If your tiny and rather useless brain managed to realise this was in the wrong forum in time to post a second post of apology, why the <expletive deleted> did you actually MAKE that second post and not simply DELETE the first one?

I didn't care this was in the wrong forum. I made the second post by accident due to a 'Server busy' message. Forbid, I am now unable to delete.
So glad you didn't leave us during the forum breakdown Nick.

It's a shame really, but the site is rather redundant now. The only sub-site which was maintained properly and used a lot was the Doctor Who one, but that has made it into it's own section now. Let us hope some of the historical sections like the one on Blake's 7 don't dissepear though.

I wasn't wittering at you, Mr Nokky.
I was wittering at that prat, Mr Cyclone, who could have deleted the first post in the thread and thus the thread itself.

Who the bananas is "Sir Sugar"? Is it a horse?
If the entity to which you are referring is a certain chap at the top of Amstrad, then you should know that he is referred to as "Sir Alan". Protocol differs slightly for those who have been honoured with the prefix of "Sir" upon their good names:
> Alan Sugar becomes Sir Alan Sugar, and is referred to as "Sir Alan"
A Lord on the other hand follows a different convention:
> James Hutton becomes Lord James Hutton (or more accurately: "James, Lord Hutton", though this is generally viewed as an archaism), and is referred to as "Lord Hutton".
Things get even more exciting when you introduce military ranks into the equation, such as "Admiral Sir Iain Maclean" - at which point, it's generally easier to shout "OI, WANKËR" at the distinguished gentleman whose attention you are seeking.
However, if you were actually referring to a horse or buffalo, then ignore everything I've just said.
I realise, of course, that with the exception of the tenuous link through Lord Hutton, none of this has anything to do with TV at all, but I couldn't possibly live with myself if I'd allowed such an infraction to pass uncorrected. I have issues.

Umm, Indeed a shame, But I suppose it it has such a limited "following" then why waste the ever so valuable license fee on it.
