   It's quite pretty in blue (if illegible).

   Still much nicer in normal colours. Thanks Mozilla!

   Is this in honour of the probable demise of the takeover by Thaksin Shinawatra (known locally as Frank) of Manchester City?

   The poor man (other adjectives are available) appears to have had his assets frozen and it is now totally unclear whether the takeover will happen. It is also totally unclear whether this is a dreadfull or fantastic thing and it is totally unclear who will lead City into the transfer window and how they will keep the club in the Premiership next season.

    From context, I'm asuming the colour scheme's gone wonky for people browsing with MSIE. Looks fine on Safari (Mac). For those unfortunates stuck with Microsoft...

    Mah colour scheme's wonky,
    Ah cain't read the Blog.

    Re:- SSC In defense of MSIE - perhaps if the coding of the blog didn't have an error in the first place then all would be ok? - We were told it was an error last time - a misplaced cooma I believe.

    Re: BigSister -

    You had a group hug from us all - now come on - snap out of it!

    If you do not have the tool-bar for the edit option (I do not in my IE page) Ctrl+A does the same thing. This is the first time that I have got to see the Firefox effect since I installed it. Yippeeee!

    Jonnie, wonderful though a group hug may be, it cannot ever compare to a huggis from Eddie.

    Sorry. They are not the same beast.

    It was a human error, probably when the strapline was changed.
    an html command was left incomplete:

    Jason @ 9 - I'm trying, but I just can't make out the tone of your comment. Is it "disinterested observation"? Or "mildly smug smirk"? Since the coding problem has been fixed, the only problem some of us are having interacting with the frog stems from the build up of tears on the keyboard...

    Incidentally, for browsing pleasure, I suggest Firefox with the Noia 2 theme. It has a wibbly-wobbly feel and makes reverting to IE very grim.

    Look guys and girls, I visit this blog everyday, and even comment if I can get away with it. Now, being among such world-wise and intelligent people could I suggest cutting the bull and trivia, get serious for a year or two, slap the political classes about the face and cooperate to sort out the mess this self-indulgent, consuming with no end, world social order? It's up to us; get active and redirect some of that energy spent as if we're all retired and just observers. We can do it, boys and girls!!!

    Or perhaps I mean:

    And why is it that people who are sure that it would be scare me more than those who don't know?

    Some people are so easy to offend.

    All i ask is not to confuse bashing a keyboard whilst listening to the radio as our role in running our own affairs. It is not enough to be critical, we all must be active. We have to gather together; it means wearing out the shoe leather. That is not a megalomanic desire to be a "god". I have many faults but that is not one of them.
    We must cooperate or we are stuck with the state machine and will pass it on to our grandchildren. We are staggering blindly into a Police State. A few dozen corporations can have more effect on our lives than anything we've ever voted for. We slaughter thousands and call it freedom. We can have a free association of people, we have the technology!!! Our lives belong to us!!

    ps- I am in no way a youth!!! Thanks for the speeches Fifi!

Then they came for the Trade-Unionists, and I did nothing because I was not a Trade-Unionist. And then they came for me, but there was no one left to help me".
