Despite a very specific request to the engineers on one of our servers An incorrect Reverse DNS address has got into the system. I am attempting to get this rectified. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Removed and apologised for. Don't honestly think this would have nobbled us, the routing is one of the most complex areas of the net. I have yet another big book on order on the subject. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

A trash can in Britain, particularly England, is called a "wagger pagger bagger," I've heard.

Yes, I love British fags...

...actually, this sort of thing interests me because I'm developing a comic book with a British character. I've only ever picked up British slang from pop culture, I should try some more in-depth research...

Well you can run it past us here. There is so much you might otherwise be misinformed on. I was reading Bill Bryson the other day and he went through some American written guides on touring England which gave some excruciatingly inaccurate tips.
It was a bit like the Monty Python Hungarian phrase book sketch

tibbittz - we could have some real fun with this slang lark. anything you want to know just ask. my daughter was watching spongebob squarepants the other day when he said he had a 'sweaty fanny' (sorry if that's not acceptable, edit away mods) now that has a completely different meaning over here! my daughter just gaped at the tv
