It's like killing one wasp out of a whole nest. The others won't even notice.

I've been using Opera since version 4. I find it fast, stable and reliable. It's very rare I find a page that doesn't work in Opera. And, using the right skin (breeze), the borders take up minimal screen space. One app for surfing and email - makes sense to me.

I also started using FireFox about a year ago. Yeah, it's great for someone like me who's happy to tinker with settings and plug-ins, but for the run-of-the-mill home user who barely understands what a mouse is, there's only Opera.

Download, Install, Run

On my dual OS laptop I can even have both Windows and Linux Opera sharing a common set of files, like mail, bookmarks, configs and so on.

And obviously all driving licences within the EU are identical...

@ Anonymous Coward #9

y-e-h-h... you'd have thunk, but no. Our driving licences are still paper tri-fold design. There is a photo, but the licences bear no resemblance to any other EU licence. Those of us who work with EU nationals have seen the credit card style ones, but so far as I know there's no plans to bring them in here.

And nope, it's not an urban myth unfortunately; it's since been decided that it might be a good idea to have samples of licences from other countries. Better late than never I suppose.

Look, you're probably aware of the incompetance and corruptness in our banks - the rest of the administrative bodies aren't much better. Actually, that was probably the only bright spot in todays papers.
