Technical Problem
|
|
Hi guys we seem to have a technical problem with
the whats new page as it has,nt updated since the 31 of December, also
all your personal profiles only contain your contributions up to the
same date. the only way to check that there are any new posts is to
bring up the discussion page, if we leave it for a bit MSN will probably
sort it in due course.

This boat John, what sort is it ? .. can we all get
on it? .. are we on frozen water ? ... shall I get out and push? .. can
we use it on the sea? .. Guess I`ll just have to get get out and
see which way it`s pointing ... you`re not related to a bloke called
Noah are you? ...

Might be a punt Bill, then we could slide it across the ice.

Sorry to mislead guys, but it was a metaphoric boat. Not quite sure what you'd do with one of those!
I like the idea of Stu's punt best!

I have reported the problem to Microsoft
Your Support Ticket Number: 1122071479

Anth/Tony et al, Microsoft will probably blame the
problem on the weather. I see in UK and Europe the weather is
getting the blame for almost everything. Over here, where I
have just had my second day of 40C, it is similar with Melbourne people
being told to go home early or stay at work late because of public
transport problems with the heat. Thats my contribution for
Jan so see you in Feb. Ken

Hi all.
Thanks for reporting the problem, Anth. You are a braver man than I am Gunga Din.
Whenever I try to report anything it usually turns belly up, don't have much success with these people for some reason.
I usually get my daughter in law to do it, she lashes 'em with her
tongue for a bit, cuts better than any knife, it does, and sudenly
the problem is solved!
I hope that Microsoft don't read these gems of wisdom or they will
probaby conclude that we are all a bit nutty anyway. Now back to the
real world. Has anybody told Parrotty, 'cos she probably knows the
answer to the problem. Very intelligent birds, parrots!
Know what you mean about the wether, Ken, gets the blame for most
things. It thawed a little today, the temperature was a balmy two
degrees C. Unfortunately, now its freezing again and there is more snow
forecast fr tomorrow and Wednesday...... Happy days........
For some impression of the conditions see the piccies in 'My village in the snow'.
Have fun all.
Sticky.

Hi All,
Yes Sticky did look at your village photographs and they are great.
Had another day of 41C today. Outside is like having your wife's hair
drier on full bore and aimed straight at your face. It is now
8.30pm and my little Swiss weather station is showing 32C outside.
It normally cools down a fair bit at night here. I thought my
weather station only went to 40C because it stayed on that temp for 5
hours yesterday but today it got to 41C. My roses and dahlia's are
being water twice a day and still drooping with there leaves starting
to fry. We are suppose to get a cool change tomorrow, we
certainly need it. Hope Nadia is the lady from Microsoft and
not Sofia or some like place selling viagra or looking for a
partner. Ken

These days Ken, Nadia more likely to come from
Russia or the Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania et al are already part of the
EU and they don't need to get married to one of us to gain easy
entry into Britain anymore, they just come anyway and sign on!
It's positively balmy here today, at least +3 C, I'm off to the beach to top up the tan, NOT!

Hi all
Been about the same here Stu, but gone cold tonight and snowing heavily again now.
I guess you are probably the same. I was going to say in the same boat, but look what happened last time!

Guys we have had a cool change today, 35C but going down to 15
overnight. Shud have known about the EU and the countries involved.
I do read all the Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin books and get to watch
the Eurovision Song contest and see plenty of the Bill. Just not
thinking bibi 4 now. Ken (Labour/Labor but not red).

Timsbury weather staion here ... the snow
re-appeared with a vengeance last night. Lots of sticky stuff all over
the bushes and trees. Had to get the 30ft pole out and shift it off a
tall specimen in the front garden, (branches bend & snap in heavy
snow). Everywhere is white and we now have 9in to 1ft on the driveway
and gardens. I`ve just put another 100ltrs of oil back into the old tank
to keep us going until the thaw.
Rain has now arrived a few minutes ago, yes real heavy rain ..
things are melting .. but we have to be careful on the roads still as
there is thick ice between the layers of snow. I haven`t seen any boats
stranded on the Sleight (tall hill opposite us), so I guess it`s not
time for Noah to call on us yet. We have been inundated with Field Fares
and Blackbirds since I cleared off the Cotoneaster bush and exposed the
berries. Birds are also enjoying the cheese, bread and grain / seeds
too.
I was going to take piccys, but I`m going to wait until the sun
breaks through, as it will just look bland and very very white. I guess
most of you (apart from those in sunnnier climes) are coping o.k. Just
had a delivery from Preston (via Bristol) from CPC, guys delivering are
having problems with our minor roads. A few hills are considered
too unsafe for even 4 wheel drive vehicles at the moment.
I` m sending Carole out for more provisions (well, she said
she needs the execrcise and fresh air). She has a new device that
connects to the USB port on her laptop, it`s a electronic cigarette. She
is trying to wean herself of the dreaded weed. Catch you guys later on
...

Saw an item on the southern news programme on tv
this evening - why do Poole and Bournemouth always escape the worst of
the weather? It seems to be true enough but I wasn't convinced by
the lady forecaster's explanation although she did have nice legs. Fact
is I haven't had a decent walk for two weeks until today. Got out on
Canford Heath today with friends. See www.thewednesdaywalkers.blogspot.com There
was some snow and slush up on the heath but the roads to and from were
absolutely clear. Signs that the worst of the snow is now past? Fingers
crossed.

Electronic fags Bill? well technology seems to have
got away from me at last, (secretly it did quite a long time ago), tell
Carole the best way is just to stop and go cold turkey, I found that a
heart attack is quite a good way to quit, I gave up instantly 4 years
ago never looked back.
Snow's largely disappeared today, been quite mild down here, thank
goodness, looks OK in pictures but these days I prefer it to be
elsewhere.
David, Bournmouth and Poole, like the area directly around Bideford
Bay traditionally have the highest average temperatures around the UK,
probably explains the lack of snow in both areas, even though we
have had some this side, we're north facing, the hills at Saunton
on the opposite side to us have been uncovered throughout, got nothing
to do with the weather girls legs either, nice distraction from the
forecast though!!
Ken, you've got to be a bit careful mentioning the name Peter
Robinson at the moment, now I know who you mean, and agree he's a great
read, but there's the other Peter Robinson, prominent NI politician, and
his 60 year old homophobic, bible quoting wife who's just been outed
for having an affair with a 19 year old chef, for anyone who's
interested, or as devient as myself, there's a nice parody of Simon and
Garfunkels rendering of "Mrs Robinson" on You Tube, I'll try and find
the link and post the URL for those interested.

Message from Carole ... she would like you all to
know that she has to live with me 24/7 now ... "cold turkey" does not
come easy to a "hot chick" ... even in winter !
