Five Questions, and Five Questions Only

 

I’ve got a few questions that have been in my mind for the last few days, which I thought I’d share with you guys….

1. What do you prefer links to be like? Links to open in a new window, or links to open in the same window?

2. How do you reset the default size of windows in Firefox? I can’t comment on blogger blogs with pop up comment boxes because the new boxes are tiny.

3. Wasn’t last night’s Top Gear both amazing and disturbing that there are so morally stubborn bigoted people living in a developed nation?

4. Can you still get BBQ Rib Walkers Crisps anymore? The food equivalent of multiple orgasms seems to be missing from my local shop.

5. Is it wrong to have WWE Wrestler Themes (particularly Edge’s) on your MP3 Player?

Yes, it’s lazy blogging. I think I’m getting man flu though, so – whilst I’ll soldier on with my nose resembling Mount Vesnottiness – I can’t expected to be hugely creative. Paragraph deleted because people think I’m being a bit pathetic.

UPDATE: For those who haven’t seen it (and for those who have) here’s the best bit from last night’s Top Gear episode:

    Man Flu!?!?

    Once again:
    “Seriously, all of us probably have different levels of pain tolerances (I for one think I’m very high”

  2. Celeste says:

    You’re sick again?!

    So what use is fresh air and fields in Wales then?!

  3. Rick says:

    Your Blog is still fucked in internet explorer. The two side columns appear at the bottom of the page on the main page, but return to their normal position when I go to leave a reply.

    Top Gear last night was AMAZING!!! When they where in the garage and the car broke down, I was laughing my head off lmao.

    I prefer windows (in ff) to open in the same window but in new tabs.

    Forgive me if i’m not the first person to say this, but has anyone else noticed that your blog when viewed in RSS by sage has the intriguing header

    flangracneig pgoramian

    at the top of each post. Weird but true. Have I come
    down with some odd but amusing virus, or have you?

    I know, I can’t stand Jeremy Clarkson either.

  7. Han says:

    b – its to stop people nicking your posts.

    I have wwe themes on my mp3 player.
    I say same window but I always apple click to get it to open in a new tab.

  8. Guy says:

    You have no tolerance to pain dude and you’ll go no sympathy from me as you were playing golf (questionably) in the rain!!!!

    Top gear is quite possibly the best thing on tv!

    Man Flu is a mythical state of mind! If you have the sniffles go take some Lemsip and stfu :P you give man a bad name!!

  9. Ryan says:

    I missed Top Gear last night and everyone is talking about it… stop ruining it for me, i’m trying to wait for the repeat. It sounds like it was a good one

    I would have said something about the flangracneig pgoramian thing in Sage earlier, but I thought that it was a deliberate thing. Like a subliminal message or a secret password. It’s been like that since you went to WordPress.

    With Firefox, it doesn’t matter if the links open in a new window or the same window, a middle click puts them in a new tab. Much more practical.

    I haven’t found small text boxes to be much of a problem but an extension like Resizeable Text area might help. Although that depends on the nature of the box.

    WWE Wrestling is wrong, full stop. Unless you are 7 years old. Never mind mp3 player themes, that’s just even more wrong.

  11. Sibz says:

    I personally like the same window. I pretty much always right click then say “open new window” if i’m still reading the current page. annoys me when i do that and it doesnt work properly (eg javascript stuff) because its already going to be in a new window

  12. Debbie says:

    Yeah I have to say I prefer a new tab in FF.

    Top gear had me laughing like I haven’t laughed in a long time. Like you said it’s really scary that places are still that hateful, you have to admire them for doing that. I don’t think hampster would have been so lucky as he was with his crash had the rednecks got hold of him.

    It looks like they are discontinuing the BBQ walkers around the country :(

  13. Manuel says:

    I like my links to pop up in the same window. Don’t like having a bunch of windows opem.

    I don’t know what Top Gear is.

    I have many WWE themes on my MP3 player. From Hogan to Brock Lesnar. Love them! Have a 3 CD set of these.

  14. Locksley says:

    I have wrestler themes on my MP3 player too. One of them is Edge’s.

  15. nAL says:

    A three CD set of WWE themes? That is just the most awesome thing I ever heard! Do you buy it off a home shopping channel? If you are one of the first 20 callers, do you get a set of ginzu steak knives free?

    Rhys, links to open in a different window.
    And get better soon!

  16. Merrick says:

    You’re right; the stuff they showed in that episode of Top Gear was horrible. America is stupid and inbred, I admit it. But they were driving through the deepest of the deep south, and that is a scary, scary place. I would never drive through places like that, let alone risk lynching by covering my car in anti-hick slogans. Those men were very brave indeed! But yes, I concede, America is stupid. *sigh*
