One AS for Andromeda and one LT for Joanna -----> c(~) c)~(

Hello everybody, nice to see you all.

I know it's been say before but when exactly is the shutdown and how long will it take?

Sorry, it looks like not only my memory has shut down, now my English is slipping as well.

Could I have a coffee please, maybe that will help.

To quote the front page

" We're going to be performing a major upgrade of the h2g2 servers on Wednesday 7 June, starting at 11am BST. We hope the upgrade will take no more than three hours, but during that time the site will be inaccessible."

The current BST time is 10:40

Thanks for that, I hadn't a clue what BST was. Very stupid I know.

*Puts hands on face to mask blushing*

Thanks for the drinks...

*wakes up with a start*

Gosh it's filled up in here. lucky I woke up as there is only 5 mins til eleven o'clock BST (British Summer Time, Twilight)
What am I going to do for 'levenses! Oh NO!

*quickly hands over donuts to Superdreamer*

Thanks. only one minute to go. Will it go off line at exactly 11:00?

Coffee for twighlight, and for SD (drink it quick).
*runs round tidying up the Cafe. Does the washing up. Changes the filters in the IIEM. All is well.*

Right folks, grab on to something solid. I've no idea how this will affect us! * grabs onto Ook as he is fairly solid. Ook grabs onto counter. Pierrot grabs onto B-17's shoulder *

TO BE CONTINUED............

...Only it's now 11:03 and we're all still here

Well I did say it would be continued, I just didn't mention when

Oh I see. It's just that I've got work to do and I was hoping to get some done round about now.

Could it be that I am the first one back here?

And me makes two. Howcome you were here over an hour ago? I tried to login then but it didn't work.

Ah well.

IIEM, a cappucino please.

Notice particularly the pigeon fanfare
