This is merely a short break whislt all the characters go away to rest, have a wash and a change of clothes, maybe a shave, maybe a short spell in rehab, before coming back in rude health and cracking form. :)

square brackets. a pair of them at either end of the bit of text you want to do something with.
[]like this[]
Now in the brackets at the end of the text, you put a forward slash.
[]like this[/]
Now here’s the clever bit! Just inside the opening and closing brackets you put a letter. It can be b, i or u.
Can you guess what they might do?
Good :)
Now you try …

If you quote a previous post dan, and use the same format of square brackets and backslashes that fit around the bit that says “quote” in your reply only don’t use the qord quote, use either an i for italic a b for bold or a u for underline - it will work.

And I learned that there is no such thing as Health and Safety in Holland, they are all barbarian maniacs and that is why there are no children or old people. The old, young and disabled all at the bottom of the canals after being hit by trams and motorbikes. It took me 2 days to work out what side of the road the traffic is supposed to be on. The people on motorbikes drive on what passes for pavements and don’t wear helmets, and the pedestrians just run screaming from one bit of ground to the next. The traffic lights are a joke, because the cars and trams just don’t stop regardless of what colour the lights are, and the cyclists just wobble about all over the place and try and avoid being hit by other stuff. I’m lucky to be alive.

That depends on whether you are planning to keep it beating or eat it ;)
It really was genuinely very scary, but after the first few hours it’s impossible to stay that scared so you just think ‘balls to it’ and run in front of the trams :(
On the plus side the museums and architecture and stuff were amazing, and I only saw one dog poo. Although that might be because I daren’t look down or stop moving my head around.
I’m going back soon though - there was too much stuff I didn’t get to see. But next time I will pack a helmet and elbow pads.

I’ll sit back and let them: They can all go through the laborious process of begging to fund their differences, but they’ll end up exactly the same as each other. Whereas I, by not begging to differ, will be the only one who’s any different. Partially by virtue of not begging, and partially by being ‘the same’, unlike everyone else, who are now different (and therefore not differing).
There’s a Government pamphlet on the subject, if you’re interested?
