   I think it's the order, delivery and payment details for a DIY arch forming kit that you (or someone impersontaing you) ordered last week along with a package holiday and what looks like a 'string'??
   Ugh! I'm trying hard to keep an image of Eddie in a thong on the beach out of my mind.

   or should that be - I'm out of my mind keeping an image of Eddie in a thong on the beach.....

    Has your computer tried looking down the back of the sofa? That's where I always lose my MT/XMLRPC.pms.

    Eddie,

    I am sorry but that is the worst haiku I have ever read.

    Its not "modern" and quite frankly it isn't fit to be printed.

    Why must the ´óÏó´«Ã½ license payer pay for your half-hearted and downright amateur poetry??

    Yet again its the likes of us who have to foot the bill while others are sipping champagne in London laughing at us over their croissants.

    Reworded from George Formby's "When I'm Cleaning Windows"

    Now I go fixing Windows
    To earn an honest bob
    For a computer whiz kid
    It's an interestin' job

    Now it's a job that just suits me
    A Windows fixer you would be
    If you saw what’s on this PC
    When I’m fixing Windows

    Windows XP, Vista too
    You’ll have seen them nothing new
    You'd be surprised what PCs do
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    The user dating on the Net
    Looking for it you can bet
    I'd rather have that than a pet
    When I’m fixing Windows

    The web designer has a thought
    A new domain he has just bought
    Sticks his USB in the port
    When I’m fixing Windows

    I know a fella, such a fool
    He wastes his time, that's his rule
    While he’s about he looks so cool
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    DVDs lyin’ side by side
    Sexy ladies I have spied
    I've often seen what goes inside
    When I’m fixing Windows

    ------ banjo ------

    A famous screensaver’s been seen
    It looks a flapper on the screen
    It's more like flashing but it’s clean
    When I’m fixing Windows

    It pulls the clothes off down behind
    Then pulls off her... never mind
    It’s amazing what clutter I find
    When I’m fixing Windows

    In my profession I'll work hard
    But I'll never stop
    To stop domination by Gates
    Who tries to stay on top

    An old maid’s profile goes online
    She's so fed up, but that is fine
    She's happy once she has seen mine
    When I’m fixing Windows

    When I’m fixing Windows

    ...turned out nice again.

    Lunchtime..?

    Not if the new Blogs on a Bus and stuck in the dreadful snow we've had

    Assuming, of course, it's on the right Bus

    And, if it was "posted" or couriered... it'll likely be gone for ever - think NHS, DVLC etc

    Oh Dear!

    New Blog, R.I.P.

    I see there's a new bit of test under the main thread topic, telling us we all need to be logged in.... I think things are moving, folks!

    I keep seeing this recurring in your error message, Eddie:
    "SSLeay"

    Would this message have anything to do with Mr. Leay of World at One fame, then?

    SSLeay (in your error message) - Would that be the same SLeay who presents the World at One?

    Anyway guys, my new nom-de-frog as above, as someone else had already taken "Deepthought", and it was not me in the past.
