stupid question?

"sorry I don't understand" is only said when it doesn't understand
what you are saying, nothing to do with the page itself afaik.

Did you highlight the bit you wanted read out to you? Did you say
"Opera speak"? Did you keep the button pressed in while you said it?

(those were my first three mistakes that resulted in 'sorry I don't
understand')

Not any sillier than I - that's exactly what I first thought it would
do too

do i need a microphone to make this voice thing work because it still
isnt...
maybe i should stop being so bloomin lazy. pass the vodker.

Well.. to talk to Opera and say "Opera speak", I would think a
microphone is handy, yes. Haven't yet sought out if there's another
way to make it speak though.

Rum good too? No vodka in the house atm.

If the cheap vodka doesn't rot your brain cells, then the cheap coke
certainly will!

With regards your original question, try taking a look at
http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/voice/using/#nomic
and then select the text and press "V" or "right-click > Speak"

Then when you've done that, try getting it to read the page at
http://www.opera.com/support/new2opera/ and tell me that it doesn't say
"nudie opera" :\

LOL - it does

Opera will react just like any girl - if you don't talk to her, she
won't talk to you <g>

Okay, Dylan is right, just press 'v'

cheap vodker from the freezer

why do you keep it in the freezer?

mixed with cheap diet coke (for my figure).

I think expensive diet coke is just as good for that.

i am sophisticated.

You're saying I'm not, just cause I have rum instead of vodka? ;-)

vodker doesnt freeze so when kept in the freezer it goes very cold and gets
a bit thicker (wrong word) but i get embarrassed when i type viscous....
this system works best with good vodka drunk neat.
it is wrong for ladies to drink.

I understand thicker, no need for embarrassment.

Vodka is best neat, but I prefer it like it is, not thicker or very
cold.

it is wrong for ladies to drink.

No it isn't. IMO of course

Yep, Opera is like any girl. You have to find the right button (in this
case "V") and it works wonders.

why do you keep it in the freezer?

It tastes better the colder it is (I imagine that's why it's always been
a popular Russian drink?), whereas things like Whiskey taste better at
room temperature.
