h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It has to be *the* most annoying thing when you're email starts to b****r up. Seems as if everyone's emails are being bounced back tonight. I don't know *why* this is happening...it was fine earlier (I think anyway)...apologies to all...

It's even more annoying when your whole bloody computer starts to b****r up. Like mine this morning.

Well technically my email is the center of my whole access to you folks. If it doesn't work, I'm screwed!! Hence why I am only online *now*... And why I had no emails in my inbox either.

Yup - know what you mean. I installed something that didn't work properly, then it wouldn't uninstall, ans in the meantime I couldn't go online because my firewall wasn't working. Then I eventually got this thing off my PC and something went wrong with ntl so although my pooter was working I still couldn't get online. Sheesh!

Occasionally ntl tells people who email me that I don't exist, but I'm sure that I did last time I looked.

Anyhow it's all going again now, but I'm off out in a few minutes for the Curry Crawl - mmmm curry!

I fancy some Chilli Con Carne now.

I *think* my email is back to working now. Think it's just Telewest being crap again...

Errrm - no it's not. I just sent you an email (it didn't say anything - just here's an email 'cause your inbox is empty) and was about to switch off to go out when my mail cockroach (I've a little animated cockroach that scuttles on screen when I've got mail) informed me that it had got bounced. Sorry.

Telewest, BT, ntl - they're all crap because they don't have to care. Anyhow, off out now - I'll try it again next time I'm online.

I don't know what is happening then. Time to change my email box for a while I guess.
Have a good night!

Woo hoo!

What do you mean "Woo Hoo"?

Woo hoo! Your email is back up!

No it's bloody not!


And I want a cockroach too!!

Right, let me just explain that I am very confused about my email. I'm not the most technical of people.

What's the problem, sat?

I always like it when you phone up about email problems and they tell you to send an email with the details.

It's Telwest stuff njan, nothing you coud help with unfortunately.

I spoke too soon. I received your email, but the one I sent in response got bounced.

aww.. okay.. * at telewest*.. I've dealt with them before, they suck.

Sat, I know you are offline right now but when you are back, do you have any other options? I know you access through a digibox but you know how useful real net access is after I sent you all those job opportunities. Could you use an old computer? I might have one at work if you want- very slow but a good start.

No other options right now. Unfortunately, more important things to spend cash on. As soon as I can get online, I will. might have to use the library soon (I hate filters though, so maybe not). Craig, be patient...

Wot, I can't give you stuff we would otherwise throw out?
