Cirrus have been making the classic RAF flying jacket for years and they are very fond of their classic picture that has served them well over the time. However the original skin came in a colour that is no longer available so this is a job for Photoshop . Changes can be made to any selected area and a new colour skin now lives on an favourite old photograph. Dating Singles hopefully has enough traffic to make it worth putting a Cirrus banner on the home page.

As a director of Moonmist (the best Metasearch on the web!) I occasionally spend some time aiding an abetting their plans. Today was one of those days when a new deal is now one the table with one of our commercial partners Kanoodle . Although it is Friday evening and the working week has finished for many people - there is no rest for the wicked! - and I will be working on the Cirrus flying jacket site this weekend updating and tweeking. Although I won't be spending any time on Dating Singles this weekend as it will be going through a server upgrade.

I have now finished the 'master' mojos name style. It can used at any size and keep its shape. Sent George another version of his Avocado logo for use in his emails. Had a usefull talk with Nominet and The treasury Solicitors and may have managed to unlock the Scottphoto domain name log jam.

Geoff arrived this evening just as I was finishing the last mojo.info logo. After a day on the PC it was good to get onto the G4 and do battle with Illustrators curves. It was time to stop creating yet more versions of the Mojos escorts logo I was up to version 26 after all. Looking back I might as well go back to number one and draw an outline around it.
Geoff needed a revised version of his little yellow pages ad for his bike shop. As his web site all-lite.co.uk is beginning to take off he is not persuaded by Yellow Pages to spend more with them.
I introduced him to this section of laslett.info and we visited bikeblog.

Our mainline media is still currently obsessed with the 'Royals' or the Windsors as they named themselves. The current who ha is all about who has been buggering who in those royal palaces. Although of course the 'male rape' happened some years ago and was dealt with at the time - so they say. It's all a new twist on what the butler saw and a hide and seek for the tape kept by late Lady Diana. Who has it now?
For those into conspiracies there is plenty to go for here - not least of course is the Crown itself. Will Charles, who fucked over Diana (Spencer), get his chance? Will Camilla be able to join him if he does? Should the rat be skipped altogether and the crown go on to the next generation? Is it all a diversion to keep us from looking in another direction? How are we doing in finding the elusive Bin Laden by the way?
