Have you tried it? It's really not bad. The only problem I have with its approach is that when it collects data and displays it on one page you've got no indication of how reliable the information is.

I did try it, felt the same as you do now and feel it to be Live with extra bedazzle.

It changed back?
Imminently, apparently.

Don't forget the period when British Airways was just 'British'

It's significantly more complex and labyrinthine if you choose to take it back to the beginnings of pay cable TV in the UK, for me that'd be 1995. So, for me we'd be looking at:
Jones Cable Network (lasted no time, gone before the roads were dug up, wish I had the half hour promo tape still) => Bell Cablemedia => Cable and Wireless => NTL (about here is where the magic ended for me) => ntl:home => ntl:Telewest => Virgin Media
Taking into account all the various local networks and how each got eaten up during the 90s through to the early 00s it's an odd chain, gets much worse if you bring local cablevision into the equation.

Nearly as successful as changing your name to Beep!

You'd think if people were using a term derisively towards someone, they wouldn't think "ah, a cunning plan with which to slay my protestors!" and take the name for themselves, right?
