Have you seen it? (I've got a feeling you said you had in an earlier blog.) Loved it for the same reason I was into <I>Shaun of the Dead</I> and <I>Hot Fuzz</I>. It's a Kiwi version of <I>The Birds</I>!<BR/><BR/>Nish -- thanks for dropping by and for your comment. The colour scheme is certainly my choice rather than a Blogger template. Must say, I find it easier on my eyes, not harder. Thanks anyway.Paul Burmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794317430080282991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-72089769648509070292008-08-27T02:32:00.000+10:002008-08-27T02:32:00.000+10:00Hey Paul,I stumbled upon your blog via a comment o...Hey Paul,<BR/><BR/>I stumbled upon your blog via a comment on my sister's blog. I have some feedback regarding the color scheme you chose :-)<BR/><BR/>The black text on the gray background is not very readable (even on an LCD monitor) and I must say I got a faint headache after a few minutes of reading.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure if it's something blogger randomly chooses or something you can customize, but it would probably make it easier for your readers to choose a better color scheme with a more readable contrast between the foreground and background colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6099666866629504207.post-30192922202527637782008-08-26T23:43:00.000+10:002008-08-26T23:43:00.000+10:00Loved that, Paul, especially the animal part.

I had a tendency to hop into 'heated debate' mode a little too easily at one time, and still love to play devil's advocate, but have mellowed in recent years, I suspect.<BR/><BR/>Amateur Book Blogger -- I look forward to having a peek at your responses at the end of the week.

It really bothers me when people check their brains at the door and hop on a bandwagon without an understanding of what they really think for themselves.<BR/><BR/>I used to be afraid of conflict or even a heated debate about a controversial topic, but now I relish the opportunity to discuss different points of view! I guess iron really does sharpen iron - go figure!<BR/><BR/>MadisonLynda Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14184072086095936772noreply@blogger.com
