# excuse me
am i the only person who has trouble with the page loading? i think it must be the gif used as the background. every time i turn to this page, it spazzes and flicks for a few seconds. hm?

# Thats IE for you
at home I use a browser that doesn't support CSS, so I just get everything in a big long un-formatted row without a backdrop. Once you get used to it, its actually great because its loads faster :)

Plus the browser is infinately more pleasant to use than IE.

Have you tried Opera? My sister (who uses a Windows box at home) swears by it. And the few times I've used it, I've been really impressed.

# cal designed the HTML
so that it would look good in IE, but still work in Netscape. I haven't observed the background gif thing.
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Thu 7 Mar 2002, 7:29, archived)
# It looks
fine in IE, but when you switch to the window from another one, it draws the background then the CSS lays everything out, and you can see it happen, is all.

Opera doesn't do that, IIRC.

And of course, my non-CSS browser at home doesn't do that either.

It looks fine in Opera as well, btw. :)

# wargh
opera won't load it! stupid opera.

i'll just suffer with IE.
(I helped save b3ta! tomdog, Thu 7 Mar 2002, 8:00, archived)
# I've noticed it too
but only on my crappy slow home PC. I think it's because the background gif isn't very tall so it has to draw it more often to fill the page. I had this problem once on a page I did. As soon as I made the gif a bit taller everything got drawn much, much quicker.

But is it worth the little bit of extra bandwidth?

He starts at 8.00, and we should be in there at about 8.30ish. We'll be the lairy DJ groupies at the end of the bar, but if you don't recognise me from the munted pictures on here, just ask Gary (DJ) if Nacho's about.

# that would be fine ...
the script displays the images as it loads them.

BTW: The all images on 1 page debate? Hmm. The other option is to split it into 2 or 3 pages. 1 image per click is very poor value for the users time investment. Each time they click, they think "can i be bothered to keep going?" And most of them will think "er.. no."

# Haven't been here for a while
But I've been hearing that you're having troubles keeping the site up and running. Well I think it's the best thing on the web. So if - as I read on Flibz's site - you're looking for a tenner or whatever - I'll be more than happy to cough up. I've been entertained so much here, that I'd have no qualms with paying. B3TA signosts all the best stuff on the web, and is, in itself, a kind of movement.

# i'm convinced that
flavours such as beef, prawn etc. are already suitable for vegetarians as they contain nothing but fakeness. i haven't investigated this, mind, but i probably will one day.

its (mostly) true. However prawn flavoured crisps are not suitable for anyone. The smell that lingers for days...

# They contained
animal rennet which is usually used to harden cheese, so I don't know what it was doing in pickled onion flavour.
I know that all flavours of pot noodle are vege and this holds true for some brands of crisps but not all of them. I can't tell you exactly which ones though.
