Of course Sept 11 also took that fab coffee advert where the annoying American gets ejected out of a plane.

Wasn't it "Where do you want to go today?" Cheese Head?

you keep saying that JM but the only differences I can see are the thinkness of the quote box and the size of the topic title on these pages, both of which would easily be fixed

The video for Wuthering Heights is the most wonderful piece of dance after Ison's famous curtains dance on webcam.

I do not believe in it, I think it's a load of old clap trap, like Ison.

People do, however, ask me why I celebrate Christmas. Well it's because I celebrate a true festival to the joys of capitalism, you get poor, others get rich. It sums up our modern lives so wonderfully.

I can't stand the smell of fags myself. My dad smoked until a year ago and you get used to it, but then you pass someone in the street and you realise just how vile it is.

Few of my friends actually smoke though, it's generally thought of as too expensive so it's not done. Anyhow, why smoke when ...

I don't - I have a feeling he'll blame MI6 and the other intelligence people because that way neither party can be hurt.

I generally think of time this way

05:00 - 11:59 = Morning
12:00 - 12:59 = noon
13:00 - 17:59 = Afternoon
18:00 - 20:59 = Evening
21:00 - 22:00 (winter) 21:00 - 23:00 (summer) = dusk
the rest of the time is night.

I suppose by the time they finally get the things released we'll all have 20 Terrabytes of memory so it won't be as bad.

I do hope they change the skin between the current one and the final release as the one on all the leaked screenshots is ghastly. I'm not sure if I will bother to upgrade as I ...

I still have Netscape 4.06, which is ancient in computer terms but
nevertheless it can handle most things the modern web throws at it.


Except for most pages written mostly with W3C standards compliant code.

A few examples:
Eric Meyer's CSS Demo - Mozilla.org - CSS ZenGarden

These sites, and ...
