    Very nice website, but I would spread the page to 100%.

    I wouldn't.

    I like the design.

    I hate fluid layouts as a general rule.

    It makes the copy harder to read.

    It is just a personal thing. I like website that spread on the entire width of the browser, plus, I think it may show more information without scrolling.

    It's nothing negative, just a personal point of view.

    Agreed, and it's a real sod to lay it out too. Ontop of testing for different browser versions, there's no need to go through the hassle of making sure it works on 800x, 1024x, 1152x, 1280x, 1600x ...

    I had a troll around the sites before !!!!!! [you know why] but I think this has a bit of style about it - understated - I clicked on cars, or something, and it didn't take me anywhere much so I guess you are still working on it.

    Perhaps a little more colour around those bits of special interest might be good [but not essential] :)

    Looks very good, classy. Don't forget your DTD and to get shot of the font tag in your front page. Hen Nights link button (in magenta or whatever colour it is) is quite hard to read.

    I do like buttons that rollover, makes them very clear, but that's just my PO.

    Definately an improvement on your old demon homepage :D

    Thanks.

    Don't suppose you could shed more light on the cars link that took you nowhere? I don't have a cars link and im scared :)

    Anything is a improvement on that demon tripe! What is DTD?

    Thanks everyone.

    Looks nice!

    Took me forever to figure out where the 'home' button was after I had clicked through a bit.
    Clicking on the header didn't cut it. Nothing in the 'navigation' area for home.

    When users can't find home - they could become lost resulting in a shorter stay.

    Which puts you in direct contravention of the adsense TOS

    and quite frankly, any site that tells me "Warning: You are tracked through our site with your ip address: xx.xx.xx.xxx" gets fucked off straight away.

    Hmmmm, it's been a while since my own bachelor party, but from what I can remember of the evening, there were a lot of naked women involved?!?

    Maybe things are different in uk?

    It's long evolved from a jaunt down the local pub. They now entail entire weekends (sometimes a whole week) worth of partying....

    I noticed this as well. I think that if the big G finds this, that your account will be shut down immediately. It is very clever, I'll grant you that much.

    I still think that you're trying to entice visitors to click on the ads. If Google terminates your account, you'll have a pretty good idea why. I still think it's clever, but definitely pushing the envelope.
