Hi Chris, welcome to the madhouse....

To get smilies in your posts....

Next to where you type your message, on the right hand side there are the smiley icons. Just click the one you want when you want it in your message (you will also soon learn how to type them straight in )

As for abbreviations.... IIRC is 'if i remember correctly'. Dont really know about any others

Cheers

The dangers of abbreviation!

I use this to mean: In My Humble Opinion.
As I thought most do.

Leaving quite a margin for offence/argument I suspect!

Honest / Humble - whats the difference?

(okay, i think its supposed to be humble but i always write honest for some reason!)


Jon Ison - 9/2/04 at 01:36 PM

if i'm honest i thought it was humble, honest ??

I very rarely use that one, I'm hardly ever honest, and seldom humble.

Cheers

Chris
