(Dan) There was a (maybe apocryphal) example of that at a level crossing in Yorkshire where it said "Wait while red light shows" in case there's another train coming in the opposite direction. But there were cases where motorists stopped at a green light because colloquially the sign means "Wait until the red light shows". There are so many ways of rephrasing it but they missed them all.

[rab] I had exactly the same reaction when I last went through there.

Foul weather here last night, our coastal roads were closed because of the high tide overspill during the rush hour, resulting chaos. Very windy and torrential rain at times. So much for BST!

(Softers) I see you've still got a nice bracing force 6-7 with a few hail showers. It'll calm down pretty soon, though. And don't forget that but for the clocks you'd have got them an hour earlier. Not everything is bad.

So has everyone finished their chocolate stash? The windy miller and I have resorted to buying the half-price leftover Easter Eggs in the supermarket - cappucino flavoured mini-eggs for me.
Any plans for the weekend? We'll go out to Willemstad (look it up on google maps - the town's fortifications are shaped like Lisa Simpson's hair) for coffee and appeltaart tonight, and the windy miller will have a trappist beer or two. Other than that... I have no idea.

I had a Lindt mini egg. As I've all but wiped saturated fat out of my diet since about a month ago, the pleasure of eating it was overwhelmed by the disappointment that I had given in and eaten it. I'm enjoying getting into the jeans that I kept for 2 years in the hope that I'd fit into them again some day though.

[Phil] Now I feel fat and guilty. Cheers. ;o)

(pen) If anything loosens the tongue......

[Rosie] I imagine the brewers' taste testing sessions were conducted behind locked doors, and not everything was written down...

[pen] Soz, that wasn't my intention :-(

Hey guys, don't mean to butt in, or anything, but how do you do all the html thingies for the posts? I can do bold, italics and line spaces, but how do you do the other things. Please can someone help?

[FGZstar] Go to main menu page - bottom right you'll see 'settings - info' - press info :)

(FGZstar) Unfortunately, "info" links to a website (Dr Qu+xum, a former Morniverser) that is no longer there. Here are a few you might like:
hr = a page-wide grey underline
sup = superscript, sub = subscript
p = paragraph (adds an extra line space)
font size="x" where x can go from -2 to +2.
strike = a line through the text
href="url"> any message</a> for an external link.
There is loads more which you can Google. Go for the simplest stuff or you'll end up learning the entirety of Hungarian literature when all you want is to ask for the loo.

Before "href" insert <a

As an alternative to monkeying with the font size, you can use <small> </small> and <big> </big> tags.

I have a saved copy of DrQu+xum's helpful primer stashed away somewhere. I'll dig it out and make it available online again.

Might be simplest to host it here if you find it. Whatever, I'll update the link if the source material can be tracked down.

It's at http://www.pitt.edu/~greg4/basichtml.html

Okay, here goes!

fraser+info²=success!

Thanks, guys! I seem to be cured of my affliction!

(INJ) Bugger me, it's still there. Why couldn't I get it earlier?

[FGZstar] Curiously enough - I had a hunch you might demonstrate your new found prowess. All power to you :)

Okay, now that I have the basics, I would like some direction in terms of photos. Can i put in the file ref of my memory card or temp storage device and it will upload, or do I need to keep the file in permanent storage on the computer?

[FGZstar] There's no uploading to this site, and unless your computer is running a web server and is online all the time, a picture stored on it won't be visible anywhere else. You would need to upload the picture to somewhere of your own on the web, and link to it from here.

There are sites like Photobucket that will allow you to do that. (Although I think that one's owned by Rupert Murdoch, so you may have philosophical objections to using it). ImageShack is another.

(Raak, rab) Can I do that with Flickr? My God, you're all doomed.

If it's on Flickr, or Zooomr, or anywhere else, you can link it here. Whether you should...

[Raak] Nice panoramic - but a bit sticky-outy to the right. Where be it?

(Chalky) Click on it and you'll find it's probably not far from Naarj.

[Chalky] The view from my office window (carefully zoomed and cropped to avoid the concrete). Doesn't stick out on my screen. :-)

One day, I'll put up a pic from my office window - downtown Rotterdam, skyscrapers, splendid bridges and all. One the other hand, from my home office (the spare room) I can see the sails of a windmill, a thatched barn, and the village hall. And a load of very, very ordinary houses, all very close together.

What about Facebook? I've got some pretty panoramics pics i've taken over my travels, I'll put some up soon, or I'll link to my facebook for any other FB members out there

Now the challenge: Name that location

[FGZ*] Bryce3D?

The shape of the bay looks a bit like Rio.
