Discovered a brilliant TV show: Sons of Anarchy. A California based Motorcycle Club. Guns, motors, women everything you name it it there. From CIA to Colombian cartels. Very good acting as well, no joking. Top quality music, too. B-)
I was a bit late, though, as it's on its 5th year. But watching it a few episodes a night, so already caught up with it.

Hmmm....never liked it. Loved Katy Segal but not enough for us to watch. Maybe we'll rent the first season and try to get into it.

I wouldn't be surprised as the first couple of episodes, say even up to 5-6, are slow and sort of story building type ones. I remember that I was somewhat disappointed with it as well. But I got a bit stubborn and continued to watch, then the story really grasped me. Katy Segal is brilliant, playing a though-mean-biker-o'lady!

Another thumbs up for SoA. Some great plot twists and gritty action.

Plus, I'm in love with Kate Segal all over again! :p

It ran on TV for a while where I am. I do not watch much telly any more but while it was as background back then and the show happened to be on, I watched, not bad really.
My reaction/opinion might be a bit underwhelming because I am more of a sci-fi, eldritch horror person.

Yeah. And we're sport bike riders that Hardley's hate so the show didn't do it for us for that reason too. Will try it though just to see Katey (or her boobs).

Why is it nearly, or really, impossible to post a picture in here?

I checked it, buddy. Seems everything OK on the stalkermod side of the things. Working as before like that photos need to be uploaded by the user to a photo site like photobucket, etc, and the given link is embedded to the post by choosing "Img" from the top menu on the post window, as before.
But images found through Google can not always (almost never) be posted into the forum. Google doesn't let it. I haven't noticed any problems with photos embedded from one's own photo server/site, in this instance. But, if there is further details on the problem, coming from any photo uploading sites, we can make some test runs on it.
Btw, while checking that if there's a glitch on the site or not, I've seen that your motorbike pictures still remain on the old page. Real gem, man!

Thanks Michael B-) I use Photobucket and keep getting the same message, "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image" even if I change it.

I think that, also heard it from other sites as well, some of the photo upload sites' software malfunctions and cannot determine the allowed pixel limits on the target sites (forums). I made some adjustments here, hopefully will help at some degree. :mozilla_smile:


PS: Also, while on the subject, there is a very useful function offered by some browsers, like Google Chrome and Safari, etc, which is called "Hoover Zoom" (or in any such effect terminology) which actually blows up an image right out of a photo link just by hoovering your mouse over that (image) link, whether on a forum or BBC or a site like IMDb. In such cases, seeing a photo without actually downloading or visiting the connected host page is very possible.

I'm glad it works now, :mozilla_smile:

On the question: Well, it looks like a house, or houses, but I guess it may be a trick question, so I'd go for "semi-detached prison with butler service for bankers?" lol.
Hmm, still thinking....

It does look familiar for some reason but can not quite figure out why.

On a different note.
