Do you want it on the desktop or in the dock?
Either way, find the folder in the Finder, but the main part of the Finder (not the side bar on the left which is like a shortcut). You should be able to do this by going Macintosh HD, Users, Jahled. Just drag and drop it.

That's not the actual folder though.
If you do it this way and move the alias you've created it wont effect the actual folder. If you do it my then you've actually moved the folder itself.

that's a good idea
the original intent was to be a play on the german 'inselaffen' ('island monkeys' - what they call english football fans) he was going to be a monkey throwing his own shit, but i gave up on it
I took a glass straight out of the dishwasher after it had been running and poured myself a glass of milk. The sound of the glass cracking sounded like a milk-top faling on our laminate floor, so I looked down to find no milk-top which I considered strange, even stranger I had the milk-top in my hand. Then I realised the glass was cracked. Length? I realised the glass had cracked and got a new one. I cooled it off with drops of water first. /QOTW story.

I've never quoted Ben Elton, not in any form not even Blackadder to my knowledge.
Or Richard Curtis, if you'd have said Adam Curtis you might have been closer....although I'm not sure how much of his documentaries you can quote.
I never quote Stephen Fry as far as I know, sketches he has been in yes, but never the man himself. Similar of Wodehouse.
On another note, did you see that DC Zombies post this morning?

Read all of the zombie ones and other comics they feature in as far as I know.
When I was looking into them on wikipedia I read that the next Marvel Zombies will involve everyone being turned into monkeys...........
For a minute you think the comic industry has taken a violent and dark turn, painting its usually boring and two dimensional characters as tortured ghosts of humanity who have eaten their loved ones, then they manage to fuck everything up by trying to make money. MONKEYS!

the whole think about Yorkshire
and saying 't' instead of 'the is a myth perpetuated by Southerners and usually is accompanied by tales of whippets and flat caps.
I have no comprehension of your first sentence. I have never heard that uttered or seen it written before in my life.
Everybody goes "down the road" and it's Cumbrians and north Lancastrians who might be guilty of saying 'were' as a prefix. Certainly not here in Manchester.

The people I deal with from Yorkshire do the "t" thing all the time although they are generally the older generation (50 plus). The younger ones don't seem to do it as much.
The "give it ooosss" thing I've not heard in Manchester but I have in the North East and Yorkshire and even in parts of Nottingham.

It seems odd because it's technically wrong - it conflicts with how you learned the language.
But before long "wrong" words end up more prevalent than "right" words, and people who condemn others for doing it wrong are little more than old men waving sticks around and gibbering about the decline of language.
