Lovely

A few things i didn't like that much:

- The background of the page title should probably also have rounded 
corners.

- If I use Firefox, the navigation menu has a white stripe across it 
(where the rounded-corner image and the box meet). Furthermore, the 
colours do not seem to match in Firefox. These things are fine in Safari.


I love the language-fly-out. Really cool. And yes, the British flag is 
definitely recognisable (British spelling ;-)).
