So many things go through a mind sometimes it is difficult to give detailed attention to one. This has been the problem in recent days and hence there wasn't a post on this blog.
I am just getting used to my PC now safe from any external dangers i.e. viruses, spyware (I hope). Although am not too impressed that my new 5.1 surround speakers are not working at all. So I have a deaf computer or should it be dumb computer since it cannot communicate to me?!
Should wikipedia change the way it operates? The owner Jimmy Wales is thinking of having senior staff look at modification of entries by new or unknown users. So if I wanted to add something, it might not be accepted straightaway. Problem with this system and its been mentioned before is that staff simply wouldn't be able to cope with trying to look at every change being made. The other idea that came up I think was charging users. Now the thing I love about Wikipedia is that it is excellent as a rudimentary source and it is free. A few fools who vandalize an entry, while it is amusing to see these, should not force Jimmy and his Wikipedia force to work in a different way.
Walked in my town centre the other day and saw a KFC advert on one telephone booth and a 'change 4 life' advert on another telephone booth. Found it pretty amusing to see them both side by side. I have to admit the KFC advert is a little rubbish "top urself up for £1.99", just reading the message I'm sure it strengthened the campaign for euthanasia in this country. The picture changed the meaning of course implying that KFC meal would re-charge our energy like electricity and mobile phones. Still a rubbish advert though!
Finally I have just finished "designing" a flyer for a community fun day. Hopefully this should receive better feedback considering it is only my 3rd attempt to create a flyer. It must be said that though that photoshop and design don't really go hand in hand. And the less said about my creativity when it comes to art the better; art in pictures that is, art in words may be another matter altogether.

Your description of what I want is wildly mistaken. It isn't your fault though: the press has been so colossally wrong about this, that I am more or less in awe of the wrongness.
I apologize if this is the case, I was merely summarising it from what I understood it to be
