Try redstation.co.uk, they offer domain registration for £3.95 (net) per year (min. registration 2 years) and free web hosting for the first twelve months 8) it shouldn't be a problem getting your site transferred to another host?

Wierd though, every time I've read a post saying "link not working" I've checked and it's come up fine!

Curiouser and curiouser! Works OK as of about 30 seconds ago:

Sorry about the poor image qaulity, reducing the image from my native screen size by 50% doesn't do it a lot of good! :roll:

The only obvious things I can think of right now is that [a] I'm on Firefox and most of you guys are probably on IE, or I'm seeing a cached page from when I looked at the site a few days ago.

*goes off to clear cache*

Baffling tbh :lol:

Cleared the cache and cookies and anything else Firefox might store and went back, and it's definitely up, at least here it is. Its OK in IE too, so I'm at a loss :?

Yeah seems a good deal. Notice how I asked them to offer discount to member and they got carried away and said 10% of starter and 40% of others.

(40%- the middle package will be like only £2 more than the middle one :) )

Tailgating is my main issue when im out driving
whats the point in following a car so close? you won't get there quicker because your constantly breaking.
I've had many a run-in with cocky twats literally up my arse then pull out and over-take me on a single carriageway, on a straight, slight bend...you name it!
its amazing how many risks people take on the road, just to get by a single car, and usually that car who passes you meets another load of traffic and before you know it your right behind him again, this is when you give him abit of his own medicine (i don't condone this but i cant resist)
Also i love it when a car over-takes you, breaking the speed limit, so as they try to pass you, you drop the car a gear and speed up lol.

I only p*** people off on the roads who deserve it

that was abit of a rant wow i must be ill
