Thought I'd get that nice BBC ticker. You know, the one that fits on your screen and scrolls the news.

But no. I can't. Because they don't have a Windows XP version. Um...how long has XP been around? How many people have XP?

Good to know my licence fee is being put to good use. Well, not my licence fee. My parents. Although I do pay 1/5th of a licence fee up at uni, which I use for the O.C, Simpsons (both C4) and Neighbours.

So I'm basically paying a Neighbours subscription. I reckon they should include a free XP ticker in with this Neighbours subscription, that's all.

Pepsi Max sucks, by the way. Trying to spread the word. And the word is Coca-Cola.

I was going to use Coke as the word for the spreadage. But I might have got banned, maybe. Probably not.

Pepsi sucks.

Just cause they say it doesn't work in XP doesn't mean you shouldn't try it anyway, what do the BBC know.

I just downloaded it and now i have news scrolling along my monitor.

I agree. Pepsi sucks.

I also agree, the BBC sucks and we shouldn't have to pay for a tv licence anymore. I hardly watch the BBC anymore, ITV news is better of Channel 4 news. If Neighbours moved channel I wouldnt ever need to watch BBC1 OR 2.

Vanilla Coke should've been aborted at birth.

Dirty, dirty thing.

And the ticker is absolute crap anyway - you think it's a good idea but, my goodness, it isn't.

Pepsi Max has to be one of the most vile drinks around - the chemical laden "sugar free" aftertaste lasts for ages.

Full sugar untainted Coca-cola all the way, with Dr. Pepper coming in a close second.
