Source of much mirth at the moment is Ade‘s Central Scrutinizer over at the Netclectic forums. I’m not entirely sure what Ade intended the artificial forum member to do – I suspect it was just a natty little project for him, but if he intended it to be side splittingly pointless then he’s hit the mark.
Pay a visit to the Netclectic forums – especially if you’re after mods for phpBB, as Ade has done a few, but make sure you attempt a “conversation” with the Central Scrutinizer while you’re at it :o)
At the weekend there we went to Chester, home of Hollyoaks, lots of trees, a cracking shopping district, and handfulls of history all in a very compact area.
We managed to work our way around most of the historic city walls and enjoy a walk down by the river. Sadly we’d left it until mid afternoon to go there, so we didn’t really have much time to play with. I’m pretty sure we’ll go again, though, and I recommend it to anyone passing by the area. :o)
