Do you mean the post contents themselves?

Not really, I mean that Sage seems to only pull the titles of the five latest posts. However, I would prefer if it pulled all the titles from the "Today's Active Topics". Thus I wouldn't have to watch Flare like a hawk [Wink]

After a bit of looking, I'm hypothesizing that this might not actually be that easy since the five topic thing seems to be decided by http://flare.solareclipse.net/ContentIslands/1/rss10.xml
which only has five generated entries.

Yes, but I control how many can be provided.

However, there's an upper limit of 15, while we usually have around 20 active topics per day here.

I don't know if it's the Guinness or what, but limey livers are the best.

Only Australians are allowed to say "limey". Think up your own nickname.

I could also point out that Guinness is as much a "limey thing" as the colour green and the Blarney Stone, but I think I might have spelt the latter item wrong, so I won't.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I think that's "blimey" not "limey" as in "cor blimey"

We had that movie here, the one with Terence Stamp, called 'The Limey' (where he's on a plane and then he kicks the crap out of all these guys, except that maybe he didn't), and so after that was out on DVD, Americans were granted a limited distribution of 'limey'. Also, I mispelt 'Guinness' on my first try which would have disqualified me anyway.

Maybe we could we replace 'limey' with 'pommy' and 'Guinness' with 'boiled cabbage'?

You could, if this was the 1930s in some parallel universe. Go with "curry". And "pommy" is just as Australian.

Some European countries apparently have a name for us based around "roast beef" (as we eat it; in the same way that the French are called "frogs", or Americans are called "fat").

Actually, limey was used more by Americans. Australians always used pom.

Americans don't know or care about the difference between England and Australia, anyway.
