Oh no!

The devious person who stole Redsocks' commas has also stolen the spacebar, apostrophe key and the caps function from Ghostie's keyboard!

Someone alert the Punctuation police!

:shock: :lol:

Oh. My. Lord. There is a song about the pesky little things.

Click on the 'Listen to this song' option.

Some people have to much time on their hands.

OK, this is not from the OS, but the Comic Relief auction has


This is a bit like Neil Armstrong giving you the moon because Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are presenting the winner with a Roland JD800 keyboard belonging to The Pet Shop Boys, which Chris played in the 2002 Release tour. And not only that, EMI are throwing in their entire Pet Shop Boys back catalogue of albums, released through Parlaphone. Heads on desks everyone. You've all got over-excited.

Parlaphone? Come on Neil, you can ask Comic relief to correct this!!!

On the Format microsite.

When the video launches with the question ''Which b-sides do you like to play live'' the animation has the question as ''Which b-sides to you like to play live?''
