1. Lower taxes, below the point where the government has money to squander on such things as the Millennium Dome, but not to the point where necessary services suffer.
2. Shorten the work-week to afford the citizens time to devote themselves to good works, civic and charitable endeavours, prayer, reading and other forms of self-improvment.
3. And just enough free beer to toast Her Majesty, but not enough to violate the laws against driving while intoxicated nor being drunk and disorderly in public.

But I must obkect, Jo. You got C2H5OH wrong. It should have been, as is customary for me: (C2H5OH)x3 at least.

any product with microsoft printed anywhere on it is strictly forbidden to enter.
Applause.
I am also fighting a single-handed battle against the Murdoch empire: no 'The Sun', no 'The Times', and no 'Sky TV'. So there - yah boo sucks to you Rupert and Billy.

>My platform is lower taxes, a shorter work-week, and free beer on the Queen's Birthday.
And may she become a born-again Christian, then we'll get free beer twice a year instead of once!
BTW, I need to explain my absence. We ahve a department store here called Kohl's. I went into the liquor store nearby and purchased some English ale, then wandered into the department store. To my dismay, the local constabulary stopped me and hauled me in for carrying Newcastle to Kohl's.

TEd. Don't laugh, but I have no clue what you are saying. I understand all the words but that's where it stops. Did you get arrested for bringing alcohol into a dept. store??

[aside to bel]
that was one of teD's nefandous puns. it's a play on "bringing coals to Newcastle", an activity that would be a study in superfluity, Newcastle being a city known for its coal production I guess....

there was/is no standard for the way that HTML is *interpretedI take your point, tsuwm (and yours xara). It is bloody tough just allowing for Netscape and IE  (although I'd have to say that IE actually makes better use of HTML standards than Netscape - roll on Netscape 6, perhaps). [preach] Still, with the assistance of people like http://www.htmlhelp.com, http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/ and, of course, with the odd reference to http://www.w3.org, it's certainly within the capacities of even individuals to take on most comers adequately. Maybe the resulting site won't be as flashy as you'd like, but that may well be a price worth paying. If you don't have identical platforms (PC/Mac/Unix), then you can always find someone who has that kit and ask them to check out your site. But platform differences tend to be less significant than browser differences in my (admittedly limited) experience. [/preach]

Fishy says: >> platform differences tend to be less significant than browser differences<< That is true, to some extent, but Netscape for unix, for example, is not the same program as Netscape for PC. Then you get into the nasty issues of things such as unix on a Mac (which my husband uses), and unix on a PC (which I use). We ran into a nasty website just the other day that worked for him but not for me. >>resulting site won't be as flashy as you'd like,<< Hoorah to that. There's nothing I dislike more than all those horrible FLASHY sites that are blinking and sparkling so much that you can't find any useful information after you wait the 15 minutes for the darned thing to download.
