woo-hoo! >grin<

did it really do the date in that screwy European format? or did you just happen to change it.. I'm working on software we sold to a British company, and we keep having to worry about that stuff.. the rest of the world should just do it our way and stop making us change.. month-day-year not day-month-year..

oh wait.. I wonder if this BBS software actually handles it depending on your preferences.. I never looked that closely I guess...

It does work perfectly throughout the site in European format on account of preferences, although I didn't realise that until recently. I've learned to live with both, though.

As for mm-dd-yyyy formats, I've seen places which use yy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss format, (for example, 02-08-29, 20:28.00) and that just looks really weird in books and things. I tend to avoid looking at them, but I've grown to get used to the Euro-Yanko formats.

year first, man.. couldn't get used to that.. the date format isn't killing me too bad actually.. the parts of the system I work on, I coded with the month spelt out, and their willing to except August 24, 2002 instead of 24 August 2002.. I imagine there's enough American influence poisoning the software industry that enough Europeans are used to it by now..

You are too colorful a personality to ignore. So if that happens it means people are trying extra hard to ignore you, which really means you are very noticed! ;D  (That is supposed to be a comfort, BTW, in a left handed sort of way... ::) )

Thank you for forgiving me.  I have since been off having my rant in the height thread, which may destroy a few illusions of my happy demeanour.... ::)

Still the truth hurts.  When I calm I may find something positive to say in response to your 'opposite' dilemna......

For dinner, I had a particularly unsatisfying bowl of potato and leek soup, which was too thick...   I would hasten too add that is probably the healthiest thing I have tried to eat in years..  Then I had a piece of garlic Bread....

So later on I imagine I will literally be that gasbag that you referred too..... :D

No potato and leek soup does not appeal,I could handle the garlic bread though! (perhaps not at this time in the morning)I have a cheese,sweetcorn and mayo sandwich with my name on it only 10 mins to go.........

I shall cautiously go to the height thread then......

I don't know about the "sinkhole" part, Fuss.  What about Crowded House?  Or Natalie Imbruglia?  I'm sure there are others...but that's all who comes to mind right now. :-/

Sorry !  I tend to over-dramatise things when I speak !

There has still been some good stuff, not forgetting to add Hunters and Collectors to the names you mentioned above...

I meant that the 70s and early 80s were the halcyon days for aussie music in my opinion, there isn't the 'overall' quality these days that there was then.....
