fugit inreparabile tempus
(Virgil's Georgics book 3 line 284 which is the start of the section on the care of sheep and goats. In English that's "it escapes, irretrievable time" and is the source of the phrase "tempus fugit/time flies")
Yes, indeed. Time does fly.

...how do you get animated smileys to work on the iPad running Safari, please?
I don't have an answer to that as I don't have an iPad or use Safari, but animated smileys seem to be generally gif images. I think some people have had problems with trying to get animated pictures for their avatar when using Safari so these may be the same problem.

Okay thanks El 
*gets ready to hail Lori to see if she can help remembering not to shout so as not to incur her wrath*
Lori, help required please...can you sort my above problem perleeeeeeeze
Hi, Moonie! 
Here's how: you find your gif, and you go up to the URL of the gif. Copy that link, and go to your post on gaga. Click the little icon in the posting menu that has the photo (Insert/edit image). In the popup that appears, paste the URL into the Source field. Then click OK, and voila! You have an animated gif!

Nope, it doesn't work Lori...
I couldn't get that one to work, either, Moonie, but I don't know why. I did get this one to work:
Try a different site?
I don't understand why you can't.
i am using my iPad/safari browser with no trouble (except for the gif site you used.)
Can you remind me of your OS version and iPad version?

Nooooooo that's fine at least you helped to get me going 
Moonie, if you were to use the site Lori linked to you would need to use the third option the URL one rather than the HTML or BBcode options:
For a gif image the option code should end with gif and start with probably http or possibly www. If there is text or characters before http or after gif then that's the wrong option and won't work.
