I'd already presumed you just delete stuff if you only wanted a certain line showing, but i find it less faff if i just put the line in bold (I don't know why, but it gives me a certain little sexual pleasure type of feeling when i put something in bold and like to use it whenever possible, so if you see anything of mine in bold, just think of my feelings wilya)
I'm also struggling to use multiple quotes, well i say struggling, i haven't even tried to figure it out yet, i just know it's gonna be way too hard for me, and i have a life.
I got a stiffy on when i found out how easy it was to do that you tube thingy, i was on my 4th laptop at that point though, so any help is much appreciated.
I'm an italics girl myself. I find it a more elegant way of adding emphasis.
I don't think we can do multiple quotes, so I'll have to reply to each comment separately.

I don't get all the lovies singing the praises of Anne Heche...
The drugged up trollop drove her car into someones house, and blew the bloody thing up......
Never a mention of the poor sod who's house it was.....
I think some perspective needs to be introduced here...
My worst midge experience was at a midsummer festival in Scotland in the 90s. The conditions were perfect for them; it'd been raining for days, then the sun came out, and it was very warm.
They swarmed all over you and there was no way to get away from them. I remember talking to a man with a white beard, which appeared black for being covered with the pesky things.
I even took up smoking cigars to keep a cloud of smoke around me as a deterrent. I was completely covered with bites, every inch. The only way to soothe the itching was to rub whisky on them.

What a waste of whisky, but needs must to deter the little blighters.

It's really oppressive if you can't get away from it... at least you had the option of jumping in the canal.
Hottest we had was 44 on Kefalonia one August. Coped with it by riding round the coast road on a scooter, and stopping every few miles to get in the sea.
I wouldn't want to dip a toe into the canals with all the sea toilets trundling up and down

Reminds me of the classic film Caddyshack. The turd in the pool scene.
Slight tangent here - Faaip plays golf like Happy Gilmore.
Great golf films both.

You're not far wrong, but with a lot less talent.
We’d all like to play golf like HG.
Or Bill Murray in CS. “Cinderella story, out of nowhere, 450 yards to the pin, got about a 5 iron.......”. Makes me laugh every time tbh.
