GardenersCorner downtime

Indeed much faster, by putting ziggy on a exercise bike and hooking that up to the server we can greatly increase speed

downside is the greatly increased need for chocolate hobnobs.

 

I wondered why there was a bottle of wine on a bit of string in front of the office excercise bike

 

Why change your Hosta? Is it not growing?
Where's the Valium?

 

Nathan is changing the Hosta for a more slug resistant variety Gcc.

The Valium is on top of the bathroom cabinet, next to the shaving brush

 

A bottle of wine..........drunk in charge of an exercise bike, does that put points on your licence Ziggy!

 

Rich and Nate have very carefully measured the bit of string, you can't reach it from the bike & if you stop peddaling the lights go out

 

So when is the down time likely to be?
I dont use Twitter.

Bit of a side issue regarding speed, but Virgin Media has supposedly doubled my broadband speed.
I'm finding everything is now slower, the Virgin site is probably the worst of any I use.
Pages take ages to load now I'm on the new double speed.

I was going to complain, but in order to do that you have to be able to actually contact someone, and as far as I can tell, nobody actually works for Virgin, the whole set up is automated with very silly voices churning out the same old stuff which is no help what so ever.
I think they have all disappeared into the wide Blueyonder

I was even asked to press 1 or 2 etc to chose what stupid music I want to hear while I sit and wait until midnight, when Bombay takes over the call centre, and I get to speak to a person, not able to help, but, a person.

If Richard Branston is looking in, I suggest you stick to making pickle, mate, its more your style.

 

The first time I phoned an ISP's contact number for lack of internet service and got a recorded message suggesting I look on their website for the answer, I realised I was on my own and sorted it myself.

Have 'bookmarked' that twitter link.

Yes John, the new "super hub", they sent me one, but things have slowed down since I connected it.
Maybe I need to run it in for 500hours or something.
BTW, are you supposed to turn these things off, I always do when I've finished with it but I find a lot of people who say they leave them on permanently.
