    Default The Age hates Neal?

    Take a look at the heading in this article:

    http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/icr...0802-3oyq.html

    Then, in the body:

    " ... [names beginning with a word-like vowel] ... reminiscent of the 'u' names fashionable in the 1980s and to be avoided by anyone serious about brand-building"

    Apparently the "hot" prefix at the moment is "My", and the next one is expected to be "You".

    There ya go, Neal ... this month you can be MyBeaut, next month you can be YouBeaut, and you'll have The Age's stamp of approval.

    Wankers.

    Any more changes to the forum and my brains will turn to grey mush (as opposed to the icy, brilliant intelligence that I usually have! )

    Youbeaut, iBeaut, Mybeaut.... all flash in the pans compared to the brilliant ubeaut!
    Cheers,
