That Man 'o Mine
Written by
Dolly Face
That Man 'o Mine is not the brightest light on the tree. Nor is he the sharpest tool in the box. He's not only a technophobe, he's also crap at DIY. (And yes, I do sometimes wonder ...)

Written by
Lucy Pepper
When I first started building websites in the 90s, it was a GHASTLY business. I soon learned my lesson that html, like stop-frame animation, wasn't for this girl with the attention span of a rodent.
