I sense the hand of our absent database admin in this! Even I didn't know about it!

I hope it reverts to normal at midday or we'll get the moaners again. One of the reasons I avoided any April Foolery this year was because in recent years we've had a small number who failed to see the funny side.

One became quite abusive and cancelled his sub! Quite bizarre!

It's a JOKE, I didn't pick it and I can't change it.

If it's that annoying, come back after midday when I hope normality will resume and the original fonts will be back.

Not sure if it’s part of the April Fool thing but when I try and download the latest database I get sent to a page from June 2003.

Damn this is a b*gger to read

He organised it weeks ago. I caught him testing it in the early hours and was sworn to secrecy. Rolling Eyes

So it does (did)! It looks as if MaFt was trying shift the blame onto me, but he forgot that I don't have the power to change the website.

@ MaFt: Don't bother to come back from holiday. I'm not sure there'll be a job waiting for you.

Spent time lookin' for a font scale increaser like they have on PDF pages but there wasn't one. Then I scrunched up my tired old eyes and peered real hard. My God, thought I, these posts are mostly drivel, they're not meant to be taken seriously. So I went back to bed to check the date, 'cos I always change my sheets on the 2nd April and I saw it's tomorra, begorra. At that moment all became clear. Don't you enjoy days that turn out good? I luv 'em.

Just for once, I DIDN'T fall for this Cool Took a break at 11.55 for some lunch and to get my eyes working properly again. Then suddenly twigged the date and realised I should be ok afterwards to read all the Censored again and make spome sense of them Evil or Very Mad .

Probably just as well MaFt didn't release an update today - with his sense of ... I'll bet there would have been quite an increase in camera revenue for the jolly old traffic partnerships Shocked .
