CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

nope, latest java is in, i just tried with firewall off, just coupla days ago stopped working, just sticks on connecting to stream, java console says threads timedout

Nofi most odd, could try reinstalling Java or why not email am they will do their best to help, sometimes Ian will pick up on posts like yours but obviously he can't read every posting. Good luck opto
Oh BTW keep that firewall on!!

clicked wrong box

nofo, are you using a proxy?

aha, yes, its the new webshield on avast antivirus, didnt even know it had been updated (automatic), i just switched it off and hey presto, its all working again, seems to have blocked port 80 which i assume that java is using for this sites java stuff, so if anyone else has same problem, need to ditch web shield in avast, probably just wants tweaking. Ill let u know what i find.

Nofi,

Sorry I didn't pick up on your post. This would indicate a firewall issue, but as Spaceman says it could well be a proxy server inbetween you and us.

You could also try clearing your temp internet files as well and see if that make a difference, or it could be a setting within your browser which is restricting Java.

Try to reinstall Java from the link below:

Nofi,

Looks like our posts crossed - glad all is sorted and thank you for the info on Avast.

Hello, Socco's back.

Priscilla
What have you done to DYS? When I left it was at 4.

I made the mistake of posting up the Press Release from www.dyson.co.uk and the MMs read it! I think a few small retail shareholders also realized their mistake and sold. Heaven knows how many 'Hoover-Holders' there are on our share register, Socks!

Welcome back, by the way, and I'll try and nudge up the price for you again soon.

Socco's back in town....sherry trifles all round!!

Certainly!!! :>)
Well you are all on either Indian or Chinese this lunchtime as
the bunny has things to do - unless someone would like to
man the kitchen for lunch today?????

(Of course we do have the usual available in the fridge, just
requiring cooking - haddock fish fingers, cornish pasties etc)

New game for those who need a rest from the market...

I'll settle for your nudges anytime.

Since I've had no sherry trifle for four whole days I had better have a bowl full now.

Bunny, It wil have to be fish fingers for me as its Indian tonight.

If anyone is peckish, I have just knocked up some pork escalopes with an onion sauce filling, roast potatoes, garden peas and cauliflower in white sauce. Nothing special, I just wanted a snack.

Oh I'm impressed Socs! I'll have to pop out more often!
:>)

Bunny
It's only a snack you understand, I'm much better with a proper dinner.

It's OK, Socks. I'm sure Bunny wasn't going to ask for references!

I hope you notice the real DYS is creeping slowly. But what level did you get to on the game, eh?

I have managed to find myself a nice cake and I am not going to let Spaceman have any of it, its nearly as big as me. Here is a picture of it



Spaceman is a bit fed up at the moment because he doesnt like working, he told me he might pack it in in a couple of weeks time. I dont mind so long as he doesnt keep eating all my lemon drizzle cake.

And I had a lovely Jam Donut from that nice Mr MightyMicro earlier, I am a bit worried that I will end up as fat as Spaceman !!

Well even if he is technically at work, unless you want to
share that Lamby I'd get eating if I were you - you never
know when he'll appear as if by magic.
