So the deed is done. Once more congratulations GDZ and Mrs GDZ

Yay! We have a Mrs. GDZ.

* raises another to Phil - Happy Birthday
This small is good for one use a month. Press the green button on the side and you'll be instantly transported to your favourite eatery. Unfortunately, they haven't worked out how to return you to your own house yet
And, for Bob's sake, don't touch the orange button.

Congratulations to the Zomnkers indeed *places Danish marinated herring on the table*

Back from a scouting weekend and it must have been a good one: I miss something like 5 hours of sleep, I've got a little too much sun in my face, my legs ache from running around madly playing British Bulldog twice today and I've got a few bruises on my shins that I only found when the hot shower reached them...

As someone said late Friday night when we were struggling to put up a full size military (30 person) tent in almost darkness so as to prepare the "fugitive camp" the story called for for the first nights sleep: How are other people spending a Friday night

Congratulation GDZ on your wedding and I hope that the honeymoon will go very well.

Happy Birthday Phil, and many happy solar returns.

Afternoon all

Happy B'day, Phil

Happy birthday, Phil.

Santra, we went to visit the 'Black Castle' guinness records attempt in Passau, in September 2000.

I think that was the last time I spent a night in a tent. We very nearly froze, the night temperatures were extremely low, although we had summer temperatures during the days that weekend.

Happy birthday, Phil!

It looks like the "simple site refresh" will retire all previous skins. . I only care about Goo myself, but is it really necessary to dump everything?

"Save the Skins" campaign, anyone?

With the hideous skins that are the alternative, I don't know if I can stick around if they get rid of Goo.

Ooh, Phil's birthday! Happy birthday, Phil!

*Carries large chiller dish of home-made tablet icecream through to the terrace.*

What will the skin options be? Will we be kicked out of using frames like I've been accustomed to using for the past 10 years? Will we be forced to use brunel??

Even Brunel will be retired. Which is rather fortunate, in my opinion.

For more information, see the Talking Point link on the Front Page.

great. It's going to look like every other BBC site, which is to say, like every other online 'newspaper' site - corporate and dull. There's a reason I don't have BBC or CNN as my homepage, people...

*throws rice as high as possible into the air in an attempt to hit GDZ's Honeymoon flight. I'm going under the assumption that it's the big thing flying overhead with empty soda cans trailing from it, and "just married" written in soap across the wings*

I can't believe they'd get rid of Goo! No wonder getting the smileys to work wasn't a "priority." Geezus. Well, it was a good 10+ years....

Happy Wedding Zomkers!

Oooh, cake and champers, don't mind if I do!

Now, who had a question about The Stretcher? I can't quite believe I'm in the last 6, but it's been a long contest and a few people had to drop out along the way, sadly. So my longevity is more to do with stamina rather than any writing ability!

Eurovision was great, but the A41157911 North West 200 was very disappointing, especially since it was its 80th anniversary, but out of 7 races, 2 were cancelled, 4 had to restart due to red flags because of either accident or rain

I'll do some scribing if you twist my arm.

Happy Birthday Phil! One ticket, good for a day of perfect health, blue skies, and a soft summer breeze!
