hehehe yup 15c is probably about average here for most of the year, wish I could live somewhere nice and sunny and where we don't get taxed for even farting

Chris.

I wondered why my tax bill was so high last year!

hahaha I've been holding my farts in so the government pays me fart credits

Chris.

Just don't apply for a rebate!

hahaha

We have a carbon tax starting next month, I wonder if our silly politicians will get taxed for all the hot air they continuously blow, even if they did they would probably claim it as a legitimate expense.

hehehe good one Chris!

Parts of this conversation are disturbing and funny at the same time

Politicians disturbing, Yes!
carbon price will start at $23 a tonne, rising at 2.5 per cent a year: disturbing for the bottom end of society, Yes!, still, considering Australia exports most of its carbon to be burned elsewhere, someone has to pay.

I was more referring to the fart jokes, but.. OK

Here is another one:
I will have to start bottling mine as of next month.

Worse yet you can even be fined up to 1.1 million for wronly blaming the carbon tax on price increases.

Australians Face Huge Fines For Speaking Ill Of New Carbon Tax

Wow Australia,

That is an epic fail of Chinese proportions...

Funny thing that, considering the government is depositing money into the bank accounts of people on low income to compensate for this, those bureaucrats are a craaazy lot, I guess they will have to start fining themselves.

Hey Chris,

This isn't really a -huge- issue but more of a minor annoyance. I was wondering if you could adopt more standard spelling conventions for your commands. I am aware you're from the UK and that words are generally spelled differently over there but sometimes it can be a confusing pain..

i.e Colour reads OK for me, but Centre vs Center just drives my eyeballs insane.

From a technical aspect I would argue that Programming Languages etc that are developed in English tend to define their keywords using American / "International" English spellings. (I don't think I've ever encountered British English personally, and I can't say I've found a foreign language / API / etc but I wouldn't be surprised if they did exist).

I also realize that you may have done this, to have your own Commands that work with ProGUI widgets, that don't clash with already defined PureBasic commands; but I would have gone with a prefix in that case (ProGUI_MakeColor, etc).

Personally this is where PB falls down with the lack of namespace support IMHO, because then we could have simple stuff like
