I think its really nice, well done for sorting it out. It would be cool 
to get it working with html, but I guess this will be your aim anyway. 
Secondly I was wondering if it is possible to create a ticker for 
region/topic pages, without it showing on the uk startpage. As far as I 
understand it is only possible to have 1 ticker at any given time, and 
only for the uk startpage. Any possibilities here?
