Can we pay extra for personalised message T shirts? I don't say much on this site but do turn it on for laughs and good information. Hence, as a professional with a bit of spare cash, if I can help the site by getting slightly overcharged for a modified standard UKB T shirt which said as an example:

' "Steve... you've forgotten to take your medication again."  Mick Ryan'

How could I not take up the offer? Helping to keep UKB, UKB and all that.

Great news, and very happy to hear Bubba's staying on. I think UKB would be a very different place without him.

It's also been a real financial bonus for me to lift me out of a bit of a current hole - funny how smashing my car up has led to all this!

So, what car you going to get to celebrate your dot com fortune, Bubbs?

It's the 12th level of direness built in to the DeLorean DMC-12.

Apparently most reliability issues can be sorted by installing a Linux operating system.

Actually most linux distros have a wheel.

Its the default name for the group that has permissions to access the root user account (and then wreck all sorts of havoc if you don't know what you're doing, or more usefully perform installs and updates etc. etc.).

There ends todays completely useless and irreverent Linux insight .

Bloody hell, me and Norton were having our lunch in Saas Fee taking a break from the lovely powder that no one else seems to be finding when Dolly texts Norton saying that the Shark has bought UKB. Our first thoughts were 'how ironic a fat weak chuffer has bought UKB'

Deffo. I think a short run of T shirts is required to celebrete the occasion, with "dire at every level" on the front

and

"ALL NEWUKB

Now with added ugly, primitive, juvenile and offensive"

Probably but do it anyway. We are keen to bring the unit cost per wad point down.
