      I'm going to let GC have a rest overnight here and will try again tomorrow. I will also reset my router to see if that restores warp speed.

      Thanks, @redstar. Will give that a read.

      Downdetector website shows a lot of outages for Plusnet at the moment. We often have a problem at this peak time and have to reboot. It's then usually OK. Hubby is just seeing to his blood pressure tablets then will go on the desktop and have a look. But I think it's Plusnet. I'm going to get the dinner so I'm signing off - but it's OK on mobile so GC must be OK.

      Happy Birthday FC!

          Seems much better this morning! :dbgrtmb: Crisis over.

          @redstar, I don’t disagree with anything in that article. I would be hard pushed to speak of Biden’s “achievements” positively. It does not change my view that Zelensky is not the one at fault here.

          The trouble with wars (aside from the tragedy of civilian life loss and community destruction) is these are funded by tax payers … but the spoils of peace (rebuild contracts, possible mineral rights, etc) are siphoned off by the very wealthy, so ordinary folk never get paid back.

          @cactus_girl, did hubby need his BP pills because he was about to tangle with the desktop, or were these two things unconnected. :biggrin:

            @ViewAhead I wish the BP pills would act that fast. IT does get hubby's BP up, but everything else does too! He's adjusting to new tabs and is experimenting cutting capsules in half and sealing the halves with butter to stop the powder falling out. I'm just leaving him to it!

            Both WiFi and mobile connections are working fine now and I see another thread is now discussing this, so I will not comment further on here.
