In short

Today I've been mucking around with code to create a text button for those who prefer a larger font. This can now be found above, under the banner.

Me, I don't care for the option due to increased scrolling but recognise some may appreciate reading larger text. For those who do, you may care to confirm in Comments to give me an idea whether to retain the button.

Plus a message to the passenger I dropped in Rozelle this morning, shortly after midnight - unfortunately you forgot to sign the Cabcharge voucher, so I'm wondering if you could email me ? If so, I'll gladly overlook the lunch-box 'incident'...thanks, you're a star.

Please keep the larger font option, it will be especially handy if I don't have my glasses

Y'know, as a bloke with little else to do, I read a lot of blogs every morning and yet I always leave yours 'till last, heres's why - As I trawl through the blogosphere (what an awful name for something) I get the views of Lefties who want to socialise everything and the Righties who want to shoot everything and all the shades in between, until I wonder if there's any normal blokes out there. Blokes who get up, go to work, come home, relax, pay taxes and - above all - live at grassroots level. Thanks.

Please keep the larger font!

Is it just me who now wants to know what the "lunch box" incident was??

[L]

Options are always good. I say keep it.

I too am curious about the "lunch box" incident!

Ah Jo....you are obviously not up on aussie vernacular. The term "to open one's lunchbox" refers to the passing of wind by a person. Can be heard at lunchtimes (or any other time really), mainly spoken by males.

An example is, upon entering a place with a distasteful smell, the male says "Geez, who opened their lunchbox?".

There you go.

G'day, I've just spent the past 3 days or so reading all your "On the job" posts from the beginning - and due to my monitors rather large resolution, I had to enlarge the font for every post (it was worth it though!). Pressing ctrl and scrolling the mouse works best for me, easier/faster than clicking the link. For me the best improvement would be to fix the layout - currently you have a fixed width column, so viewing your blog at a high resolution, the blue sides take up > 50% of my screen!

Anyway thanks for the great stories - I hardly ever ride in taxis (I reckon I've been in only 2-3 in my whole life), so found them particularly interesting.

There is another meaning to 'lunchbox'. When one vomits, you are said to have dropped your lunchbox.
I hope for Adrian's sake that they only opened it without spilling anything.

actually, Adrian, there's a function in every browser that allows ppl to increase/decrease text size regardless. or shortcut keys are "CTRL++" to increase, or "CTRL+-" to decrease (for PC users).

so if u don't want to trouble urself with having that. tell them to learn to use their browser functions. ^_~

[keir]

mac users have the same functionality, hold command and press + or -

easy peasy.

I usually "CNTL - SCROLL" but I like this button. Keep it.

[Lance]

Ya can lern orl sortsa stuff here. U lota smart.
'Tis a good read too. Tar muchly Adrian and orl U uva ppl.

[adrian]

Okay folks, the font option stays. Thank you, and enkew; champion.

Err, the 'lunchbox' reference is purely literal, neither vulgar or salacious, but simply to help said passenger identify herself.

That's fine for ole bung-eyes here.
