I heard that it was derived from the Romany for 'child'. I play a browser game (http://www.chavgangs.com) that was clearly intended to take the mick out of chav culture, but it's amazing how many real chavs stumble across it and miss the irony!

Haha - I like that

If you see a piece of litter try picking it up yourself rather than just getting angry about it. People are less likely to drop litter when in a litter-free environment and, conversely, it's amazing how fast piles of rubbish can grow when people who would normally put their litter in a bin add to the pile because "someone's going to have to clear up that pile anyway". I know there is a "why should 'I' have to do it" mentality but I believe that your actions clean up the streets indirectly by more than the amount you physically pick up yourself.

My dad had a Chevette - happy memories ...but a crap car

Too much dross to sit through just to wait for the odd laugh. Ralph Little carried it.

That was Maurice Bronson! Classic wig, though

Our house is shoes-on but with mats outside and in and I'll ask someone to take their shoes off if they are obviously muddy.

For images that are going to be displayed purely on the web, Fireworks (also from Adobe, the same people that make photoshop) is specifically designed for the job.

I remember getting some instruction on public speaking and we were told to "tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you've told them" (i.e. describe what you are going to cover, deliver the content and then re-cap). I'm getting a bit fed up with people like Lilly Allen taking the same approach to self-promotion, but even more so with the press for printing this drivel.
