Wha ?
Perplexed 81st not gettin this at all...
Welcome back...I know that feeling about half finished ideas...
"It's been a while since my last blog......"
Makes me feel almost confessional.

It's not all about DRM y'know....

I'm quite fond of Nelson's penance - turn 'em into a bird table and see them cr***d on all day long. Better still set up a web came for all the other drives to see.......

I'm a cyclist I too counetd 13 and saw the bear....
-
But the moonwalking bear did make a good metaphor for cyclists. I notice the bear was not wearing any reflective clothing, just black fur, whilst intermingling with a swirling mass of black. Still, I suppose it's okay to be camouflaged if you're a bear. Not so good for cyclists.
I/O You are trying to wind me up right ?

I seem to recall my newsagent in Wales doing that a lot. Oh, and the guy at the pub. And the lady in the fish and chip shop (my great aunt), she was always nattering to "the customer" ...
Heh, but unlike the newsagent I don't thingk the guys on Bebo have been talking to the postie, who in my village it appeared had managed to tell the newsagent that I'd had a loans refusal letter delivered that morning. THus I learned about what was in my mail by buying a newspaper. Beat that web 2.0 !

Oh dear...and if a chap does read the instructions ?

You're no use at all to the unbundling ISPs. They pay a per-line rental rate, and the non-premium "ordinary" broadband services don't bring in enough to provide a viable margin.
Which is ineresting from my POV. I don't really need more bandwidth or more data (until I get ad-free decent IPTV). Funnily enough like Ben I really would like a fixed IP address.
My suspscion is the cost of a fixed IP will not be that far from the cost of ermmmmm an ISP hosting plan ?
Otherwise:
With apologies to both sides of the sexist language debate for being very patronising - It is not for one person to correct the sexist language or behaviour of another; Rather it is their duty to help the offednding party to correct themselves. As the wee spat has shown we have a no win on this one. Had a lot of practise with midwives and antenatal teachers just recently.
BTW. Could access orcon site, but couldn't get to the stage of actually buying a service...

Feck (No I'm not being glib just nothing else useful to say).

In a country that has chosen to make licensed prostitution legal; what exactly is the moral difference between this and a trip to the restaurant or a few tickets to the ballet (except that the ballet would be expensive and not necessarily much fun).
As for Phare FWIW there's an enemy for life. I'm acquainted with his kid, nice bloke, at the wrong age for all this sh*t though.
