Thursday, 8th September 2005 by Alex

Arrrgggh! Haven’t these drivers noticed they’re about to be vaporised by some giant glowing-green alien writing?!

Oh dear… Did I just mention aliens? Whoops.

Alien Writing

Thanks to David for alerting us to the impending invasion.

    Another (unrelated) thing I just noticed, is there something going on with the rss comments feed? My above comment doens’t show up in the feed (not that it was an important comment or anything, but I wonder if other comments aren’t making it to the feed?)

    Thanks gimpsta, Alex is on holiday for the next week but rather then let him look like an idiot for all that time I’ve corrected the post ;-)

    Regarding the comments rss I’ve deleted the cache and it seems to be OK now. Cheers!
