    I am in 2 minds about the diary issue..............and some people are a bit patchy with ther diaries ( iykwim pania:p ). Given time it may well work as it will make locating a particular one easier.

    I don't think the idea was to make the diaries easier to see - but that's certainly the main benefit to me.

    Got the daily chat in one tab, diaries board in another tab - I'm all set...

    I'm trying to get clarification on what exactly counts as a "diary" for the purposes of that board as we speak.

    Should threads like the "Running club" and "Giving up alcohol" go there as well?

    Don't know yet. :confused:

    Now I would have started with the definitions and then done the work - or is that just me being a mathematician..? ;):p

    I know what you mean Pepe, i always subscribe to threads or diaries of interest. That way i just go into my quick links and saves me time. I still spend too much time mooching though.:o

    They probably just thought you were being difficult...

    Never mind - you'll just have to wing it. Essential items for winging it include:
    • Coins
    • Dice
    • Darts (and dartboard)

    back from a lovely trip to the park - it's beautiful out there.

    Then just spent 15 minutes trying on underwear. How can 1 bra size differ so much across so many bras?!

    Noooo you need goo (washing up liquid will do) in order to wing it properly and preferably some liquid nitrogen!!!

    Ooo and if we're really getting into it - a van de graff generator (sp?)
