In the top right-hand corner where it says "Good afternoon Acrylic-bob", underneath you'll find "Private messages" underlined. Click on this link and you should get into your messages. I already sent it, so it should be there. You can use private messages if you want to say something to someone...

I'll send you a Private Message, Woodhead!

For your sake, Bob, I hope he DID mean the nuns, 'cos if he was referring to my dad as an "old dear", and you were in the same year as him, then I'd take it quite badly if I were you!!

I think it's gone up a bit in the last 15 years or so. I remember when I was at school we learnt that the population of Accy was around 28.0000. They may have misled us of course, but if not, that could mean the area is prospering and people from outside are coming in. I think in the 1800s the...

I never say anything I wouldn't say to someone's face! ....you did mean the nuns didn't you, or were you referring to my dad???

On the 24th evening baby Jesus brings pressies to the little Children, so they get pressies twice! Alright for some eh? Though I must say they don't spend as much as Xmas as we do in England, the children usually get one Christmas present. On St. Nic's day, they may get a couple of things, but...
