Welcome to Corrosive Online
My name is Toby and this is my web space. I have been designing websites for quite a while now and I have learnt some useful hints and tips along the way. I will try and share as many as I can with you. I'm afraid that I am a quite opinionated on a fair few topics so please take my comments in the manner in which they are meant. 99% of the time, all in good fun. You may find that in some areas of the site there is stuff that isn't complete or missing altogether. If you do then please stick with me and I will finish it. Choose what you would like to view from the menus on the left. Or, if you are really lazy, you could use the Site Search...(shame on you). If you have something you would like to contribute to Corrosive Online then I would love to hear from you. Use the form on the 'Contact Me' Page. You might have a tutorial or article which you think people may find useful or interesting. If you are in a band then why not send me a demo track and photo and I can feature you in the articles section. I am broad minded (or 'eclectic' as people like to say) in my taste. Or you might want to send a viral video or a link to a great website. The best stuff I get will be available on this site.

Bristol (or Brizzle)...The City That Never Sleeps (unless it's Sunday afternoon and we've been drinking since 11:00)
I am not Bristol born but mostly brought up in this provincial West Country city. It's a pretty cool place to live, although I am getting a little old to sample some of its wilder pleasures. We have landmarks...
That is the Suspension Bridge in Clifton and it was designed by a chap with a Stove Pipe hat. We also have a few decent watering holes and there's some good stuff arranged during the summer with open air gigs and harbourside frolicks!? It can be a little bit like chav central sometimes and there are more than our fair share of signet rings, baseball caps, tracksuits and 17" alloys but the music scene has some good, young talent coming through and there are still some 'chav free' places to hang out.
Bristol can also boast the street artwork of Banksy... Banksy is a street artist who, to this day, remains anonymous. This is despite having exhibitions of his work at the Andipa Gallery in London and making a considerable amount of money from selling original works. Some people have even tried selling their own garden walls if Banksy happens to pay them a visit!
Some 'little known' facts about Bristol include; Queen's Square in Bristol saw the last reading of the Riot Act in the UK in 1831. Almost half the square was burned down by rioters protesting against the 1830 Reform Bill. The University of Bristol was the first higher education institution in the country to accept women on an equal footing to men and Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) was created by Toby Gard in the city.
Yeah, I like Bristol. It may not have decent size concert venue (apart from Ashton Gate where they insist on putting on acts like Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi, arghhh) and the people might talk funny, but it's alright. Why not come and visit us sometime and we'll show you the sights (a good time is not guaranteed.)
