Websites and other things

You may have noticed we’ve changed our look. It has not caused just as much controversy as the BBC online redesign has though!

Complaints of it being fussy and chaotic are in The Reporter’s own opinion rather fussy themselves. (This from someone who fussed over the right shade of blue for the header and the links [...]

Breaking and Entering

So instead of being big and brave I called the police. Except that was almost five hours ago and they have not called round yet. I was told not to touch anything so I haven’t lifted up all the broken china, but I have noticed that there are at least two cameras, two lenses, one [...]

Parking tickets…

If your street was full of road works and the parking places were at a premium, and if there was a long empty stretch to the rear of the car, and if you were in a hurry, and if you really could hardly see the yellow line……then would this be an acceptable way to park [...]

Our look

What do you think? Should [...]

Thursday

I hope it will be a good opportunity to meet people who write, people who read, people who take photos and people who know where to get [...]

Hard work for a Monday…

This uses something called Stacks on Rapidweaver – must be the easiest route to getting round the complications of [...]
