You know what makes me grumpy? All the Grumpy Old Men who appeared on the BBC TV series were younger than me, that's what makes me grumpy. Mutter, mutter....

SHIPS' NOSTALGIA

Well, blow me down, shiver me timbers and hang me from the yardarm! I signed up for the forums (or should that be fora) on ShipsNostalgia.com, hoping to get some information I needed about some old Moray Firth fishing vessels, which I am going to portray for the Duff House exhibition next June.

I had to introduce myself to the other forum members, so I wrote a little about my origins, what I do, and made a reference to my website for anyone who might be interested in my artwork. I left this posting, and more or less forgot about it, planning to use the forum to seek the information I required the following evening.

WELL! Next thing I knew, visitors were arriving at my website in their droves, and suddenly I realised that I had happened upon a good SEO weapon. Mind you, I haven't found out the information I originally required yet.
