It's been slower than a very, very slow thing for weeks here and at work.

Seems fine from here. I browse the news pages everyday and haven't found them at all sluggish
lately. Just had a bit of a plow through the radio and tv stuff too and no problems there either.

Are you sure there isn't an owl nesting in your pc? Bloody owls get everywhere you know...

It's ok for me now but it was completely unobtainable for a while on Wednesday evening for me and

Yep, streaming audio works fine, even all the way to Oz. Good news about the pole barn eh? :-)

As a (sadly lapsed) member of the Eddie Grundy Fan Club, I can't but agree - but other than that I

Hmmm. Does the Snell standard mean your plastic hat can withstand being patronised for a given
period of time?

I saw a shirt at York with "Dum Di Dum Di Dum Di Dum" on it - private smiles were exchanged between
the owner and other Initiates ;-)

That's right, side with the nasty developer who is plotting to concrete over Ambridge and make it
