What GSTQ said, Fraser
Prod has the win.
How can you top a BBC Front Page?

( Flowerpot Voodoo stick and shark's fin, Wed 18 Jun 2008, 20:47, archived)

Why is it not on the b3ta front page already?
I very rarely say that, but if ever there was a time to do so then surely it's now.

Sometimes I think you read too much into things.
I've seen you mention the cliques and the old-pals-act that gets front pages in the past, and so have I, but you don't get 31 FPs by being hated by everyone.

I'm not trying to be an arse, it's just an observation.
