761125 2009-03-31 21:27:00 MoreFM in Auckland were trying (reasonably successfully) to convince people that the new ALPURT toll road implementers (who have done such a bang-up job so far!!!) had made a pricing mistake and were sending letters to everyone who had used he road since it was opened, demanding an extra dollar for each time they had used the road.

They nearly had me - I was starting to savour the concept of making a court case of it for the sake of $1 (one north-bound trip).

Then I remembered the date.... ;)

761126 2009-03-31 22:01:00 Been super quiet today here. No nasty viruses, no pranks. Very boring.

I used the whole open/close cd drive constantly script last year on a few peoples PCs, wasn't feeling very creative this year. :p

Five people turned up.

761130 2009-04-01 00:00:00 I would think it probably felt normal for Sweep - I understand he normally wears his underwear that way, along with a nice "S" emblazoned on his shirt and a red cape.... :D johcar (6283)

761133 2009-04-01 00:23:00 Sorry to disappoint here.

I was not one of the famous five who did.

And if I was Superman I wouldn't need petrol would I?

761134 2009-04-01 00:30:00 There seems to be a couple in the Dominion newspaper.
A Hugh Hefner/Rotorua ad and a pic of a shark autopsy with a hand coming out of the sharks mouth.
I may be wrong of course...
