Thus the hat of spik`edness.

I've already got a face like a robbers dog Clive, when on the odd occation i've had me hair shaved, I look as though I just escaped from a maximum security mental hospital. and the missus won't allow it! (not that i'm under the thumb you understand!)

Maybe the bbc would like to spend some of my tv licence fee on buying some new SERVERS for it's online dept.

Calmness my thingite brother (or shall I have to bop you on the nose with the mace of Moral Correctedness?)

A useful tip:

Before you post to a forum or journal select all the text you've typed and copy it.
That way if the whole lot gets thrown for a loop you can save it as a word file or something. Also it help sometimes if the window you've been using is showing no signs of life is to open a new window in the browser and go to the same page and see if what you wrote has already appeared. If it has, all well and good, close down the non-fuctioning window and continue afrsh from the new one. If the message hasn't posted, *consider* replying from the new window with the copied message and run the risk of posting the message twice. (It's better than getting the "be patient" message. )

Perhaps you should have a spike fitted directly to your head, AB. Apart from giving you a permanent air of authority, you could use it for carrying a spare in case you feel a bit peckish.

Hmmm... *muses* *laughs at the pun*

Just out of curiosity... has the site been running extraordinarily slow today and yesterday for anyone else? It keeps loading about halfway for me, then stopping... *grrrr*

Otherwise... double posting (and sometimes the elusive but possible triple post) is a mark of true h2g2-ship... the enthusiasm which accompanies it is unriveled.

Actually, I was just thinking how much quicker it seems this week! I haven't actually managed a double-post for several days... and as for triple posts...

, to tears... For a moment there I almost thought you hadn't tried that. , again.

No, but seriously, it's a bit pokey on this side of the pond and I don't know why...

Thanx Lord, for the tip, today I did a stupid thing. do you want to know what... i'll tell you anyway::deepbreath:: I installed aol as my isp, the bloody thing has infested my pc like some horrible illness(I won't say the V word, likely as not end up in the high court) anyhoo do any of you lot know:
A/how can I get rid of it's vile headers?
B/how am I ment to acsess my bookmarks?
Oops, sorry to burble on. LoL PF, i,m definatly going to get a bionic spike.

Maybe it's something to do with all these power-cuts we keep hearing about! Your ISP is probably running its servers from a little diesel generator in the basement

Greetings Amy,
Yes it's very slow, like swimming through treackle, don't know who to blame bbc or aol
ab

What ISP were you using before? You could try re-installing it. As for the bookmarks - write them down next time - I'm not sure if they are recoverable.

Sorry

You have my sympathy, AB, I did the same thing a few months back. When I got fed up of it (after about ten minutes) I tried to get rid of it, but the blasted thing had infested my system like a sort of electronic Japanese Knotweed. It took me weeks to restore everything to normal.

Hi clive, all my bm's still exist and my other isp(ntl) is still on my system(I just have to reset proxy settings)i'm just thought i'd pounce a months free acsess out of em! Thats karma for you.
ab

Ah, the evilness of AOL... thankfully I don't use it as an ISP, but I use the Instant Messanging... it just knocked me off a few minutes ago. It enjoys driving me crazy, even if I don't use the real thing....
