Bleb.org/tv is something I use quite often (when I don't have my laptop
with Digiguide to hand on it) but unfortunately they can't show ITV listings
due to legal reasons at the mo - believe a solution is being sought at the

Still, VERY handy site. And who watches ITV anyway. ;)
Something I noticed earlier today - the BBC News pages show how many pages
have been served in the past minute, and that cycles round with other facts
about the site... When I was looking earlier this morning (around middayish)
it showed over 73,000 pages served THAT MINUTE - that's insane! Right
