Hi Nick,

please no offense, apologies for the teasing about the look and feel in IE6.

I am sure you have worked hard on these project inside the defined goals as laid out by the PM and achieved the priorities.

Please take no offense at anything I am saying about this.

If you want a laugh, go on the 'What a Mess'¨thread and look at the picture of it in IE6, it does look funny.

All in good spirit.

Milan.

What an arse licker!

atw must be getting jealous - you're normally cleaning his hole whenever he posts a 'ska news' thread.

Fair enough, seeing as we’re all too thick to be pwogwammers but we have to make a living somehow.
