I'm still resolutely fixed-term, unfortunately. However since "rabfriend" has today received a counter-offer from a rival firm, I think I can look forward to a future as a kept man...

[rab] tut tut! It means learning to keep house, y'know...

[rab] This may or may not be relevant, but I've noticed that a few of the games, when you load their full form, tend to slip out of their table after a certain number of moves. This is under IE, of course. e.g. The Furcation Game.

[Projoy] Do you mean it runs over the right-hand side?

Just to let all know - I've started posting some ideas re the Rugby Pilg on the Orange pilg page. For anyone new to all this - the Rugby Pilg is (becoming) an annual event where as many players of these bizzare games as possible congregate at a superb venue at a specially negotiated low price to play silly games live. This year May 27 - all welcome!

[rab] No. The table simply stops after a certain amount of time, and all the remaining text appears underneath it as regular text. I haven't actually looked at the source for more detail than that yet.

There doesn't appear to be anything in the HTML source that does it, AFAICS.

[Projoy] It's possible there's a mismatched quote. But I suspect it's one of IE's idiosyncrasies.

tag, not quote.

It doesn't appear to affect all games in the same way, if that helps. Come to that, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the affected games, if that helps.

Boris is standing for Rector of Edinburgh Uni. Should I vote for him?

[rab] Don't do it - he won't appreciate that it was an ironic gesture.

Oh, vote Boris, he's harmless. And in case it hadn't been realised I'm back, for the moment. How is everyone?

[nights] Hello again!
[rab] Do you think Boris will bother to turn up when needed?

I'd go for John Pilger myself.

I've got a whole two-bedroomed house to myself. It's beautifully quiet. And either some rich college, or maybe the taxpayer, is paying for the heating. Woo.

Good for you, rab. I dont have my central heating on any more, s'too 'xpensive.
Smash Hits is closing down, boo-hoo!

[Smash Hits] I thought it already had. Shows I'm not a 'youth' anymore.

It's been a long time since I participatoried in a good game of MC....or any game of MC for that matter. I recognise some of the names from years gone by (when I was called 'Pave'). Love, death, marriage and pregnancy (not me - the wife) have kept me from the game, but I'm older, wiser and back...apart from the wiser bit.
