´óÏó´«Ã½

Do you think some people need to keep a better sense of perspective?

   Generally, in real world, seasons are ruined because of excessive weather pattern or some devatating personal development (like loss of a friend or family). Glad to know summers for some can be so fragile.

   I think the listener log may also have included the following:

   BLOGGING ALLOWED

   " I want the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to finish with Room 502. It gives the most patronising, ghastly and irritating message. I was devastated to find out that you are going ahead with a programme about blogging while your own blog has become unusable. It totally ruined my morning."

   It is so tempting to write something here, but as I keep getting bounced I don't think I should.

   I wrote something about Banbury earlier, but doubt if it got through.

   It's just a conspiracy by other blog owners to keep down the total number of entries on Eddie's blog. Were it not for the problems, there'd be over 100,000 by now.

    Dear Feedback,

    I have spent all morning trying to send a message to the furrowed brow, constantly being rebuffed by the 502 message. Now, when I check again, I see it has arrived twice making me look like a twit. This has totally ruined my summer.

    PS I have a patronising, ghastly and irritating voice. Can I blame this on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ as well?

    502 Count: 1

    I don't know about a sense of perspective but now I'm retired, time has less importance and I'm never quite sure what day of the week it is. I had a vague idea that today is Friday but Tuesday's PM newsletter has just arrived. Who is right, Eddie? Or am I/are you/ are we in a time warp?

    And the comments about the anti-Laurie listener (actually, I like him and his programme), but wonder what prompted our Eric to post about this log item?

    OK, so the frog was behaving itself when I posted yesterday...is it still behaving itself today?

    Personally, I haven't experienced a 502 for a while. I don't know whether it's my Firefox setup or my impatience, but if nothing's happened 30 seconds after submitting, I escape and try again until either (a) it gets through or (b) I get a comment submission error.

    Attempt:
    1: Cancelled after 60s waiting.
    2: Cancelled after 30s waiting - I knew yesterday was too good to be true!

    Now isn't that puzzling?
    Three copies here, and two on the refuge.
    Talk about unintentional spamming!

    As you probably gather from above, each time I tried to send it, Firefox was still claiming it was "Waiting for www.bbc.co.uk..." after 30 seconds, so I cancelled, updated the post, then tried resubmitting.

    Oh well, at least there weren't any "Comment Submission Error"s...

    (Attempt 3/5 - given the way this blog is misbehaving at the moment, hopefully at least one of these five cancelled submissions will make it!)

    I get 502s from here:

    as well.

    It's a bbc-blog-wide-cockup!

    Hmmm... I can see your point, Eddie, but I used to harbour similar strong feelings knowing that the licence fee was being used to keep that non journalist Natasha Kaplinsky in fancy haircuts.

    Luckily she has packed her packed for Five, who are welcome to her...
