15 mins from Brighton and a similar distance  from London (IIRC) definitely puts you in the UK ;)

You could be mildly surprised by a native Guinness once there.

My wife doesnt drink much either............ I had to shovel her into a taxi from a friends 50th - at 22.30!! But thats another story.

It is an Irish thing (St Patrick being the patron saint of Ireland) but the British and Americans seem to celebrate it.
Over 36million Americans claimed Irish ancestry in 2008 - because the Americans need to cling to something ;)
Northern and Southern Irelands population is around 6.2million (2008) and like a good knees up - with or without an excuse.
Brits celebrate it purely as a reason to get totally blathered on the 'black stuff'. Well I do anyway ;)

[edited to say - Guinness in the UK is not a patch on the Guinness available in Ireland]

Pete, you're still feeling too concerned about SMF.
After 45k+ posts at SM, whether he is a member or not and even after being treated like a twat, he will still have a place in his heart for the software,
Its a bit like a wayward child.......... whatever it does, you will still love it.

I like the font, I like the pyramid design.
I also think the 'we' being outside the design has a community connotation.

Cheers

'skin' is a familiar term for flash and iTunes as far as I am concerned.
'Theme'  I associate with SMF....... billy2 winces.

Go with 'skin' for me.
