Use the search box to the left side of the page, it's above the man in the hat. Put in Irish Sites and you'll be presented with pages of information!!!

P.S. When you find a thread of interest you can bookmark it so you'll easily find it again. Use the facilities below the man in the hat, on the left of the page.

Good luck,
K

Nudging just means writing something, even if it's just 'N' or 'nudge', in the reply box to get the thread to go back to the top of the page where it will be noticed.

So, for example, as soon as I send this reply, this whole thread will go to the top of the page on the Tips Board.
So if there's something I want you to see, that I've seen maybe a week or two ago, which I know will be of interest to you, I could say as Nicky did, Hannah I'm nudging up a thread for you.
