The new look site is now up and running, albeit with a caveat to inform us that this is still a beta version so they are still ironing out the glitches, but so far looks good. Rocket Robin game is a hoot!

I really like the "stuck together with gaffa tape, written on the back of random scraps of paper" look of the new site.

the new website is very cool, a lot of new features (TG show insider), I found the car chooser very amusing, just browsing through the many different cars.
Excellent, for browsing at work images/smilies/smile.gif
