The Sugababes are also skinny, but that still didn't stop them blocking the route from my desk past the pool table to the coffee machine when I was wrestling with a particularly thorny set-theory-related problem in XSLT at the radio studios in Bristol when they were doing the interview circuit prior to the release of Push the Button
Silly mares

Oh, and the landlord wants to know what I'd charge him to build the pub a web site - just a few pages, and the facility to update the grub menu every few days
Given that such a thing is pretty easy to knock together, and that I like the pub, I suspect he may get a bargain. To be honest, I might just knock something together over the weekend and, if it's all he needs, help him to set up the domain name and hosting and grab a few free beers off him. I don't suppose he's either expecting or willing to pay the kind of rates I extort from my clients, but it's a good pub and I don't mind doing him a favour, as long as it's understood that long-term support would cost an arm and a leg.
