Yum, yum. Never enough, but every little bit helps, eh? Oh, and don't think I missed this: That said, I do hope you enjoy what you find here, and that your mother won't go *mental* if she ever discovers you reading it. Speaking for myself, I've already gone, which should save me the trip then the time comes. BTW - Aren't you about due for panto? x
He then said "don't worry, love! There'll be tickets for the Rochdale panto - they're doing Aladdnin this year!"
... he seems to think I was more into the 'panto' bit of "OMG GDL IS IN A PANTOMIME NEAR US AND WE *HAVE* TO GO" than the 'GDL' bit.
I didn't post a blog entry on it because I didn't want to whine at everyone that they got to go and see GDL in a pink suit dancing to High School Musical and I didn't ¬_¬.
I'm working on rectifying the situation, but it doesn't seem likely at the moment. All the tickets that will be left probably won't be worth the amount of money I'll end up having to pay for them or for transport.
Cold hard facts: He will have to be punished. You will eventually recover. (Like any kind of grief, it may never be "OK" but you will learn to live with it.) Therapy may be required.
A pattern my own father and I repeated all too often. The best I can offer is that I really do understand.
Honestly, I really dislike the new sidebar because I use a netbook and the fixed width that you have on the sidebar makes the center column so narrow it's almost unreadable. Personally, I would have either the right picture or the left sidebar, but not both. However, if you really want both, keep the sidebar on the left and make it's width a percentage of the screen instead of fixed width (and you'll also have to change the center column so that the left margin is a percentage as well) so that it's still readable by people on netbooks.
I don't comment often, but I love your stories. :)
The sidebar has to be a fixed width, there isn't the option for a percentage. What I've done is change the centre column to a fixed width also, so hopefully it should be better for you.
If you edit the CSS directly, you can set the option for percentage. Before you changed anything, you had the right picture set as a percentage, the left sidebar as a fixed width, and the center was the remainder. With your current settings now, the center covers the right picture entirely. If you don't know how to edit the CSS directly (I don't, I'm just getting all this info from my geeky boyfriend) then you are probably best just going back to your previous settings. I've found a plug-in for my browser that will let me fix it on my end. :)
I'm using a default layout, so I can't edit the CSS directly. I'd have to create a whole new layout from scratch, and while I could do that, I'm happy with my current settings.
I suppose if the sidebar and the centre column are readable, it doesn't matter too much about the image, right? :|
The main column seems a bit narrow to me, but I do have a bloody massive monitor...so, yeah, I'll just shut up and deal with it. :)
Besides, I got distracted by all the pretty animations and...well...suddenly positioning was of little importance. Christ, forget all the snogging. Ianto, his eyebrows and a grape equals a bloody lethal combination that does me in every time...
Also, it's kind of sad that the grape-eating scene is the only bit of "Combat" I remember vividly. If I do ever get around to writing Torchwood fic, it will feature far more Janto Good Cop/Bad Cop routines complete with handcuffs.
Hee, sorry! I'm trying to give myself plot bunnies...although what I really need is motivation and a swift kick in the arse to obtain said motivation and escape my frippery mood.
YAY! It's better! At least I can see Ianto now (not just his hand). I can't help looking to the right and to the left and thus I'm having trouble concentrating on what's in the middle. I'm in serious danger of an external squint or at least re-reading the same sentence over and over again till I understand the meaning of the words I'm trying so hard to look at. :P

You have no idea how much I want to be in Preston ...

But at least you didn't have the rug pulled from under you at last minute (and not in an Aladdin's flying carpet TAKING ME TO PRESTON kind of way ...)
