(being invented rhyming slang). Opera has two modes - one is author mode, which is its standard thing, and it has user mode, in which exist various options like "Emulate text browser", "ignore frames", and "Accessibility layout". It's a rather nice browser actually, and more compatible than Mozilla has a habit of being with things like java.

[GIII] The thing is, this is actually a bug in the browser, and therefore something I'd rather not work around. Perhaps you could email the Opera people pointing out this anomoly? This goes for IE users who don't see transparancies on the icons on the grey backgrounds.

Oh right. Fair enough... It's not as if it makes a vast quantity of difference anyway! I'll do that though.

Gosh, isn't it a lovely day today? It is in my neck of the woods. Never knew the largest council estate in Europe could actually look an attractive place to live in, but in this light it does! Miracles do happen.

[Lib] Is that Bestwood or Clifton in Nottingham?

[pen] Neither. Wythenshaw, Manchester (near the airport). local legend has it that it is the biggest in Europe, but no doubt other places will claim that prize too.

It is gorgeous isn't it? I'm off for a walk.

Bloody sunshine . . . straight into my eyes . . .

*places duct-tape across Boolbar's eyes* [Boolbar] There. That better? Mwahahahaah!!!

God Boolbar, I bet you're one of those tossers in the office who whimpers at the tiniest shaft of sunlight and insists we all live in a murky world lit only by VDU! GRR!!!

I'm one of those! Vitamin D? pah!
