Anyone who’s interested in old clips of TV shows including Tiswas, Supergran etc there are a few clips here.

You’ll need realplayer.
And for the connoisseurs of Kids TV themes does anyone remember ‘The Forest Rangers’ “XNY 556 A for Apple†back in 63-65,
I know I’m very very sad I’ll get me coat

so if anyone has it or knows where I can get it let me know.If you love 70’s children’s tv then you should go here: :arrow:
This is a brilliant site for all the theme tunes to kids tv. There’s lots I’ve never heard of but some that I’d forgotten, remember ‘The bucket of water song’ from TISWAS?
We’ve used them on our telephone system for call waiting it’s much better than green sleeves and our customers love it, they sometimes ask to be put on hold again!
There's also a bit for old TV ads aswell.
Enjoy

I was staying at one hotel a few weeks ago and im sure I saw a notice that said Ibis do a day rate from 9am-6pm
Try them and see
Thats very interesting :idea: I'll see if I can book a day rate in a city centre Ibis hotel and let you know.

Babe,
Dont forget to find out how much extra you have to pay for your Chicken...........
I've rang the Ibis Hotel in Liverpool but they don't do day rates, so it may be hotels near airports that do them for obvious reasons. Chicken is extra!!!!

Quote by blonde
Just had a thought (an unusual occurance)
If you wanted to take your Chicken with you to a hotel....... would the hotels charge extra....... do u think???
Please put me on iggy........ I have started to ramble !!!!
It depends if you ask for a Clucktail bar and a Coup size bed!!!!
I'll get me coat

Thanks Serendipity,
I've been back on and joined. For some reason I'd got onto the elite club before and they wanted my credit card details so that’s why I thought you had to pay :confused:
It's still a bit expensive though for a room. There is one at at the Holiday Inn Express in Knowsley. I've stayed there before I think.
I'm going to give the Ibis hotel in Liverpool a try next week, see if the beds can stand the pace!!!
Thanks again

Formula 1 hotels are very good I've used them quiet a lot but the Hotels are sometimes a little below par. I've tried to get in the LIverpool one before but it always seems to be full.
I've tried the Ibis hotel and that looks favourable at the moment for a double en-suite and I think I know where it is. They can't guarantee the early check in but are sure we could get in at noon.
So thanks everyone. :cheers:

Yes I've done that, and there is a plethora of hotels but they don’t state if they do early bookings so I’ve spent hours ringing round without any joy. Also there’s loads of agency type sites where you tick the boxes and they find a room, but again there’s none that specify an early check-in option.
It would be great if someone could do a database of these types of hotels

As I tend to have liaisons during the day I’m finding it increasingly difficult to find hotels that let you check in at say am. It’s normally after 2-3pm. London’s not too bad and I’m ok around Birmingham but Liverpool’s a nightmare. Does anyone know a chain of hotels that aren't extortionate but do early check-ins I don’t need to be right in the City centres but not to far out and anything in and around Liverpool would be great.
Thanks in advance.

We’ve just had a new bathroom suite fitted, and there’s an old saying if it aint bust don’t fix it so what’s the bloody point of a pop up plug in a sink? In the past it was simple, pull the plug out and the water goes down the plug hole and you could start drying yourself. Now, due to the fact that the water pressure is greater when the sink is full of water I have to stand holding the plug open until the pressure equalises and it stays open on its own. And I know it was my own fault (although I suppose I could blame my wife) but why have a central mixer tap on a wash basin? Surely the fact that you have a tap either side is the sensible approach, this means when you wash your face you don’t smash your head on a central tap!!!! 
Sod it I’m off for a shower.

Try this if you're using XP.
Double click on your jpeg. This should open it in microsoft photo editor.
Right click on the image. This will bring up a box, in the box it says Cut, Copy, Paste and Properties.
Click on properties, this gives you the size of the current picture in Bytes and how many pixels there are height and width.
From this you can estimate what percentage you have to reduce the picture to achieve about 150 x 110 pixels. (Don't worry you can check as you reduce it).
Click on ok (that gets rid of the box)
Now on the main toolbar click on image then choose resize from the drop down box.
A box resize will appear with height width and percentages.
There is a drop down box marked Units just above the cancel button. click on this and change it to pixels.
Now all you have to do is reduce the percentage size until you have reduced it enough 150 x 110 pixels.
Press ok and save it with a slightly different name to the original. You should then be able to upload the pic.
Hope this helps.
