Yes Mike. That shows me how to upload vids. But how do I open an acct on YouTube? From my phone I mean? And then I only want Motorhome funsters to view it??

Dont think you will be able to just have Motorhome funsters view it .I had to change my settings to public on utube so i could post my video's on here Ian. Unless any funsters no another way ? i'd be very interested if they did x Kate

 

[Xabia]

Ian have you thought about putting the videos into a Dropbox account and then you can give us the reference on Fun restricting viewing.

Ian, the reason I said you would lose followers on here is simply that your posting seemed to say you wanted to go Facebook for the video but you also mentioned then being able to have face to face chat. Maybe I read that wrong.
But if you were to go along that line you could end up with some stuff on here and some on Facebook. That would be fine for people who use both but for the likes of me I would not see the Facebook chat and so get only half the goings on and I fear that would soon become frustrating and end up with people not reading anymore.
As I say I may have got the wrong end of your posting and as I also said, it's your choice.

Edite to add: Just looked back and you said this - The main reason I want to do it is because I would like to have a natter with you face to face,, so you can see who you have been talking to for the past 4 months or so !!

Yes fenman, wrong end of that stick!!!

I meant so I could load videos on for anyone to see along with the posts,, I didn't want to chat to anyone in real time!! Lol. Christ that would be painfull!!! Lolol. I was told by a couole of people that in order to load videos on fun, they have to put them either on YouTube or Facebook first!! That is what I meant from the off!!! Lolol. Xxx

Well good evening,,,

It's just started to rain a bit here....

And to be honest, I'm not happy!!!

I'm feeling a bit deflated to be honest!!

I think it's because I'm going back to the real world!!

Miserable weather!!

Miserable people!! All my mates have got the hump, and are really fed up. And it's beginning to rub off!! Lol.

I think the quicker I can get home,, quicker I can get some work done and the quicker I can get away again !!

Ever since I decided to just get up and go I have thought ( occassionaly ) about the lads and my way of life before!! I really don't think it was a useful life, I never really knew or wanted to know about other people,, I think the pressure of work, bills, etc had a lot to do with it!! I suppose certain people did get a great deal of benefit out of it, but I really didn't realise how much this travelling would open my eyes to life in general!!

I think travelling, meeting different people, and this way of life is amazing,, they should have it on the curriculum at schools! Lol. When there 17. Give them the keys to a Motorhome for a year and tell em to piss off!! Lolol !!!

Anyway I'm nearly home and I am thinking about what to write on the ferry for my last post of the thread?

Do I start another thread when I'm back or do I just work, save and get another one going when I leave again? I am undecided!!!! All I know is it's raining here and it feels bloody cold !!! Lol.

Sleep well people, and I will post tomorrow !!

 

[mikebeaches]

Cheer up - summer will eventually arrive in the UK!

Safe travels.

 

[Clarky]

Whatever you decide when you get back to Blighty Ian, please do keep us all up to date with what you are doing.
You have so many friends on here that will have an interest in your continuing new life.
You probably won't have the time once you are working to keep up the number of posts but just an occasional one to keep in touch will be great.

Keep cheerful, think positively and look forward to your next adventure.

Richard

Ian, just wanted say thank you for a wonderful funny honest entertaining thread. When you get back to the UK could not start one on your work and plans for your next adventure
If it's possible and only @Jim will know, can this thread be lifted and kept somehow so you don't loose all these special memories. Once again

 

[Brightonian]

I would say keep it all on this thread, it's great reading about your adventures in fact it's the first thing i go to when i turn the computer on!

I've really enjoyed reading your thread, Ian, and agree with Langtoftlad. Begin a new chapter! Good luck with finding work.

 

[irnbru]

Thanks for the great thread. Was really enjoyable.

 

[Tanya_and_Mick]

Ditto, it's been a great read....

 

[gus-lopez]

Well Ian you have now discovered one very, very important thing about France. The period of 12.00 to 2.00 in the middle of the day is sacrosanct. It's lunchtime and nothing but nothing should interupt it.

& the second is that it all shuts at 10p.m.

 

[ianthebuilder]

Good morning ,,,,

ICE. ICE. ICE. ICE. ICE

I can't believe it,, a lovely morning and ice on the front of helga!! I havnt seen a morning this cold since winter 2014/15. Lolol. It's getting bloody colder the further north I get!!!! Lol

Still, all sorted, slept well, just showered and emptied personal tank!! Alls good!!

Gonna have a brew or 2 and then start the journey further north!!!

Will message later when I know where I am!!! Or will be !! But your guess is as good as mine!!! Xxxxxx. Have a good morning!! Xxxx

There is a YouTube app which you can download. Once you have installed that it will give you the option to open an account.

I've uploaded a video to YouTube while touring but I used another app first to reduce the size of the file. Unfortunately, it was on a different tablet to the one I have now so I can't remember what it was! However, the point is the raw video is likely to be a massive file which will take ages and use a lot of data to upload.

I suggest install the YouTube app first and then have a play with it. Linking videos on YouTube to show on the forum is then simple.

Your idea of putting the video on Facebook is a bad one.
I, and a whole lot of other people, are not on Facebook and would never join up in a million years so we won't be seeing it.
Youtube would be a far better place to put it.
But if you want to chat on Facebook rather than here that's your choice but I fear you will lose a lot of followers.

Your right Fenman..... we made the mistake of stopping at a roadside restaurant in the Limousin at 1.30pm.a couple of years ago, black looks from the staff.... second big mistake was saying parlez vous Anglias to which the waitress replied in French, "Why should I speak English... I am in France". Anyway we ordered an omelette with chips, paid the bill and left a decent tip........... Well that night we both violently sick and had the squits
God knows what they did, I dread to think!

Well hello ,,,,

Today I decided to give the motorways a miss and drive to angers through the countryside!!!

Apart from it being a chilly 7 degrees, the sun is out and is lovely !!!

I have driven through the most beautiful of villages, towns, and countryside!! In fact I had to stop here at an aire by the roadside to write this post!!! It's really amazing !!

Now as a bricklayer I will describe the difference I think between Spain and France,,,,,,, are you ready,,,,,,,

If lads you are having trouble with your relationship, wish to put the romance back in your lives, want to romance the woman you love ,,,, then bring her to France and while holding hands walk her into the nearest village, treat her to a nice bottle of wine, a really nice light meal and then without hesitation take her by the hand into the middle of one of these beautiful fields, surrounded by butterflies and sunshine, gently lay her down and start kissing her neck, while undressing her slowly and then and only then take time to caress her all over and then make gentle tender love to her for the afternoon !!!! That's it about France lads, she will love it and you,, forever !!!!

Now Spain ,,,,, get her across the border, drag her out the Motorhome, buy a bottle of beer and some tappas slap her arse, bend her over an old Rock , and just let her have it !! While your holding up the beer in your outstretched hand screaming at the top of your voice WHAT TIMES HAPPY HOUR!!!

That is the romantic bricklayers guide to the difference in the two countries!!!


Have a lovely day people, I will post later when I get to wherever I end up !!!! Xxxxxx

 

[Madeinengland]

I'll have whatever your on Ian.
Angers is a big university town. Nice chateau.
The Loire river is beautiful. If I was in that area I would go look at Saumur rather than Angers. Love it.

Samur is a lovely town with a cheap aire a cycle away from the town.

Most ladies seem to draw the line for alfresco hide the sausage at 15 degrees C.......unless they are Russian, see if you can find one for 7 degrees
