Nah, everyone misspells it both sides of the pond. They mean fluorescent. etymology comes via fluorspar (calcium fluoride)

For UK viewers, the daily mirror is running another week-long lego giveaway, starting Saturday 5th September. http://www.mirror.co.uk/lego/

Glad I'm not the only one itching for number three :-) Personally I'm expecting something with pillars - Jamie has tutorials on pillars on the lego website, and his town hall had them too. Oh, and it has to be alliterative. Soda shop? Tan Tanner? Orange Office? Busted Bank?

Aaagh! Went to legoland windsor (uk) and searched high and low for GG, only to finally be told that because they're no longer owned by lego they don't get any of the exclusives any more. If I'd known I would have ordered through shop@home earlier!

Yes, that's what I thought. Not a full ldd to ldraw converter or anything, just a simple brick counter. Even if it just did the ldd factory palette it would be pretty useful?

Ah. 'Nuff said. Sorry if I made it sound easy :-) Do you know if there's anyone working on it? D'you know that's the first time anyone has known where the nick is from since I started using it online in 1993? Maybe I can finally retire it now - everyone thinks I'm a girl... -- Adam

Sorry (new here) - can you confirm that there's nothing that will convert LDD into a bricklink wanted list? It should be really easy - an ldd file is just a zip file containing an xml file, with a Part line for each brick. It's pretty trivial to write a converter...
