A pox upon all those webmasters who think it's a good idea to send the user to a "your session has timed out" page after half an hour.

A short conversation from the house:

"Tom, give me a shout if the microwave explodes"
"What?!"
"Strawberry cheescake goodness"

A double pox on whoever was behind the redesgin of the National Rail site - the old site was actually *useful* and does not require half an hour with Word Pro to reformat it into something that can be printed sanely. I managed to turn what would have been 4 or 5 pages of multi-coloured madness into one side of black-and-white usefulness, with no loss of significant information. Which is something that I *never* had to do with the old site, because the designeers of that actually understood that people wanted printable information, not CPU-eating flash adverts. Grr.
