I haven't tried it yet, but how do you get it to go right AND left if it only works with the left arrow key?

I only had to hold down the left arrow key, but that was on my work computer. Here at home I can't get it to work (Linux OS).
Upon reading this article, maybe it had to do with which video I was viewing. It needs to be one with the new style navigation bar.

Nope, it must have been a conflict with my system. I just tried it with this video (recommended) and got nothing... well nearly nothing, I thought I saw some dim dots randomly flashing across the screen but that's not a game.

Oh, well I won't bother then. I'm on Linux and I couldn't get that "Pulsate" thing to work properly either. (despite doing everything they said)

Hey, I just got it to work by clicking on the progress slider and then holding down the left arrow. Give it a try.

You press two keys to get it started, and then use the arrow keys as normal to move it about. The snake is white, so choose a video with a dark background.

Maybe it's cos I'm using Opera I've had a lot of grief with websites recently, including this one constantly asking me to continue my registration. I've been registered since bloody 2001!

I got it to work with Opera. And Chrome, Firefox, Safari and um SeaMonkey. And you know what? I'm really crap at Snake in all of them. I blame 2legs.

I didn't realise House Of Fun by Madness was about condoms. It seems so obvious now.

Oddly Christopher I always realised that it was about buying condoms. I still know a few people who disagree with this though .
...and yes. I blame 2legs for this as well.

Have you ever thought that 2legs might be The Stig?

If that's the case, then don't ~even~ go to read this short story (in two parts): A36762159
I'd blame 2legs for it, as well, but I have to take full responsibility for writing it and submitting it to The Post.
Enjoy...but with the lights ON.

Where DOES this fear of spiders come from? They're smaller than us, aren't they? What harm can they do?
Having said that, I do have a fear. I'm scared of heights, and of going downstairs. Mind you, I think it is arguable that falling from a 30 ft scaffolding is certainly more of a threat than a money spider scuttling over your foot. And I have fallen quite badly when going downstairs. (Although that was way back when I was young enough and silly enough to wear really high heels)
