Microsoft's history with restricting colour schemes does not bode well for this...with XP by default you only had a choice of fisher price blue, overly cold silver, or some minging olive green scheme.

Wasn't there two blues? I seem to remember the standard blue and 'Energy Blue', whatever that ...

It doesn't even come under going off on a tangent, it's completely and utterly irrelevant, unless I'm missing something...

I recall an episode of Question Time where Danny Alexander was vilified by the crowd for supporting the hike in English tutition fees that will have little to no effect on his constituents, saying that he consulted them about it. That would be an example of the unfairness of the current system ...

I love the accent of the Welshman in the People's Postcode Lottery advert. True Welshman wearing a red rugby top.

BBC News have just reported that it's been confirmed there will be a 7-day Sun by News International.
