Currently on the front page there's Muzza, Maser, PHers. Is it just me or does it seem to be a bit, urm, not entirely sure how to describe it, cheap, tacky even, but definitely it shows poor form. Come on lads, keep the standards up.

Not a fan of them Iain? Fair enough. Space is limited with titles, and maybe it's just a coincidence that we've got a number of them on the home page right now, but duly noted...

Murray takes up one character extra, which on my screen would move
"Muzza returns to
the mic for Five
Live"
becomes
"Murray returns
to the mic for
Five Live"

"PHers at Le Mans
2007"
becomes
"Pistonheaders at
Le Mans 2007"

and finally
"New Maser
unveiled in the UK"
transforms into
"New Maserati
unveiled in the UK"

All of which are arguably more balanced looking anyway and don't take up any more lines, an extra second typing would make it all look a bit smarter and less slangier (is that a word), and granted Stirling Moss often refers to the "Masers", however I need something to moan at wink

I dunno - it all makes perfect sense to me.

Massa and PHers are pretty standard terms - and I don't think they've chavvy or cheap.

Although I do agree with Muzza - I'd never have thought it was God Walker hehe

Since when was this a thread about Formula 1 drivers? I've had more coffee today, I promise I won't be so grumpy wink
