AGS has had a coffee cup logo alot longer than Espresso, good luck to THEM.

Vote for black.

A little explanation, the way this website has been built is that I have created the look of the website, the sections and whatnot in photoshop, and then passed them onto a web developer who returns with the site looking and working as I expected. What exactly do I need him to change? The frames to CSS?

Hello everyone, I have recently started working for a company doing basic design and graphics, they asked me to refresh their website. I have had a go, and since they wanted a blog, I have essentially created a WordPress skin.

What do you think? I quite like the basics, but it doesn't look very exciting, at least to my tired eyes. It is for a Farm Shop in the UK, which sells fresh fruit and vegetables as well as lots of Deli produce, expensive wines and champagnes, luxury chocolate, flowers. Sort of an aspirational grocery store. Any Suggestions?

EDIT: Should also clarify, the idea was that the four "sub" sites were for four different sides of the business, united by similar design styles and the top bar. Is that clear?

This is a very big step forward from other songs I have heard of yours nath, very very good.

Video seems a touch over-performed vocally and drum-man seems a little nonchalant? Personally not a fan of fiddling with colouring to that extent, but it seems to have the desired effect of looking a bit like a Saw movie? MAkeup is very good and convincing, camera work is professional to my eyes. Set could be a bit bigger but overall a nicely professional looking vid.

I would suggest that possibly this "project" hasn't quite progressed far enough for the CL to offer that much assistance?

Watch the Happening, starring the Funky Bunch. When you find out what's making all those people go nuts, you'll go nuts!

It's almost axiomatic to me that a procedural cannot be a classic, because they're so formulaic. I agree that Laurie has created a great character, but the constraints of the form makes it impossible for anything really meaningful to happen to that character.

It really depends on how you are defining classic, can a classic not be a show that did something really well? House can formulaic but is not afraid to stray away from the formula, see episodes "The Mistake" from season 2 or "The Right Stuff" from season 4 or the excellent "Three Stories" from season 1. All examples of them bending the formula, even leaving it completely behind to try something different. Also worth a watch is the double bill from the end of season 4 which is excellent if just for Character Development alone.

I agree that the Big Bang Theory is probably not a classic, american comedy produces less Great comedy because the Sitcom is such an overfilled genre on the networks over there, I think you could put Arrested Development into the category of Classic, as well as Friends which, whether you like it or not, is undeniably a milestone in the genre.

House, Fringe, Dexter, Sherlock, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, Mad Men, The Event, Dirk Gently, Misfits

For Strictly Comedy shows, I'm enjoying the Office, Community (if you haven't seen it, see it), How I met your mother, Grandmas House, Peep Show, The Thick of It.

Also, for a curve ball, radio shows I'm enjoying: Adam and Joe on 6 Music, The Now Show on Radio 4, Simon Mayo on 5live.

Are they written with English as your first language? The writing seems a little clumsy. Premises could be funny.

Then, this is not the critics lounge.

Thank you Nathan this looks wonderful.

I do not remember entering a background blitz.

I never really played these, I'll just wait for the movie.

The Chain of evidence went something like, off duty security guard searched her twitter feed for where she worked, reported it to her bosses who called the police who (A WEEK LATER) arrested him.

Hardly the rapid response of an organisation taking a threat seriously!

I can only presume that this issue hasn't permeated the international news, as it isn't even really making that much of a splash over here.

A man named Paul Chambers has recently been found guilty of sending a menacing electronic message and fined £1000. The message he sent, via twitter, was this:

"Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!"

He sent that to about 600 followers from his iPhone after a blind date he was going on was jeopardised by his local airport being closed. It was a joke, and obviously a joke. When terrorist cells are using twitter to alert the armed forces, I think it will be a much scarier world.

How often do you see threats on the internet? Something like youtube is full of threats of violence from people who get over excited behind their keyboards and just type nuts stuff, this man wasn't actually threatening anyone, but he has now lost his job and gained a criminal record. I think this is pretty insane, Should the internet be policed in such a way? Is this just a case of the people in charge taking it too seriously, or is it a sign of something worse?

I don't know, what do you guys think of this?

Just choose the wankiest thing you can think of. If you take a name from the suggestions, it won't mean anything to you.

I know for certain mine is hosted there, I'll sort it out but this is going to be a major pain for a while I think! alot of people used that hosting!

But greece has proportional representation? So even though the current lot made a big mess of the economy, it is quite reasonable to believe that your vote can make a difference, if you just keep putting up with something you are unhappy with, then things will never change.

I don't claim to know anything about Greek politics though, and I'm sure the situation is different to here. In the UK it is possible to make a national change by voting locally (from what I can see that is also possible in Greece, proportional representation means its much easier to get a smaller voice heard)

I don't think disengaging yourself from politics altogether is a meaningful action in any way, it just shows you don't care enough to make a difference, or if it comes to it, protest the system. (I'd like to insert a Zimbabwe proviso to that statement)
