Due to lack of public support, April Fools Day has been cancelled this year.

I hereby refer you to the newly-instated August Fools Day, which will take place on the 1st day of August, 2006.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I assure you, you shall get a joke of some sort on the 1st of August. James Baughn, one of the old-school TTDers, came up with August Fools Day, I decided I should implement it. ;)

No, it has been my plan for all of a couple of days to do this. ;) At least, this was my backup plan if I didn't wake up until after midday. And indeed, I did not. :P

So, August Fools Day it is.

It only lasted for a couple of hours though, I changed my avatar back when I went to bed.

[00:11] Dave: I take a similar dim view of my own mother.
[00:11]r: Did yours leave your dad for a posh tw*t with a mullet and a handlebar moustache then take what was supposed to be your money for uni as part of the divorce settlement?
[00:12] Dave: Sadly not.
[00:13] r: You know what that means then?
[00:13] r: That means I win.

Right, well, it's now the 3rd of April, so I think this topic can be closed. Further random discussion in the OT forum please. ;)
