Excellent! Lovin' it!

Well, I've just emerged from underneath the floorboards and have just heard the news - you must be thrilled to bits.

Just so that you have a little momento, here's a copy of the news of Ben's return as shown on the C4 site: I know it's a bit longer than the normal post here, but somehow I don't think you will mind.

Look who's back! It's only our favourite toff, Ben!

After being evicted over three weeks ago, Ben is back in the House as part of this week's Prediction Task.
Mario was called to the Diary Room a short while ago and was asked to decide whether he would rather become the mole again and be interviewed on ‘The Ben Show’, by ex-housemate Ben, OR be handcuffed to Ben for an hour.

Mario subsequently chose to be handcuffed to Ben and was reunited with the English gent sharing a long warm embrace.



Mario then re-entered the House with Ben, much to the surprise of the other housemates. He was greated by rapturous applause, cheers and hugs and they are currently sat in the Kitchen quizzing Ben and introducing him JJ and Sam.

You might also want this link to showing his reunion.

Thank you El Loro, the pics are lovely and its just wonderful to see Ben again, I have been glued to LF

This is such a brilliant task, I hope all Ben's Buddies are managing to watch LF, Ben is revelling in having all the knowledge he does.

Ah, that was lovely, he is such a nice guy

Thanks El Loro by the way

Wasn't that great Skylark, I enjoyed that so much, look forward to the HL's tomorrow to see it all again.

Strange - this thread seems to be regularly on page 1 with no bumping required. I wonder why

MM wonder why EL     Yes that was great squiggle made my day that did, moreso because i didnt know, and just put LF on , and there he was

Ben lovely Ben isn't it great El Loro.

I head off to bed a happy bunny, seeing Ben again was lovely. Night night all, I wonder where the thread will be in the morning

Off now too, lovely seeing Ben...

A new world record for Ben's Buddies, page 4 I believe, good morning everyone.  I think the forum must have been buzzing last night.

Good morning everyone.
I can't believe my lovely Ben was back in the house - and I missed it! Serves me right for giving up on this year's BB.
Thank you for posting the clip, El Loro. Ben and Mario did seem genuinely pleasd to see each other and I'm glad Ben likes Sam.

Oh Yogi where were you?  I was hoping you and Joyron were watching LF even if you weren't on here.  I was glued to LF the whole time he was in there.  It was brilliant.  He made the rest of them look like the boring people they are.  He was brilliant to Corin and Andrew and Sam.  He was, of course, really nice and polite to everyone, hugging and kissing them.  BUT he couldn't resist dropping a few bombshells and it was great, Dave looked really nervous, as well he might, and you could see Ben was just loving having all the information that he did have.  We were all going out in a stretch limo to spend an evening with our darling Ben, all us girlies, well not really but then we can dream.

Edit:  Yogi make sure you flick back through the forum might be 3 or 4 pages back but there were loads of lovely threads about Ben last night.

Good morning all

Here'e a little momento of Ben's return:

Thank you for the clip El Loro and Good Morning.  I have been meaning to ask you, how do you put up those clips from U Tube in the way that you do?

I have given up on BB, Squiggle.
Hubby has been on leave this week, so we have been out and about.
I will read back to find the threads about Ben though, thanks Squiggle.
I'm off to the dentist this morning, and then doing the weekly grocery shopping but I'll try to get back later.

Good morning to you as well

Once the Youtube clip has started playing either let it run to the end or click to pause button. Then beneath the clip look for Share, click on that and you will see the page address already highlighted. Ctrl-C to copy that address.

Then come back here and go to your Post Reply box , and position your pointer to where you want the clip to be included.

Now click on the insert media icon (5th from the right - the one which looks like a bit of film tape).
Make sure that your pointer is in the File/Url line, Then Ctrl-V to paste the address into that line.
I then press the tab key which takes my pointer to the next box. I wait a second or so, then the front page of the clip should appear. I've never tried playing about with the dimensions box, I then just click Insert.
You should then return to your Post Reply screen and you should see a large empty box (slightly orange background) with a circle with an f sign in the middle. Carry on with your post as normal.

When you submit your reply, you should see the clip appearing as on my posts.

Good luck

Wow thanks for that El Loro, I think I will copy and paste your instructions and keep on my computer.  It looks so effective when you paste your vids like that much better than typing in a link.

squiggle, in case you didn't know, if you were to try and post a video clip from the BBC website (not from iPlayer - I haven't tried those as I think there would be no chance for copyright reasons), then you could think that you had succeeded via the good old copy & paste routine, as it would look fine in the Your Reply box, and the front image would also appear on the post. The only trouble is that nothing happend when you click on the image to play - all you get in the circle going around and around for ever and the clip wont play. All you can do is to post a link to the BBC page.

Sone websites with clips you can post, others you can't. That's why I tend to stick with Youtube, because they've got a huge library. Sometimes, someone posts a clip on Youtube which breaches copyright or the rights stay exclusively with Youtube. With that tpye of clip, you will find that either you just can't copy it on to here, or sometimes if it's a new clip, you can post it. Then Youtube withdraw the clip, so then no-one can access the clip you've posted. But this only happens rarely, at least not with me.

squiggle, I hioe you don't get caught out in the rain today - the lunchtime weather forecast was talking of up to 80mm over the hills in Cornwall, Devon, moving up through Wales and on up the country.

El Loro I am nice and snug inside, thank you for thinking of me I just hope we don't get those 300mph winds though, you may not know my situation but I live halfway down a hill directly facing the sea, those sea winds can be fierce

Afternoon everyone.   No.2 son has now gone back to Brighton so I have the computer to myself!!  I did see a little of Ben's arrival yesterday but of course I don't have LF so I didn't see much.  I'm glad he had a good time in the house.  I will look forward to watching the HL show tonight. 

I'm glad you are not caught out in what sounds really bad weather in your part of the world.

I know these 300 mph winds can be a real menace And just for amusement, I've just copied this from the same weather forecast site as before. This is my local weather for today and toomorrow.

Day	Time	Temp	Feels	UV	Pressure	Rain	Cloud	Dir	Speed	Weather
Thu 19 Aug	Afternoon	19 °c	16 °c	2	1010 mb	5.5 mm	97 %		8 mph
	Evening	13 °c	14 °c	0	1010 mb	5.8 mm	100 %		10 mph
Fri 20 Aug	Morning	18 °c	17 °c	2	2 mb	0.6 mm	100 %		13 mph
In Detail	Afternoon	20 °c	20 °c	1	1011 mb	0.9 mm	96 %		12 mph
	Evening	17 °c	17 °c	0	1014 mb	2.0 mm	47 %		10 mph

I have not changed these figures at all. As you can see, this time instead of silly wind speeds, toomorrow morning's pressure has to set a new world record for the most inaccurate forecast of all time

That's odd, I don't recall ever seeing the pressure figures before so I checked on the site for my local weather forecast, same site I think, and they don't have the pressure measurements on there at all.
