First of all welcome to the DIS boards declansdad! Glad to meet you and I know you'll have a great time here and meet soooo many nice folks!
The tag fairy is a special "someone" who lurks around and reads what you have posted then has the ability within this web site to go into your "tag" underneath your name and adding colour he/she will write a little "ditty" about something you may have said or done in your past posts!
You cannot ask for the tag fairy to visit you but sometime when you least expect it WHAM!!!!! you've been tagged by the fairy!lol
Unlike MikeJ's theory on the other thread about tag fairies....
I think mine is better, why there are not on the Canadian board much.
The Tag Fairies have tiny, delicate, little wings and use pixie dust to color the tags. Because of our climate here in Canada, the TF must wait until the weather is warm (like now) in order to fly here and tag us. Cold weather will break their wings and freeze their pixie dust.
