Art is culture, right?

Roger , over and out!

Ana and Nonu

Sort it out!

Thanks Eloethan.

jingle I absolutely agree with you.

Not everyone uses Hotmail though, Nonu!

And your Inbox is at the top of this page, right next to the Log Out button...

Well mine is Hotmail, and I don"T know where the inbox is,! DUH

Go to your Inbox or, if you've opted to be emailed when you get a GN messaage, to your email provider.

Which may or may not be Hotmail...

That is what I go onto to receive my PM"S !

So okay, I MIGHT be wrong , shoot me !
.

You tell SOON what is the proper way to receive PM"S.

What you on about, Nonu - Hotmail?

Just think people may be waiting to hear from you !

Or just click on "Inbox" above and take it from there

oohh. I hadnt really noticed that box, and certainly didnt know what it was about.
Thanks!

My eldest G/S is in the scouts and loves it , such a worthwhile institution.

Teaches them many, many good things !

His younger brother is in the beavers and will then go to scouts, I am very pleased that my DD is carrying on with tradition as my son did the same !

Or just click on "Inbox" above and take it from there.

eh?
I will see if I can find it.

SOON , guess you are new here, do you know about private messaging?

It is where posters send messages to a poster of their choice, in private!

To access go on to HOTMAIL.

I can spell Reservists.

See?!

Please let me big up Scouting. It's much better for them. And the boys are less likely to go on to join the Reservsts. (And we know the Reservits are no longer kept in reserve, don't we?!)

That's the point Elegran. My father in law joined the Sea Scouts, and even at 80 would tell us how it saved him from getting over involved with the bad lads.

alex, in the US?

There was a cadet corps at DH's school. Most of the boys joined it, more for the camping and activities than for the soldiering. They learnt map-reading and outdoor cooking, and how to put up a tent properly and they spent a fortnight under canvas walking and climbing and orienteering. I don't think any of them actually joined the forces (except for National Service, which was not their choice)

To add a further point-not far from where I live is a high school. There is a military school within the complex. Everyday you see children from 11-17 in battle fatigues mingling amongst the children in school uniform.

I will try and learn
Thanks for the welcomings [is that a word?]

Pogs, I don't think badly of the young people who join the Forces' Cadets. A bit sorry for them, perhaps. I think Scouting would be more appropriate, and definitely more fun.

Any child planting the final poppy would have been fine by me. Just not one in an army uniform. I don't even want to explain that any further.

Just go with the flow SOON., you will get it eventually, and either stay or go.!!

A (HUG) to you

[oh sorry not supposed to put upper case or exclamation marks ]

I am norty!! going on that step though !!

My son became a cadet when he was 13, and I can't say I was happy about it, but DBH's family are all Forces, as was he years ago so I suppose it was inevitable. My first thought when I saw him in his uniform was, cannon fodder, and I didn't like seeing the young boy either. It reminded me of all those football mascot children they trot out as PR.
