 I've been having a spot of bother with some of my pages. Being a relative novice when it comes to Web design, I hadn't accounted for people viewing the site with whopping great text sizes. It means that the graphics may look a little disjointed on occasion. I've just uploaded a new version of the site and hope that this will be less of a problem. Eventually I'll get around to ironing out all of these little bugs.

 Can you remember any of these ads? No, me neither. Surely Kylies' recent ad promoting Agent Provocateur should get a mention? Pearls on screen The ones I do remember are Holsten Pils, Benson and Hedges, Heineken and Mercedes... err, thats quite a few I do remember then. Pa-pah pa-pah pa-pah pa-pah pa-pa-pa...
You can't mention Pearl and Dean and NOT do the theme tune.

Is it real? 'Oldest sculpture' found in Morocco. It seems to turn history on its head if it is. However it looks like it is the result of natural weathering. Spooky though.

The pics of this incident are rather scary if you are a nervous traveller. By the look of the windscreen the pilots landed using just their instruments. Either that or the chief steward got out on the wing and radioed instructions to the pilot. Plane punctured by hailstones in freak storm

This looked like one of those fun little news stories about mad academical research.
