I realise this is a little late..... but if you click on the little man next to El Loro's name a list comes up, one of which is "start dialog".

You can test it on mine if you like......*wiggles little man infront of GJ*

Filthy Ducky!!

Some of us are stuck at home while their offspring are out on a date.   I have needs you know

Ooh, goody - I have a thread named after me - fame at last

GJ, I did see your post. I have sent you a PM by the way

Wonder how many days it'll be before he manages to open and read it?

Depends if his options are set to get email notifications when he receives a PM

And GJ, if you don't get an email notification, just move your pointer over the Livecloud logo at the top of the page and click on Your Dialogs to get to where your PMs are.

I just did that, and there were two from some time ago sitting there! Sorry to Stonks and Super, I didn't realise!

Me too  I've just replied to one and this thread prompted me to look 

Several hours as it happens but I take on board your point. You know me so well.

Well...you are a bloke after all!

Makes me wonder just how many other forum members miss out on PMs they've been sent. They really should have set up a How to do things section on this site - the trouble is where could it be put so that it was noticeable to everyone and was in the same place. And we don't want yet another sticky.

Of course when one gets to my age, one can be told how to do PMs every few months or so.

There was when it first opened...I'm pretty sure there was a sticky where people put all their questions (and got their answers).

Took me ages to find your post El Loro, you shouldnt have deleted it. I have noticed a few Irish this week not wearing a poppy. It is a personal choice, and you are entitled to your opinion as well as others

Well this is no good. I mean, he can't PM so he starts a thread to El Loro so we all get to see what's going on, then they start PM'ing each other and we don't get to hear all the gory details 

Shocking

I do hope that you are not suggesting that our private discussion was of an Ugandan nature! Since we could probably sue.

Thanks Skylark.  I wish I had seen the post you are referring to.  The Poppy is not worn in Ireland for reasons I have pointed out in The Poppy Thread and I am saddened by the bias that has appeared in this Forum in the last few months.  
Sorry Joe for bringing this up in your thread but I needed to answer this post.

Tayto, my deleted post went on to refer to an article on Wiki. I took a small extract from it in my post, but the article itself reads:

In the Republic of Ireland, Armistice or Remembrance Day is not a public holiday. In July there is a National Day of Commemoration for Irish men and women who died in past wars and on service with the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces. Remembrance Day is observed by the Republic’s citizens who are serving or who have served in the British Armed Forces and the very small Irish Unionist community as part of their cultural heritage. The wearing of the poppy is generally frowned upon due to the British Army action's during the Irish War of Independence and to a lesser extent their role during the Troubles. The Republic is a neutral state. It's standing army is involved in UN peacekeeping missions. A very small number of citizens from the Republic of Ireland still enlist in the British Army. However the British Army is explicitly prohibited from actively recruiting under the Defence Act, 1954.  The Irish National War Memorial Gardens is an Irish war memorial in Dublin dedicated to the memory of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who were killed in action in World War I Remembrance Sunday is marked in the Republic by a ceremony in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, which the President of Ireland attends.
