I also have a boring Word related query if anyone wants to put their underwear on the outside and help me?
Alt hopefully less boring Q: what's the best holiday you've been on and why?

Whenever one of our secretaries highlights a sentence to make it bold or whatever,
it automatically updates the whole bloody document and messes with the margins, etc. I created a new template for her with all the correct fonts and stuff in the hope it would clear it, but it didn't. I've gone through the help bit which says to untick the 'automatically update' box for each of the formatting sections, but the box is already unticked. It's driving me crazy!

It'll be a change in her normal.docx file
find that delete it, delete the system 32 folder.
Restart your computer. open word, make a new file go save as call it i'mamassiveidiot.doc and then jump out the window.

Dah pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird turd to show you,
So tell all the boys and girls.
Tell your brother, your sister
And mama too, cause they’re
About to go down
And you’ll know just what to do.
Wave your hands in the air
Like you don’t care, glide by
The People as they start to poop and stare.
Do you dump, do your dump quick
Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s
The Turd, ah turd up,
Everybody say when you hear the call
You got to get it underway,
Turd up, it’s the code word,
No matter where you say it,
You’ll know that you’ll be heard.

a couple of their tracks sounded a bit like that I suppose
they are certainly shitloads better than Slipknot.
Their live version of Another Brick in the Wall by Floyd blew my mind

I really liked slipknot. I just fell in love with the drumming and percussion straight away. Did you see Joey Jordisson came top of the Best Drummer of the past 25 years poll.

I haven't listen closely to enough of their stuff to know whether that was justified or not.
I find it hard to believe he is better than Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater who came second. I don't recall the guy from Porcupine Tree being all that special either.
I rate the dude from Tool as well, for crazy time signatures and rhythms

A cottage on the gatehouse of a castle, surrounded by a moat. Comes complete with guard geese, and excellent privacy. Some knuckle dragger related to Vipros lives in the nearby village, if I recall.

I shan't include the last minute week in Spain (got the shits for the whole week) and Gran Canaria (got ripped off to the tune of around £2500) in those.

My best ever holiday
(if you can call it that) was when me and my chum Nick were trusted to go unsupervised to the Treworgey Tree Fayre, Liskeard, Cornwall 1989. I was 15. It was incredible.
Foreign holiday-wise my tour of Ancient Greek sites (also '89) was incredible, and I managed to acquire a lovely girlfriend on that trip too. Seeing thick dawn mist rising at Delphi is a sight never to be forgotten.
