  1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-15933599 - apparently the traffic jams spread a long way. Love it!

      Loved the R4 listeners comment - "No one was hurt, but the lorry was toast" :)

  2. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4470973066358&set=a.3929728175574.151619.1650818907&type=1 shows how low and nasty some people actually are. Just because there are others that behave that way doesn't make it appropriate. I can take a joke as much as anyone, from friends or even at myself but I do draw the line at snide people taking pops.

      Can we all go and write rude things about the insane amount of static grass he used on his layout? Please? Awww, go on.

      It seems he's deleted it now; never mind there's always screenshots if he carries on playing silly games.

  3. Listen please, the old software had security vulnerabilities and needed updating to this version. Work has been done to make it more like the old version than the out of the box version. I'm getting a bit fed up with some people criticising when they don't consider these aspects or read any of the relevant posts about what's going on. Many people have shown a lot of understanding but some just want to shout an opinion. Frankly, that doesn't help one scrap.

      As a former computer graphics business owner who worked on a wide range of printed and web-based projects for many years, I can assure everyone that no-one will ever set about a project of this nature for the fun of it. This level of project is never undertaken lightly.

      It involves a lot of hard work and a deal of frustration, sometimes stumbles a little on problems that are almost impossible to anticipate and is rarely to everyone's liking on Day One.

      Stick with it for a while, make a bit of an effort to learn how it works and then, if you feel strongly about an existing feature or, would like to see a feature added, try making some constructive suggestions. There is a thread for this.

      Can you pin this comment? lol

       

      From some of the comments, it also looks like they think you wrote the software yourself and deliberately made the changes to pi$$ people off!

      Please say you didn't just ask that?

      It was a tragic event when 96 Liverpool fans where killed at Hillsborough stadium. The police forged an accidental death verdict and it has now been over turned.

      R.I.P

      N15class

      I am very sorry for not knowing what Hillsborough is, I have no interest at all in football, so how would I know it was a football ground? I could well of been working away at that time so of mist the main item of news.

      I feel sorry for the victims and their families.

      Hope it gets a better reception than Oxford's open wagon, which apparently is not correct for any era.(not being all things to all men??)
