    Extensively re-working the markup and styling of the forum, as it's quite obvious that vBulletin's original code is never, ever going to work correctly on IE6/7

    First half of the weekend done. Took MrsB down to That London to see the new impressionist stuff at the National Gallery as well as see Les Mis last night and the Chelsea flower show today.

    Waiting to see what the weather does tomorrow and whether the sniffles MrsB has acquired turn into something nasty or not.

    I'm waiting for my new computer to arrive and then playing with that tomorrow. Sunday & Monday if it's nice I'm working on playing with the classic cars.

    I am just relaxing over the weekend....... and then popping off to Lisbon immediately after......

    When I say relaxing... I am actually currently fretting and doing a headless chicken act..... because my Passport is somewhere in the bowels of the Saudi Embassy waiting for a Visa Stamp....... and (obviously) I need it to get to Portugal..... and even if/when the Agent* gets the Passport there is the little issue of getting it to me (with or without Saudi Visa) with it being the weekend et al....... I have visions of a Motor Cycle Courier spread across the A1 with my Passport soaked in petrol and a small flame licking over the tarmac towards it!!!!!

    Anyone fancy doing me a favour and popping to the Saudi Visa Section......

    *NB Not Agent in the Pimp sense obviously - I wouldn't trust a Pimp with my lose change let alone my passport.....
    <thinks> Mmmmmmmm but I've handed it over to a faceless jobsworth in an A-rab embassy......</t>

    Not quite as next Thursday is a bank holiday here: Fronleichnam which is a bummer for me as I have to go home from Münster, sit around for a day losing an honest days wage and then drive up to Köln to do a days work. Actually this time I might say bugger that (I had to do it a couple of weeks ago) and take a 'brückentag) and have a couple of days away with Frau D.
