Del illuminated Womad 2014..and started a trend..

You need a space between the smilies, eg Unforunately it doesn't seem to support smilies with noses :-) You can click the smiley icon on the toolbar when you're typing your post and select from there too Annnnnd... with this newfangled edit button you can go into your post and manually fix those smilies!

Sindigo Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 There's a section on here talking about kids at WOMAD. http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/womad/2001/review-kids.shtml I think it could do with some updating though...

nigenet Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Aha... Seems edit is only available for an hour (unless you pay for the gold membership) - On the subject of which, anyone know if it's worth forking out the eighteen squids a year for ad-free forums and mega-editing privileges?

standing stone Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 How much just for ad and unsolicited music free? Is there a link?.. not to worry - I'll have a mooch around when I have more time to hand. There ought to be a roll call somewhere..... make sure everyone gets here safely!
