Great news! The Powers That Be have caved in and the clock is now right! Fluff Power incarnate. I'm so proud of youse. Thank you. I hadn't even seen this until now! The clock is odd - (A lemon I reckon) There are three different settings to make it go right - One is a box in the Admin Settings saying whether you're on "Daylight Saving Time" or not, the other is the one in your own "Modify Profile" settings and the last one - which was the one that finally got it right is the clock image's own code in the Headers and Footers section. It's never the same one that needs adjusting. Rather like your landing light switches at the top and the bottom of the stairs and trying to make them go the same way on and off at the same time. |

I've voted for grapefruit please. Can anyone explain the reason that during the 70s and 80s we used to eat a grapefruit half with a glacé cherry on top? What was the point of the glacé cherry???  It was an indication of which class you were. We bought tinned grapefruit. |

With glacé cherries already in the tin or what? I still put a glacé cherry on top of a banana split, mind. Again, it adds nothing to it but it's tradition, like. I have solved the clock debate! It's a banana. Doh!  |

It's a banana. Doh! I refuse to buy glace cherries. I used to buy them, but whenever I went to use them, the tub would be empty. Apparently, Mr. E. would sneak into the larder after I'd gone to bed and eat them. He's really just like a big kid. |

Note that neither brand of Irish banana is showing the correct time, which should be 25-12-0000 and 12-07-1690 respectively.

Yes, I'm sure I heard the other day that this year it was Wayne Rooney.

Oh I dare say, Everso; there are lots of different societies taking part. One of them - Cliffe - always burns the Pope I believe. Not the current one, though; the one that was around 400 odd years ago.
One year Ian Paisley and the Pope both went up in smoke.

And how wonderful that we live in a society where we can do this.
Or do we? Do we have the freedom to "burn" anyone?
I don't think so!

And how would they stop you? Oh. I just thought of a dangerous subject. Beginning with M. Is that the one you're thinking of? [No, not Maggie. That should have happened decades ago. Too late now. Such a suggestion once got me banned from the BBC boards, again.] |
