CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Bright sunshine here but cool. Priscilla if it's affecting BT as well as Telewest the problem must be horrendous!! Just think of all those boxes with thousands of wires all mixed up. Or maybe it's just a satallite that has slipped of its pedestal.

Opto - your email system working again yet?
More tea required, my typing fingers (all 4 of them LOL) are working
overtime - I keep saying I'll learn to touch type, but when you've
muddled through for more years then you can remember and actually got
reasonably fast for the equivalant of a one handed 'real' typist
the slowing down to learn to do it properly doesn't come easily!
I'll just refill my 5 insulated thermos tea-pots and I'll be on my way
again!!
:>)

Opto - think your email is still down - just a quick word
well epic really (lol) PAG - have a peer at the intraday
:>)
(one beaming bunny!)

Yes email is still down Bunny, been watching PAG...happy times are
here again:-)) HCEG doing OK as well. Have to go to town now pick up my new optics that needed adjustment. Why (how) new lenses need adjustment I don't know seems a bit odd to me. Will see how it goes, if I can when I come out of the shop!

Good luck Opto!
My floppy drive just had a form of nervous breakdown! LOL
Very strange!!

Ok people - quick lunch due to a busy bunny

Spaghetti and spicy meat balls
Spaghetti with spinach and mushrooms in a cream sauce
Spaghetti with sun dried tomato and garlic sauce
Spaghetti hoops with toast

(Well it can't be said we don't cater for everyone in here!)
:>)

Ah! Bunny at last a familiar face, even if you are fetching the meatballs out of the oven with your little white scut uppermost, I'v only just arrived at this alternative establishment have taken this long to drag the Budha all the way over here. Will find a corner in which to indulge myself with some of your spaghetti and mushrooms then i'll have a look around for somewhere to put my slippers.

Well there must be something wrong! I was crediting all the callers to my mobile as having the extra brain cell in realizing my landline was down. (Well, most were female!) But it appears BT have re-routed all my calls to the mobile which sort-of tells me they're not planning on rectifying the fault in the immediate future.....! My landline now has a 'pulsing' dial tone instead of silence, but it is still useless for all practical purposes.

Large kir....and a couple of those yummy parmesan biscuits, please!

Opto: seems a big power failure at Redbus could be responsible for our outages.

Another kir, please......! Nothing else to do until phone line comes back properly.

Global Flyer now over the atlantic at 44000 feet, travelled about 3500 miles and should be in africa in about 90 minutes.

Telewest email problems appear to be resolved.

Loads - hello! Long time no see, how's things?
You can put the buddha wherever you wish and your slippers can
always sit by the log fire to keep warm. :>)

Opto - ah-ha - communications back now?

Not here, sadly. Telephone still making pulsating ring-tone sounds.

Hmmm well it is Spring Priscilla...could it be a
mating call from your phone in the hope of connecting with
a suitable mate?
;>)

Seriously, it's not funny at all and I hope they resolve it
quickly for you - it's at moments like these that the world
and its mother always tries to get hold of you!

Priscilla, a pulsing dial tone means you have a message. Dial 1571 and delete it. The pulsing will change to continuous and your modem will be able to dial out again.
Well that's what happens on my BT 'phone.

How curious! I don't have call minder or BT answer, so that's very perplexing but I did try your suggestion and the example they gave of the pulsating dial tone was exactly what I have. So I'm even more bewildered than before! But I can now dial out it would appear. I just have to live with a weird dial tone.

My modem never cut out....it's the happy bit. The voice line went dippy but the internet was fine.

I still hate work....

Those of us in the coffee house are going to have LDC for tea, Spaceman.....don't you wish you were free to join us?!

edit: ....with extra drizzle, by special request.

Don't worry, I bet Ian T will eat your slice, Spacey.....

Yes a slice would go down well with my cup of tea
Priscilla - thanks! :>)

Ok going to leave you all to it - it's been a good day!!
