Poor show from the cinema for trying to fleece me. I'd use the cinema more if it wasn't for them allowing children to run wild during screenings, allowing constant disruptions to occur without taking any sort of action and hiring projectionists that clearly can't focus or even hit the proper screen area with the image.

I am going to be using my debit card for a large transaction today, so I called my bank to warn them to ensure it didn't get blocked. He removed restrictions on my account for the next 24 hours without any security questions at all  Peter. _________________A Mac user

Did you mean to put IE 8? Because if they've only just updated to 7, that really is a poor show. As for the American keyboard; booooo.

You're joking. Hardly any organisations are going to go to IE8 yet. Most definitely go with the 'if it isn't broke don't fix it', even when in fact it is but it's just hard for them to understand how. I think if you go dig up some stats you'll find a depressingly large portion of the internet is still using IE6... Jon

Rubbish. Jon, I agree that most people aren't going to 8 yet, I know we're not implementing it onto any of our clients just yet. But it surprises me that a school would still be running 6.

What happened to it? Ask my niece, who's upstairs in bed with it, and the other 60 or so children in her school who are currently at home suffering from it. One boy was coughing up blood. For bratty: 8 Freemason Myths.  | | | | Quote: FREEMASON MYTH 1
Masonic Symbols Are Everywhere
It's true that Masonic symbols are anything but lost, said Freemason and historian Jay Kinney, author of the newly released Masonic Myth.
Freemasonry is rich in symbols, and many are ubiquitious—think of the pentagram, or five-pointed star, or the "all-seeing eye" in the Great Seal of the United States.
But most Masonic symbols aren't unique to Freemasonry, Kinney said.
"I view the Masonic use of symbols as a grab bag taken from here, there, and everywhere," he said. "Masonry employs them in its own fashion."
The pentagram, for example, is much older than Freemasonry and acquired its occult overtones only in the 19th and 20th centuries, hundreds of years after the Masons had adopted the symbol.
Likewise, the all-seeing eye saw its way to the Great Seal—and the U.S. dollar bill—by way of artist Pierre Du Simitiere, a non-Mason.
The eye represents divine guidance of the U.S. ship of state, or as Secretary of the U.S. Congress Charles Thompson put it in 1782, it alludes "to the many signal interpositions of providence in favour of the American cause."
There was one known Mason on the committee to design the seal, Benjamin Franklin. His proposed design was eyeless, and rejected. | | | | |

Our school still used IE6 up until summer holidays, when it upgraded to a mixture of IE7 and IE8. They has Firefox installed though, but made it so you can't access anything using it.  I used Portable Opera. Defeated the blocks  _________________ Kimmotalk is where all the cool people hang.

I just had a nice bath, and I feel much better from a personal hygeine perspective, but I feel all weak and shaky again, and slightly ill, so I'm having a lie down, distracting myself with some sudoku. _________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

The PIN for my new company credit card arrived today. This random generated number is exactly the same as the reset code for our office burglar alarm. What are the odds of that?  Still, at least it makes it easy to remember.
