Famous last words Nick, with the power of Captain Calamity you are buggered now.


With that in mind, would you be interested in buying a castle......  whistle:

Unbeliever!

We used to wash keyboards in the sink and then leave them to dry - never had a problem.

PS - who made the server too busy? Could not get on for about 5 mins.

Is that an admission of guilt?

I've often wondered about such messages ~ how does one contact the "host" if the fvcking server is down rendering it impossible to email them or even when you try telephoning them they say "We are very busy please refer to our FAQs page at www. etc" which is another favourite. Why can't they simply say "System buggered, working on it, try again later" or an even more honest "We've got your money, now f*ck off because we are trying to mend something here"
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Classic!  lol:

I got a message last week when I tried to download something from the Welsh Assembly. It told me that it couldn't open the full file (Adobe) because my Version 6 was out of date. So I went to the Free Downloads page at Adobe and downloaded the updated version. Installed it on my PC, in the process it simply removed completely the version 6 I had. I was then able to download the document (38 pages of it ~ ever verbose these Welsh Government types). Now when I try to print anything in Abode I press the print key and the screen reverts to my home page and nothing prints. I have spoken to Adobe Help Desk at some length  Banghead  cussing:  censored:  Angry9: and they are baffled. Naturally I have removed it from the PC and re-downloaded it (six times in all) but the same problem every time. So now I cannot read or create PDFs.

They (the Adobe Unhelpful Desk) say it must be at my end. angry041:
