Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low

At the weekend, I spent an entertaining while trundling round in the Next clearance store. It has a very jumble-sale atmosphere to it with clothes jammed any old how onto hangers and tables, but makes up for it by being really quite cheap. My star purchase was a pair of trousers for £3 - despite not being able to try them on, I succeeded in finding a pair that fits. The major disadvantage seems to be some very ill-designed pockets which, when I sit down, spit their contents all over the floor. Apart from that, I like them. However, they seem to be attracting criticism everywhere I go.

Incidentally, has anyone else been having a lot of problems recently with getting a "zero-sized reply" error message when posting a comment ? This is if posting via the web rather than your mail client; I think I've only seen it since I started using Firefox.

I was considering that it might be something to do with cookies - Firefox seems to go barking mad when it has a lot of cookies to deal with (and indeed seems to stop handling them at all when it gets up to 300). Has anyone got any advice on this issue anyway, regardless of whether it's relevant ? Yes, I'm trying to limit who can set cookies, but it still seems like a bit of a design flaw in Firefox to me.

Missing the point as it goes over our heads

One day last week I accidentally went to focus (a rather inferior DIY store) with Sysadmins #1 and #2. It wasn't my fault, I thought we were going somewhere else.

I picked up a paint colour chart. No, I'm not planning on decorating my room. I was, however, amazed.
