My email account is inaccessible, but I'm not the only one.

so if you haven't had a reply yet you know why

"More than 113 million people use Google mail worldwide, according to comScore. In a statement, Google said "a number of users" were having problems with Google Mail. "

Presumably the number is more than 113 million.

nah mines fine and dandy and full of spam

I just heard the sound of a squirrel being shot, so I guess my GMail has finally managed to log in

I was going to blame you, but discovered it was Alex's fault instead: A47701956

squirrel, eh? is your mailbox a nut-case?

It's back at my end.

I hope it wasn't that nice squirrel on the FP that got shot

I was reading that entry only last night... well early hours this morning before I went to bed

I've an extensive range of silly sound effects I use for mail notifications and other system sounds

at w*rk i had homer shouting 'booooring' whenever i got mail - drove me colleagues nuts

Heh I daren't set up sounds. Way too distracting!

Ooh, I appear to have email capability

Irony:

I clicked on the link to the news article - and got an error message saying "this page is temporarily unavailable"!

Google went nuts on me some time back and wouldn't let me access
any sites.
Every search result came up with a warning that "this site might damage your
computer".
"Go there at your own risk"
If I tried to go there I got access denied. Yahoo worked fine so goodness
knows what the problem was, still don't know.

It was a self-induced technical error on the part of Google and only lasted about an hour.

It's back now.

Amazing how important the Internet is, eh?

TRiG.

*pressing other buttons*


Not guilty!

I did not touch Gmail this time

Aww I knew it wasn't you (this time)

I don't want to imagine my life without email.

*giggles*

Thank you


Now, had it been Sunday I might not have been quite so innocent


Oh!.. Skankyrich had that look on his face when I broke Gmail the first time

When have *you* EVER been innocent?

You didn't break gmail, I think you hacked the group account or something.
