Nice driving, Herr Clauss iCab will long remain one of my favourite browsers. I particularly appreciate the host of printing options when I'm compiling my 'morning newspaper', where you can get exactly what you want to suit the site and save on both ink and paper. Alexander Clauss is among those tremendous developers who reply swiftly and helpfully to e-mails too. Not that I've ever bothered him about preferences it took me a while to grasp! His latest approach to these is yet another good idea. Until this week, they looked like this: This is what Alexander's done now: Rock on, taxi! 8:19:24 PM  link   your views? [] Lapins blancs Me, superstitious? I do reach for wood every time somebody says what a quiet day it is for "hard news". It's nice to concentrate on a feature story or two for a change. But with each new month comes the Kiss Problem. Who will it be? See, if you wake up on your own and you've kept a childhood habit or two, there must be "a pinch 'n a punch on the first of the month" and saying "white rabbits" to the first person of the opposite sex you speak to on that day. Followed by the kiss. Maybe that's my particular refinement over the decades. But without it I feel the next few weeks will be bad ones. This morning I was fortunate. I nearly went without a sandwich, reluctant to leap the counter at the street stall to plant a pecker on the unsuspecting owner, but her husband came forward at the last instant to serve me. I didn't have to open my trap until I reached the office, escaped with a no more than a nod to the uniformed watchwoman in the entrance hall, and found a British workmate for victim. And she even knew the tradition. I well remember the last difficult time, but I'm reluctant to tell all. It involved a slightly scratched cyclist, an irate car driver, yours truly ... and that policewoman. 6:57:11 PM  link   your views? []
