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.

Pepsi Max isn't as nice as the real thing, but I suppose it's there for all the fatty's who can't have the real stuff but don't want to have to suffer the disgusting Diet Pepsi or Diet Coke.

See, the debate draws you in. Better than sitting at home and wishing you were me, right?
