[confuzn]

I was able to use private messaging on the board eariler today but now it is not working. Bas, did you take this feature off or is something broken?

I do not seem to find where or how to reach your inbox from anywhere on the forum. It seems you only get access to that when you wrote an actual private message

[confuzn]

yes, that is exactly what is happening. there used to be a tab at the top of the page eariler today, don't know where its ran off too tho.

Hey confuzn, I just ran into the first page of your website where you wonder about that guy pissing... Notice the sign saying "Vlaamse Frites"? Vlaamse means Flemish and it used to be a popular version of fries, the real "Flemish Fries". Now one of the landmarks of Brussels is the little statue of the pissing boy, called Manneken Pis. It is close to Grand Market square, just some streets off. It is well-known all over the world and it has its own wardrobe. It is a custom to present Manneken Pis a typical folk costume when some international dignitary is visiting Brussels. So the Dutch have a weed smoking cheese girl as a mascotte, and the Belgians have a little pissing boy...

I have been able to send and recieve but the only way I can check the inbox is from the emails that are being sent to me.

Thanks Hans! You rule! I appreciate the heads up on the pis subject. I notice that I have alot of pictures of "pissing" in amsterdam. I have the urinors, the Manneken Pis, the new plastic urinors, Shelf toilets... You get the idea. Hans, Ill update my page soon, thanks for the info!

Thanks for shedding light on what has been a mystery to me for a long time. Why a company would use a pissing boy as a marketing logo has always baffled me. Now I understand the historical perspective.

I must say, however, that the logo does not induce a tourist (such as me, ignorant of euro history and culture) to try the product.........

Hey Doghbreath, how do you "quote" the message that you are responding to? This is one of the things that I liked about the old forum. I just haven't figured out how to respond to a particular message in a thread.

[Bohannon]

Could it possibly be the little "quote" (that seems like it is from the department of redundancy department) tab at the top left, LOL What a dummy!

Brandy is bored, Salma must've wised up.

Exactly.




(Quoting Patrick, as Bo is even slower on the uptake after all these years.)

The joke, dear girl, is Bo continues to believe I am the brandx of yore.

I get the impression he's not losing any sleep over it.
Glad you enjoyed your joke.
