For some reason, this image won't work! I don't think it's forbidden url, and it didn't time out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/gallerytwo/images/bbc2logo.gifhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/gallerytwo/images/bbc2logo.gif Bad uploading on the BBC's part? Apparantly it's HTTP, not the GIF the url claims! Also, a lot of them aren't idents like the site says, but are really stings. Note the lack of the wording! Here's just one of them - spaghetwo.

I stand corrected. But what does 'pedantic' mean?

pedantic adjective DISAPPROVING

'They were being unnecessarily pedantic (=giving too much attention to formal rules or small details) by insisting that Berry himself, and not his wife, should have made the announcement.'

Which dictionary is responsible for giving the bloke a name like that? (Or is it Barry, which is equally terrible!) Smile

Thanks for that. Hmm. Berry is a wierd name, but if they say it's legit, it must be legit!
