    If I may be so bold, anyone apart from knob-ends will laugh at it.

    It harbours a subliminal message, something like: "Look at me, I am a c***."

      I hate these fancy fonts. A web "expert" thinks we should be using Belleza on our site. Hate it. REAL MEN use Times New Roman or Arial or Courier.

      Re Wordpress, I would not use it myself as doing too many quirky things but it seems very polished in modern browsers, error checks=zero. Roll back the IE versions a bit and it really screws up. Does that matter? Not sure.

        Arial all the way

        Quick and simple WP has it for some client's web needs, only rarely do I have to do it all from scratch where a CMS just doesn't cut it.

          Oh and Cojak, don't give him your address - you may be this client of which he speaks.

            I spent 8-2 on Sunday waiting in for the Currys KnowHow ( I don't think they do really) cretins to arrive and install my new cooker.

            After ringing 3 times they tell me they have wrongly sent out a one man team for a dual fuel install.

            Right now I am waiting in for the Currys KnowHow cretins to arrive again, they were supposed to be here around 8a.m. Late already!!!

            Update: Now they aren't going to be here til 11:30-12:00. WTF.

            Am I dumb?!!

              I spent sunday up and down ladders painting the dining room. This was after I spent Saturday painting the dining room ceiling.
              However I must admit it look nice now.

                I got up at 3.45am to drive someone to Heathrow - came back and went to bed until midday.
                Then had some friends over one to babysit and one to help Mrs MUN and me SORT THE GARAGE!

                We spent about 4-5 hours dragging things out, sorting what it was etc and filing it appropriately. Now the garage is minus a load of stuff I took to the dump, minus a load of stuff that has gone to a charity shop and everything else is actually on shelves etc. Our show kit is stored in the trailer with amour and weapons where we can easily reach them for training. Sandbags, sledges, large water bottles and other exercise equipment is also now where I can get it. Wooo hooooo!!!!

                Back in the house for pizza and Dr Who.
