    Just noticed that I've now reached my goal of being a "Master Debator". As Finbarr Saunders[^] would say... fnarr fnarr...

              Well, according to your reputation graph, you achieved that status in mid 2011. :laugh:

                  I didn't say I noticed very quickly - to be honest I'm not a reputation whore, so check it, quite rarely (understatement), generally when I click the wrong thing in the header.

                          Is that still going? I remember back in the 80s Viz was something of a required read where I was working.

                              Finally someone got the joke.. I thought the Finbarr Saunders link made it obvious. I think we should all get together, then we could have a mass debate. I'll get my coat (and some dark glasses).

                                Yep, its still there, bought one the other day to make a long train journey a bit less tedious. It's not quite up to its glory days, but some bits still hold their own ('fnarr, 'fnarr).
