Even LESS Mustard?

  Where has all the mustard gone?
  Long time passing.
  Where has all the mustard gone?
  Gone, long ago.
  
  Where has all the mustard gone?
  Even borders mow are white.
  Where has all the mustard gone?
  Gone, washed out of sight.
  
  I have said it before, and I'll say it again: this is NOT saving the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú money; pixels of mustard cost no more than pixels of white - and are much more reassuring to the humble Mustardlander - YOUR RUDDY AUDIENCE.
  
  What do we want?
  
  MUSTARD!
  
  When do we want it?
  
  NOW!
  
  Be careful Mustalrdlanders don't come and take-over the foyer of BHL in the same way that protesting UCL students have taken-over the Bentham Room!

  One of my queries on the proposed new site was 'would it still be mustard' and Tayler responded 'yes it would.' Hmmm.
  
  I wonder what an angry protest march of MLers would be like? Terribly polite, and with very good sandwiches I suspect.

  Very much so, and along the lines of 'What do we want? A decent message board, please! When do we want it? Quite soon, if you don't mind awfully'.
  
  And there would be dribbly cardis.
  
  But. But. There would also be crack troops of halibut-slappers, wickerers, and purpetrators of other terrible fates concealed among the nicely-behaved, just in case we were ignored.

  Some might even correct my spelling. Perpetrators. Tsk. (Stands in corner)

  ... and some exceedingly well-mixed G&Ts, exquisite Dry Martini cocktails and supremely good vintage malt whiskies at a pub/bar near Langham Place, methinks!

  I've always disliked the mustard colour. (For that matter, i dislike the habit of always referring to a group of message boards as "Mustardland" or anything-land.)
  
  I think that the mustard colour is ugly, glaring and tiring. I wish you'd got rid of it altogether and I find it even harder to bear, now it's just a strip at the top and a border. Also, it doesn't, it absolutely doesn't, "go with" the green. Don't they have any decent graphic artists working on message board design? I think you shpuld alter the green to dark grey if you're keeping the mustard.
  
  The message column's wider, though, so that's one small improvement.

  Sorry, I should have said, "a big improvement." (Had got into churlish mode. (I'm afraid it may be catching.))

  What do we want?
  
  MUSTARD!
  
  When do we want it?
  
  NOW!  
  
  Hi Bear
  
  Thanks for the poem! The mustard is back. We had a problem with the site on Tues which resulted in the look changing. Apologies from the Beeb!
  
  Seems some much preferred the look without the mustard border and some want it back!
