Hopefully you won't notice any difference but please make sure that you refresh (hold CTRL & press F5 on pcs) regularly or you might find yourself staring at the old page for a few days whilst the DNS changes occur. Please also let me know if you spot any errors in things like the comments, RSS feed, archives or even if you just can't see the site - if you don't tell us then we won't know so all feedback is appreciated.

This guy was superb - a one man industrial cheese-monger. He stood on stage alone except for a guitar, his backing tape and a face full of paint and blew everyone there away with his thrashy noise interspersed with a genius use of samples - Ministry never sounded this good (but then they didn't have Johnny Vegas, Grange Hill and Count Duckula samples!). If you get the opportunity to see him then I guarantee that you won't fail to be entertained by him. Definitely a star in the making. Grom Moss 2004-05-25T09:02:19Z RoboChrist.

The Jaguar team struck a sponsorship deal with <em>Steinmetz</em> (classy diamond dealers) and embedded £0.14m diamond in the nose cone of their cars... <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/05/24/monaco.diamonds/">This</a> is what happened...

This is because the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) are the people who fine you for swearing on the air in the States. The FCC amusingly describe themselves as 'an independent United States government agency, directly responsible to Congress' although quite how they can be independent when they are appointed by the government and report directly to the government is a mystery known only to themselves).

This meant that there were some impressive techniques used such as long tracking or scanning shots.

One news story that didn't appear until after the race was that the diamonds in the front of the Jaguar cars that were implanted to advertise the new <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349903/">Ocean's Twelve</a> movie were actually real diamonds worth about £200k each. Apparently, after Christian Klein crashed early in the race - the diamond on his car <a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_britain/story.jsp?story=524300">went missing</a>. Perhaps the plot for Ocean's 13 might have just written itself. Grom Moss 2004-05-24T10:58:45Z Ocean's Twelve movie were actually real diamonds worth about £200k each.

I did, however, manage to waste about half an hour tomight playing <a href="http://www.adultswim.com/games/inuyasha_demon/index.html">Inuyasha Demon</a> which I assume is based on a cartoon of a trading card of a game of an animated manga film of a comic book or something.
