Hi guys! Got my sensible head on, although how I've managed it I've no idea as I've not been awake for long since leaving the bus! Just wanted to post a caution about posting photos from the trip, particularly on public forums like this one and facebook etc. This topic has been raised with me already, both on the bus back and since getting home and seems to be a valid point. My suggestion is that we seek permission of those in photos if there is anything that someone might not want the world and his aunty seeing. Many of us have work contacts on facebook accounts etc and while nothing untoward happened on the trip (that I know of!), there will be photos that could be easily misinterpreted or potentially damage reputations by anyone who wished to do so.

Dolly will start work on hosting a site specifically for Cologne photos in the near future which is likely to be password protected and therefore safe to post on. Once we've got details of it we'll let you know.

Any thoughts on the matter or suggestions? (polite ones only please!

)

Thanks guys and sorry for being boring! Now, where is my bed ...........

Fair point, well made. Have removed my album until permission granted - thanks Anne and Dolly.

Sensible prevails!

I've not posted any exciting photos on Facebook but my profile thingy is all set to max privacy anyway so only friends can see it.

damn it you're right again!!!

Have only posted pictures I believe people would be ok with being shared! Untagging is simple and as the fairy says, privacy settings are avalable for limited profile people etc etc.

If anyone is particularly embarrased by any of my photos please let me know.

anyone else feeling remarkably normal this morning... I'm at work, i don't hurt, my throat's a bit croaky but actually I'm ok...

Zed

it feels strangely wrong to not have a hipflask thrust in my direction every 5 minutes. I think I need to go out and buy a bigger one just to make the withdrawls less!

*passes virtual hipflask around*

No Zed - there is nothing about me that feels 'normal'! I've been awake for 5 hours since 3pm yesterday and I'm still tired and broken. My knees are refusing all stairs, I've had to remove the bottle of Morgan's Spiced from the optic in the kitchen as my head can't take it and I'm getting regular flash backs of the most bizarre, but definately real images. And I miss everyone badly! It is too quiet and all my crazy has gone. Roll on Koln 2009
