The Update Archive - 2000
| Monday 18 December 2000 |
| The Site I've changed things again so they look a little bit cleaner. I've also got some of the audio clips back online (and in improved quality), but I've had to put them on idrive.com which appears to be a little bit temperamental when you try to download one of the files - sometimes it lets you get it, other times it doesn't! Well, this'll probably be the last time I update the site this year due to the quietness of all things Supergrass, so I might as well take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope you all have fun! |
