Pub Closed #2
« on: September 28, 2007, 12:06:39 PM »
Today is the day!

Pub will be closed from 17:30 UK time and should be open again from early Monday morning at the latest ? if you are desperate try logging-on from Sunday.

Note that from Monday the only address that will work is: -

I have everybody?s e-mail address so if there is some disaster or we need to change the settings for any reason I can let you know.

Mozo put in a brief appearance this morning.
I assumed he was going to give us a rendition of "And he played his ukulele as the ship went down"

For those that don't know it
Quote
I'll tell you the tale of the Nancy Lee,
The ship that got shipwrecked at sea
The bravest man was Captain Brown,
'Cause he played his ukulele as the ship went down.

Chorus:
All the crew was in despair,
Some rushed here and some rushed there,
But the Captain sat in the Captain's chair,
And he played his ukulele as the ship went down.

The Captain said to Seaman Jones:
"You'd best put on your working clothes
While you stand and spray your hose
I can play me ukulele as the ship goes down."

The owners signalled to the crew, saying:
"Do the best that you can do.
We're only insured for half-a-crown,
We'll be out of pocket if the ship goes down."

The Captain's wife was on board ship,
And he was very glad of it
But she could swim and she might not drown
So we tied her to the anchor as the ship went down.

The crow's nest fell and killed the crow,
The starboard watch was two hours slow
But the Captain sang fal-oh-de-oh-doh
And he played his ukulele as the ship went down

Well, if you are seriously interested?

[boffin] When you move a web site to another ISP the ?nameservers? all over the world that know where your website is have to update themselves.

So if you are logged-on to the ?tinterweb in Birmingham or Bogot? and type our address they know where the site is now located.

It?s the updating process that can take up to 48 hours.. [/boffin]

I think we should all hold hands and sing, "Auld lang sine"

All together now boys and girls, and be brave no bloody  cry: ing

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?


For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
