Besides, sometimes everything wont fit. Try this:

Is Lionheart really Shadya at weekend and after 6.00pm on weekdays or are they actually separate people who happen to co-habit and perhaps in some form of marriage and are they really a cross cultural family or are they both the same deluded person who refuse to acknowledge the fact that they are a ****wit?

take a deep breath...

Now can you see all that fit in a thread title? LH would probably like it as he hates vague thread titles

or retarded websites that just have one page (generally with lots of "comical" clipart animations) that give no info apart from a telephone number...

France is like that too. They seem to love having online catalogues but when it comes to ordering, there's just a phone number. Great.
