      I have two comments.

      1. "Punch the monkey"

      and

      2. "VULNERABILITY FOUND!!! Click here to download a free virus scan"

        It has joined our collection of stations we listen to; primarily because of Breakfast with Alice.

        Since Jonothan Ross came back from his ban he has been dreadful; Planet Rock's "Rock's Place" is far better. So that's what I now have on on Saturday mornings.

        I miss OneWord, but only in principle. I cannot listen to a book in 62 parts.

          I thought I'd heard most of the hairbrained ideas people could come up with for websites but I've actually never encountered that one

          The mind boggles as to why he would want to do that.

            I hate it, but it can be so useful at times
            So use the XP command line (start, run COMMAND or CMD).

            Or is it a particular shell's functionality you miss?

              Probably.

                Yep, simple things like typing 'ls' instead of 'dir' all the time, but also more useful things like 'grep' and piping commands into each other.

                  Whereas the alien octopeds underfoot will accept what they're given.

                      Yes, but there will always be more to take their place. They can fail many times, you can't fail once.
