:twisted: If you see a groovy smilie that someone has used on these forums that is not amongst the forum stock and you want to use it.....

Make a note of where the smilie is on the persons post.

Click the quote button on that post.

Where the smilie is, there will be a passage of text, write it down.

When you type in that text on your post the smilie will appear :mrgreen:

Hope that helps :wink:

Glad you like my sig Tim :D

Not to sound like a dim American (even if I fit the bill)- what exactly is Boxing Day? I know it's some sort of celebration the day after Christmas, but I've just never been clear on why and how it is celebrated. :oops:

... what exactly is Boxing Day?
Boxing Day (St Stephen's Day) was traditionally in Britain the day when money was given to servants/tradespeople in recognition of the year's service, and colection boxes in the chruch were opened and their contents distributed to the poor. So presents were exchanged with family/friends on Christmas Day, and a one-way "giving" to those who served or were less fortunate took place the following day. The Christmas Carol, King Wenceslas, talks of him stepping out on St Stephen's Day to give food to the poor, so there seems to have been a long time tradition of giving to those less fortunate the day after Christmas Day.

Known as a Bank Holiday in the UK, because it's a day when the banks stay shut, the tradition was taken by the British to lands they colonised .. just think Sherrie .. if it wasn't for that tea you might be celebrating it in the US still :) [/quote]
