I get no error, and a yellow closed padlock thingy to the right of the address.  I may heve told it to shut up on altnet's server before for some reason though.  Opera does like to moan.  The latest version for example has this irritating error console which insists on displaying every last error on every page I visit.  If I leave the error console open and hide it underneath something it usually (but not always) sstays there moaning to itself.

P.S. your "from" line confuses Opera - it shows as blank unless I view full headers.  I presume it's the "�"

[Rest of moan below ignored]

The "new labour" government has just announced that they are changing their party emblem from a red rose to a condom, as they believe it most accurately represents the governments political stance.
A condom stands up to inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks and gives you a false sense of security when you're actually being screwed.
