And I would like to apologise to the English for the New Zealand cricket team winning the 2nd test.

I would also like to apologise to the Australian and South African nations for our rugby team beating their fine teams smiley - bigeyes

Sorry to hear your news, L'tunes. I'm sorry, but I can't access your homepage without my computer bursting into tears and going home.
Not much anyone can say, is there?
Hope things improve for you soon.

Thanks Grey Area. No big surprise. 2 newspapers merged to become one and with the new one situated 20kms away and me with a clause in my contract saying I did not have to travel any further to work as soon as they started downsizing I was gone.

Strange about your computer. No one else seems to have that problem. Did it happen after I put the music on. It needs a plug in for it to work properly.

No, I think it's because I loaded a cover disk game demo, none of my Star Trek games will work now, and they were OK before. I'll have to get my Boss to look at it. Oh, I can't get the smily faces to work, either. Must be my machine.
Any job prospects? I have been redundant in the past, except it was a stitch up. However, I know how you feel about it. A couple of friends have also recently experienced it.

The good news is I own my home and had a good redundancy package. Financially I'm OK. A few of us are thinking of starting a free paper with local advertising and local news.

It is spring in 16 days. USA tennis Open next month, followed by the Rugby World Cup, followed by the Y2K celebrations, followed by the Olympics. All live on NZ TV. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about work. smiley - bigeyes

I could move to Auckland and get a new job tomorrow but I don't really want to work for a boss again.

Early days yet.

I became ever so 'umble when I discovered that 99% of free cover discs would screw something up on my computer, and I mean not perhaps, but When! Use them for target practice now, and my computer is feeling a lot better, but ever so 'umble.....

.I'm sure that it was just a temporary hiccup....a little humbling doesn't do a rugby side any harm once in a while.....it's a continuous one that creates problems.......just look at the state of the England side at the moment....are they all on drugs?!!!
