It dundidit again


I got lost too

Yeah it did it to me again, too.

B*stards!!

Hootoo has been glitchy off and on for three or four weeks now. I keep getting on and my personal page has disappeared, replaced by a researcher number. That is the worst. Thank goodness it always comes back later.

I highlight and copy everything right before I hit post, so that if h2 goes haywire, I can just paste it back in. I don't do it all the time, but if hootoo is glitchy, I do it.

Me, too, I've learned that lesson the "hard" way!

just when i gat back on the internet, is hootoo gonna start going again? Maybe it's just the American end, So far i am OK, but if any sily old trout starts messing with my Classic "ya hear that:Classic" goo skin, oh dearie me....

zdt

its here in the UK too

Hmm, so far it's not hit frogland, i am in Gooby goo blue goo, & also twice as fast as usual. But no doubt will get swiped soon, unless "they" forget we exist, not many hootoo frogs, we don't even get a smiley of our own!

Many times in the past i have been told "Resarrcher number ****** has not got round to creating an introduction" stuff, i just hope & pray it all comes back & go away & do something useful like w**k or plot world domination until it does.

It's a Buddhist plot i reckon. Om.

You are so funny Terri!

ohm...



Well got here already...thanks everyone for grumbling about it, I feel much better about my strop

BBC evil plot - yes I think so too, they are testing our limits and doing a world widescheme to check peeps tolerance to changes.

Well - we want to use, what WE WANT TO USE...ya HEAR?

No changes with out official prior notice.

We expect a FREE, glitch free and fast service with no adverts, is that too much to ask?





Oh and I c&p too, but yesterday after numerous attempts at that, whilst waiting for my page to load, I was off elsewhere c&p'ing stuff happily as do whilst waiting and not putting the original in a notepad...came back and of course the page had gone and when I clicked back, naturally that didn't work either...

So moral of that story if your being long winded - c&p AND stick it in a notepad just in case..when your surfing around radom c&p'ing waiting for other shizzle to 'appen.



Jeezuz all I want to do is simply post here n' there, I hate contengincy plans, doesn't come out as spontanous then...*muttered grumbles*

Well here goes....post message.....

It ing did it again
I hate Alabaster

I squoke too soon about it being Ok for me. Just tried 3 times to post a reply to JEllen on Birds eye (or was it PC's journal?) & got "Server error 502" No alabaster stuff as yet.

They are probably trying to turn us all into greek classical statues to use for the closing ceremony of the olympics.

Pass the steroids my friends; D'you reckon they would bother testing us? They might find all sorts of stuff! How's the abilify going JEllen? (She is probably secretly in training for the Olympic canoeing team)

Conspiracy Theory ALERT

apparently for the duration of the Olympics the BBC isn't running its Listen Again service to save bandwidth and other techno-babble things

could they be doing something similar to hootoo
just a (paranoid) thought

och eye the noo..but its crapola again...

Conspiracy...yes makes perfect sense...we have been down graded for olympian events

Beeb
ing won't get any licence fee off me again

*hehehe* TV licensing...Geo was unimpressed by that event in the UK...his face was horrified and when I showed him how much...he said that if TV companies tried to do that in the US there would be another civil war and people would be killed...!

I must admit tho it gives the Beeb incentive to get good varied programing on...I suppose...Nothing more frustrating when you have like 60 channels and there is STILL nuffink on... I literally feel my IQ going down as I surf channels...

I had trouble with my license when I moved house once (inna UK)....I didn't have a TV so they kept on buggin me with letters. I ignored them of course till the time came and I brought a TV license of course I didn't back date it because, well why should I?...then every year on the inbetween dates I didn't have a license they sent warnings...of course by then I had purchased a license and was covered for that period.

I never did have someone come around...but for about 4 years, these letters kept on coming when my license was due when in fact it was up to date and at least another 6 months left...

Ok, that was boring...perhaps I should move to the next post...

I moved into a flat in UK & within half an hour of arriving, some bloke was at the door "Where is your TV license?" i said "we don't have a TV!" he didn't believe me. At this point we were still unpacking, surrounded by boxes, i said "listen mate, do us all a favour, help unpack the bloody boxes & see if you can find a TV!"

He left.

I sent a stonkingly horrible letter to the TV license lot saying "Hey, i may be making scientific history here, i am living proof it is possible for human life to exist without television!"

I haven't personally owned a TV for 16 years. Mind you, if i did, i would have to pay some sort of licence here legally. But obviously i am happily exploiting the poor old Beeb 'cos i don't pay UK license but do use their online service shamelessly!

I expect I'll get a visit next Feb cos I'm not going to keep my tv after the licence runs out
nothing ever on and since I work evenings I'd probably forget to video it if there was
luckily my computer has a DVD player

I imagine having to get a TV license is kind of like the $100 a month I pay for cable. There's hardly ever anything on, and I've no idea why I keep it, except that I have cable internet, and the TV part is only $10 more.

Vix's hubby is right, if Americans had to get TV licenses, there would be another revolution, like the Boston TV Party or something. Thousands of sets floating off to sea... And yes, people would be killed.

Brilliant image PC!
