oh i like men and motors it's a great channel!!!

The shift key is the one over to the left of your keyboard with an upward pointing arrow on it. There's another one just below the return key, to the right of the alphabetic section.

Just thought I'd let you know, as you seem to have mislaid it.


Erm, if he doesn't know where the shift key is, how did he get those exclamation marks? On my keyboard I need to press SHIFT-1 to get an exclamation mark. Like this! Try it some day - it might cheer you up, you grumpy old so and so.


Well if he can use the SHIFT key to type an exclamation mark, why the bloody hell doesn't he use it to type capital letters.

Why does it matter so much?
He might have made a mistake.

Moving on, DigitalSpy reports that ITV4 wont be an all day channel, and will be working the same way that BBC Three works with CBBC, yes, that's right, they are launching a kids channel:

ITV is planning to launch its own kids station this Autumn after talks over a joint venture with Nickelodeon fell through.

Earlier this year the broadcasters confirmed that the project - which had the working title 'INK' (ITV Nickelodeon Kids) - was in development but that "detailed legal negotations" were slowing things down.

"We just got to the point of thinking that it was more sustainable for us to do it ourselves," a 'senior' ITV source told Broadcast this week. "The deal fizzled out over a period of time. We tried to make [the deal] work and it wasn't for the want of trying - but it was a difficult one."

The ITV kids channel will launch towards the end of the year, broadcasting during the daytime hours of new male-skewed station ITV4.

Media Guardian contradicts the above..
Also, viewers will be able to download ITV programmes from this autumn, (any takers?).
