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...

Ah, but if you keep them in captivity and feed them just cocoa, hazelnuts n' coffee beans, you can save yerself a bucketload on those expensive Nescafe` special blends....
Oh, and they're cunning little buggers so ya gotta keep yer tea bags n' Bovril under lock n' key....your Fourex too, otherwise the resulting blend is none too pleasant.
Been trying to devise a way to get piping hot coffee with an expresso attachment, but I keep finding 'em sitting in a tub of chilled water...oh well, iced coffee it is, then....

Update on U.K internet outtage. Apparently it were no accident, nor an equipment failure, either.....
Seems I have a Brit relative of rather dubious character who wanted to unfreeze his frozen assets.....Brit net was down to remove all his ill-gotten gain from the Bank Of England and have it deposited in a Swiss bank.
Now I know who to see about a (more permanent than usual) loan...."Hey unc', got a few spare quid (you don't want the police or IRS to find) floating around that I could borrow? Now I'm unc-dependently wealthy, I can stop answering all those Nigerian emails.

Perhaps they could share the position....no point in half measures, now, is there!!!
Dunno about meaning 'something else'....Patsy & Eddie (Lumley & Saunders) have turned champagne guzzling and toking into a fine art, so perhaps they should have a special Cabinet post created to ensure Brits aren't short changed and partake only of quality joints that are neither unhealthy or too thin.
Maybe they could become Export Ministers as well....so Oz ain't missing out.
