LOL

I nearly ran over a Cliff, when I saw who it was

I shall not answer, as three in a row, in the one 24 hour period, should be enough for anyone

I'll answer it Tony - Cliffie Young won the first Sydney to Melboune ultramarathon with that distinctive shuffle of his I believe that he was already over 60 at the time.

Your right BB over to you.

Thats him Sheba he died a couple of days ago, who have you got for us ?

 

Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [manwel nojea]; February 11, 1934  May 29, 2017) was a Panamanian politician and military officer. He was military dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989, when he was removed from power by the United States during the invasion of Panama.

From the 1950s until shortly before the U.S. invasion, Noriega worked closely with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Noriega was one of the CIA's most valued intelligence sources, as well as one of the primary conduits for illicit weapons, military equipment and cash destined for U.S.-backed counter-insurgency forces throughout Central and South America. Noriega was also a major cocaine trafficker, something which his U.S. intelligence handlers were aware of for years, but allowed because of his usefulness for their covert military operations in Latin America.

Fine Elsewhere if I understand, you want to insert a picture so that appears as part of the text in your post. Obviously you know how to import a picture so once you've done that place your cursor at the end of the text then click "insert" (at the bottom below the text box) and the pic should appear after your text - I'm not sure that the device you are using will change the method.  I hope this is what you are after sorry if I didn't understand your question.

Merle Haggard... Found a lot of interesting stuff about this guy. Died in April 2016. In his seventies, marketed and smoked Marijuana, which is legal in some U.S. States as well as being a musician...

He's the one Ken. Who do you have for us?

 

Merle Ronald Haggard (April 6, 1937  April 6, 2016) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and fiddler. Along with Buck Owens, Haggard and his band the Strangers helped create the Bakersfield sound, which is characterized by the twang of Fender Telecaster and the unique mix with the traditional country steel guitar sound, new vocal harmony styles in which the words are minimal, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville sound recordings of the same era.

Thank you FE. And welcome to our little game. I didn't respond to your request for information about posting a picture from an iPad, because I don't know !! I don't have an iPad or iPhone, I use a laptop, the procedure of which is basically the same, however Dave (BB) was able to assist. Another procedure we adopted some time back is when you confirm the name of the photo posted that someone has identified, you post the Bio of that person in your photo. Usually easy to find. Just type the name into Google, lots of sites will usually pop up, but the most comprehensive is Wikipedia...Also, if nobody has identified your photo after 24 hours, start posting clues. We don't have any rules here, we just rely on everyone's common sense...Regards...Ken.

Ok, Let's try this one:
