    Not quite, but you're first. So you get your thanks. Treasure it. It's yours but treat it with respect.

    Re: All the leaves are brown...

    Does anyone find it interesting that, in Firefox, the shortcut to make a backup of your bookmarks is Alt+I+E? Sorry to be cynical, but it's almost as an invisible voice is saying:
    -> "When Firefox crashes and you lose your bookmarks, there will always be MSIE to come back to".

    No. There will be Opera, Chrome or Safari (in that order), but not "IE".

    This must be my most stupid post ever. (And that's saying something.)

    Oh the irony

    And with regard to your first point, no, it's just a consequence of tabbed browsing

    "That's the last time I'm booking Wales for my summer holidays"?

    EDIT: p.s. it's technically "and the sky is grey", as the line is echoed before you get to "I went for a walk"... </pedant>

    It depends, with Wales, if you happened to be in a certain part of Bangor, North Wales, this weekend just gone. (I wasn't. ) That would have been quite a good holiday...

    A friend of mine's last name is Gray (or is it Grey!? Ahh!!), so I can never remember which spelilng is which.
