Pound Shop Bargains

Or .net.

[Bob Eager]

Proper nouns are.

[Owain]

It's not /our/ fault you're neurotypical.

[Andy Hall]

Mmmmm.... although I wouldn't describe Cannes as 10% better than Nice

- both are fairly crappy IMO.

[Andy Hall]

That's called marketing affectation.

[ben]

Can't find that in the Oxford or Cambridge?

You must be using the 'Dictionary.com', anyone tell you thats American. :-P

[Dave Plowman (News)]

And Barclay's I-Bank

If I type in my name with a capital letter it refuses it.

[Huge]

I fecking hate most "e-commerce" web sites. Designed by strangly coiffeured black clad weirdos in odd spectacles, they require you fill in huge forms before crashing, or like one the other day, refuse to accept the form because "you must choose a county", even though you have. Or NatWest internet banking which under FireFox (at least they support other browsers) on Solaris incorrectly inserts a pound sign (it appears as a "#") in amount fields, then refuses to accept the amount because it contains an invalid character which *it* *itself* inserted.

Grrrrrrrrr.

[Owain]

Try wikipedia

Anyone tell you that even Americans use apostrophes and question marks? :-PPP

[ben]

Why would I wan't to use an American encyclopedia I'm in England? gawd they can't even get the word 'color'(colour), right.

Pendantic is the nearest thing to occupying small things in small minds.

[Bob Eager]

Are you talking about swinging from the ceiling?

(OK, I know *he* won't get it...)

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

It just tells me that they are staffed by illiterates and so probably would not gain my custom.

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

ITYM affliction ?

[Andy Hall]

Both are appropriate

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

I would agree that Cannes attracts a certain type. I do love old Nice though. I get there whenever I can sneak off for a few days. The flower market is also incredible. I bought some raspberries there and they tasted like raspberries. :-)
