Why does this remind me of Breakfast TV ?

This is from the horrible purple 1998 look.
It would be good if each ITV station did their own breakkie programme, instead of one national one.
I know the first ever UK breakfast programme was YTV's Good Morning Calendar, but that didn't last long.
It would be so much better if they did.. aww nevermind eh!

And whilst we are in the picture of posting pictures... I know the picture is big but I had a sudden burst of inspiration and came up with this :

Rather large I know, but that is my resolution and I couldn't be bothered to change it.
Does it look familiar and don't anyone talk about the Start menu and the taskbar on my Windows 98.

try downloading TClock, you can customise the strip on the start menu and you can make the task bar buttons flat instead of 3d

Doesn't the text look like Sky News astons (especially in the programme tray at the top)!

Err.. the taskbar buttons are supposed to be 3d, that is the point.
I have loads of different designs for my OS, including ones to remove the task bar and icons totally, just by clicking a button.
What I meant was about the wallpaper!
There could be loads of these created from the various 2's.
And they look quite classy too.
The text is in the same font as the Sky News astons, Myriad Roman.
I didn't do that on purpose though... coincidence!

Yeah, cool - thought I was going mad about the font...

There could be loads of 2's as wallpapers - maybe someone could tile loads of different ones.

You know some people would call us very sad!! Smile

Nah never Smile

Ohh, just heard something nice on FiveLive.
'This is the BBC, it's midnight' - music plays.

Not as good as the Up all Night intro.... 'Live from the BBC's News Centre this is Up all Night, and i'm Eric Dixon.......(long pause until drum played in background music)..... Tonight on Up All Night'

I like Up All Night and the presentation style at the top of the hour... Rhod Sharp also does a similar thing to Eric Dixon.

Rhod is really good, he created Up all Night.
SN
Steve Naylor
He did - and should be on more! Five Live is a cool station and I've been to their studios as well (I'm really sad - I've been to loads of places most people would deem dull!!)
