      I wish I had 7 hours to waste in such a way!

  2. has just had a monumentally ignorant and rude email. From a senior scientist working for Camridge Uni with a PhD who seems to have trouble with a basic registration process. He won't need a mass spectrometer to work out he won't be here long.

      I'm surprised that he's still on here, after this welcome. But do we want him?

      People have condemned the bloke as if they have read his email. Have they and where is it?

  3. has just installed another font available in the drop down list of fonts when you're posting. It's called 'Invisible' and its just below 'Verdana' in the list.

      It's amazing what you don't notice till you're told... Looks good though - and I'm liking the column format for the sub-forums!

      Ditto - the journey down will be fine at 0530.... not sure about the one back with all the weekend only muppetts. I think the M5/A303 could be 'interesting'....

  7. has just worked out that in this and the previous version of the site we have passed the 1,000,000 posts mark a while ago. No wonder I can't find stuff.

      Southampton Xmas market has an Airstream trailer selling mulled Burrow Hill cider, just the thing when shopping.

  17. I can only apologise for RMweb being offline around 12.20 - 14.00 today; the heavy loading caused a memory issue. As I was stuck at the NEC I was reliant on Dediserve bailing us out which they ably did!

  20. I knelt at my bedside last night and prayed to the good Lord that Monday should be free of knobs. That didn't work - I've just had to deal with someone who thinks that all of the site's facilities should be accessible to them even though they don't want to join RMweb as they prefer to spend their precious time modelling. Same s**t, different day then. ;)

      Apparently I didn't get through to higher authorities last night. My call was diverted to Rent-a-Cock who have amply provided their resources today; it's all been a terrible mix up.

  22. I see several doom-mongers and corporate/character assassins that sprung up on other sites during the week still seem to be able to compartmentalise their consciences sufficiently to continue posting/reading here.
