Re: Transposing Chords (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Sorry Rick,
I forgot to report back 
. Just checked and the song has not changed; after your comments I checked my other songs, many of which are transposed and they are all OK.
Please list me two of the songs that you have had a problem with (and the version if there is more than one) and I will experiment with them in my song book.

Re: NGD for my pal Richard (13 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Richard had some antique paintings hanging on his wall that his father had left him. He did not really like them and they did not suit his new apartment so he has decided sell them and invest the money in something that he likes and could make use of.
He might have a third that is customised especially for him, but he is only talking about that at the moment.

I did suggest that this D12-35 might make a great Christmas present...... for me

This is the 'Sticky' that Doug was referring to. It is primarily about the adverts coving the page but there are other hints and tips there too:

No, this is a different one and a little more expensive than the previous one.

Re: new to CHordie..... noobie question.. i'M SURE.... (5 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Welcome Ronnie,
Phones were invented for...... err.............. well....... talking to people .
OK I know that these new fangled ones do all sorts of other things too, but never really successfully, and for any programme to work on a phone it has to be especially written for it. Chordie was written for use on a computer or laptop and works best on those.
Chordie was written as a hobby project by it's founder and has become immensely successful but it is run by one person who has a full time job and a family to look after and, although he would wish it to work successfully on any equipment, it takes much time to adapt or rewrite the software to suit all types so please be patient. Use a computer where you can but allow for certain limitations on other equipment.

Re: Starbucks coffee (40 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Keepitreal, I suggest one day you nip just out of Nottingham to Bulcote and find the Mulberries Coffee Shop. There are more teas there (and coffees too) than you can shake a stick at and this is proper tea. You know, the real dried leaves that you have to put in a pot, add boiling water and then filter out the spent leaves after it has brewed and before drinking......

Hi Joe,
You used the wrong address, a useful tip is that if it does not finish '.jpg' it will not work.
For the first one you used:

You should have used:

and then you would have show this dashing young man...

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
I am a child of the 60's and I have to say that Cliff Richard's song and film "Expresso Bongo" has led me astray all these years:

Re: Transposing Chords (14 replies, posted in About Chordie)
Hi Rick,
Welcome to the forum. I have no problem on my laptop. I have just been into one of my songbooks and transposed a song +5, I then closed down for half an hour and when I re-started and opened Chordie again it was still at +5. I will try again tomorrow and see if it is still the same and report back.

Re: Starbucks coffee (40 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I think we are spoilt here in Portugal. Every small coffee bar, snack bar and restaurant has a machine similar to this, where the coffee is made individually for you with freshly ground beans. I like expresso coffee and I struggle to find anything I like in the UK and on my visits to Canada and America, but I rarely find one I do not like here.

Our favorite cuppa java is what we brew at home. It's a "house brand" from our local Superstore (Loblaw's chain) called West Coast Columbian Dark Roast. It's got that bit of sweetness that Columbian is known for (unlike Arabica or Sumatran beans) and the extra roasting gives it a nice bite without being harsh.
Sounds good!! If I was a little close I would be tempted to drop round for a cuppa.

Re: SSDD (68 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Keepitreal, you are correct with the international code, but Dondra has been moved to another ward and the number given earlier is now incorrect. I e-mailed Bill and he gave me Dondra's mobile number.
So; after 17 attempts over the past 8 days I eventually had the chance to chat to the delightful Dondra at 21:00 BST (16:00 Eastern) last night and Bill was there too.
Here's hoping that Dondra is soon back home all fit and well.
Roger
P.S. We must meet up next time I am in Nottingham.

Topic: For Bill, my furry family (2 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Silkie has been with me the longest. She was dumped over a friends wall in March 2012 when she was about 3 months old. Very much an outdoor cat who only comes home for food and to sleep when it is cold outside:
She plays a pretty mean guitar too:
Here is Poppet. She lived with an old lady who had 14 dogs but Poppet was the favourite and the only indoor dog. The old lady went home to Germany and left a friend of mine to look after and feed her pack but whilst away she was taken ill and put in a nursing home never to return to Portugal. Poppet is four and a half and has been with me since November 2013:
Bambi came to me in in February this year after I lost my 21 year old cat. She was being looked after by one of the local rescue organisations who were struggling to find her a home as it is not so easy with older cats. Her passport has her birth date in 2001 but I do not think she is that old. She is very much a house cat who only goes out when she needs the loo and likes nothing better than to get under the bed covers with me and sleep in my arms:
Bella is the newest family member and has only been with me a couple of months guestimate birth in 2012. She had been found abandoned, abused and starving in a local town but has various condition that was making her difficult to home. She has leishmaniose, a condition transmitted by mosquitos, but it is under control with regular medication. She is also epileptic, the vets are not sure whether this is due to having distemper earlier in her life or a result of the bullet lodged in her skull that is unsafe to remove. She is on a daily dose of phenobarbitone for this. In spite of her problems and mistreatment she is the gentlest girl you could ever meet:
