UK internet bombs out...
Thursday, November 16, 2006 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: Internet
Today large parts of the UK's internet have gone missing. Sites such as Hotmail, MSN, NatWest bank, Sky etc are unreachable.
Various sources blame the outage on DNS problems, PSINet and the BT core router at Ilford.
All I know is I've no e-mail, bleh...

Same here in Oz, Fuzzy.....MSN, Hotmail, Yahoo all down/playing up. Guess that's what we get for being a former part of the British Empire.
Darned Yanks, eh!!! It began with the Boston Tea Party....now they're dissing UK.com to celebrate its anniversary.
Oh well, I can become accustomed to coffee....if I must.

Just don't RESEMBLE it too closely now, or ye'll be labeled DARNED fer life.
Nope, it was down long enough for the C.I.A. to infiltrate Tony Blair's online activities to see if they could dig up any dirt on him.....apparently they'd prefer Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) as U.K. PM.

Yes, Mr Bean for PM. At least he's funnier than that clown we have now.

Right on, Mr Bean for U.K. PM.
I can see it now....GWB summons him to the White House, and he drives his Mini Minor into the Oval Office, so as not to be late.
Oh, and Frank Spencer as Minister for War in a Bean Cabinet...instead of guns n' bombs, the enemy'd keel over laughing instead.
Sadly they're no more, but the Goons, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, Sid James & Spike Milligan could've filled the remaining Cabinet posts, with Barbara Windsor
as Entertainment Minister. Couldn't do any worse than the crowd you've already got....us too, for that matter. We've got lil Johnny short britches with Abbott & Costello running things around here.

And anuvver fing....if Ronald Reagan can become U.S. Presisent, then Mr Bean would make an excellent Brit PM, with Bill Oddie as Deputy PM....Graham Chapman as Home Secretary ....Screaming Lord Sutch as Minister for Culture....Reg Varney as Minister for Transport .....and 'Eddie Boothe' as MultiCultural Minister....
Oh, and let's not forget Jennifer Saunders & Joanna Lumley for joint Health Minister ...now that'd be absolutely fabulous...
