If I disappear for a day or so....soon......in the next few days

Von and I are changing our server (?) to save flushing £30+ or so 'down the toilet' each month.

If it goes smoothly, (HAH !!!!!!)  I'll be well pleased.

Cheers - Phil

... though of course the problem with rural Wales is the Welsh. By that I mean the language and not the people ...

Welsh is, of course, devoid of any useful vowels. In rural Wales, there is a lot of Welsh spoken, but there aren't any vowels used. Thus, the servers are clogged up with excess vowels that would normally be used by English speakers. To get around this, most routers and servers in rural Wales are fitted with vowel traps which capture the loose vowels. If these aren't cleaned regularly they can lead to slowing of internet connections, brown outs and even stoppages.

And that's true.

Good luck with the change over!
We are currently in www. hell. org. DSL is toast - Kafka trained the support staff - and our switch to cable is on hold while all the various utilities mark their underground lines - all this before cable can even be scheduled to be installed.

Unlike Welsh with its need for vowel traps, we all speak Southern Hillbilly which means the routers around here need to use both diphthong suppressors and consonant accelerators. This is an extra $3.50 per month.

I'm waiting for some sort of 'router' to turn up.....to swap with the 'bright box' that's currently plugged into the tower.

I just KNOW it's going to be a complete intercourse up, before I get it working, in a couple of days. (Once I unplug 'one thing' and put the other wossname in its place.)

In south Liverpool the servers get clogged up with excess phlegm. Thank goodness the north Liverpool accent is less harsh.

Right Chaps.

When Techno re-appears I think we ought to try and sever his last few shreds of sanity. I suggest the following:

a) Making it appear that he has posted something naughty:
"Well Techno, I certainly can't agree to that. Perhaps a moderator could adjudicate?"

b) Language difficulty

Ich wechsle zu IHRE Firma, Mark .... Wenn ich Probleme bekomme, werde ich wahrscheinlich DICH anrufen
"Techno, you may want to check out your language settings."

c) Keyboard problems

I'n switching uver to YUUR firn, Nbrk....Su if I get prublems I'll prubbbly cbll YUU
"Think you need to cbll Nbrk."

d) Pretend he isn't here.
"Anyone heard from Techno? Haven't seen a post from him in days"

e) Respond in "slow" mode
"N      i      c e          t         o     s          e                            e                      yo u            b  a               c                k, Tec                hn          o                   "

f) Missing words round
"Hey Techno, hope your is working better than the one. About time you stopped about and did some."
