General Chat

Despite all the erudite and learned posts regarding the recent problems with the dreaded error message and possible causes thereof, and my having done nothing to my old steam driven PC, for the last two days I've had no problems whatsoever :-D

As I have done nothing at my end, I presume that GR has done something at its end :-D :-D

However it has been solved, thank you GR staff! :-D :-D

Oh blimey now you've gone and done it Allan :-D :-D

I love playing with fire, which is why I'm always arson around ;-)

:-D :-D

:-D :-D

Allan, surely you overrode the suidgely wotsit and re-camferred the x+y thingymajig on the whatsermacallit :-D

Oh - and bought a totalwasteofmoney from the 'Iknowwhatyoureallywanttobetrendy' website.

And pressed the fast forward button ez :-D :-D

Oh, and installed a new power supply!

I replaced my old single pass Cornish boiler with a three pass Lancashire boiler to take advantage of the lower cost of coking coal ;-) :-D :-D

It worked then?
Even for us wrinkly old f*rts (as opposed to the 'trendy' old f*arts)?
Do you think 'trendy' old f*rts have wrinkles, or just a smooth plasticised photocopied exterior, with a rankled, withered interior?

I don't have the answer to that one, Maggie, but I do know that one is never alone with a clone.

Perhaps some of the new gizmos have such a feature where by simply pressing a button you can churn out carbon copies of yourself willy-nilly ,( or even willy- plussy if you so desire) ;-)

A bit like photocopying your own backside at office parties in a by-gone era :-D :-D :-D

Nothing wrong with a Cornish Boiler - my avatar is proof!

There was nothing wrong with mine, but the Lancashire G7 boiler with steam app had just been released (or perhaps it escaped) and I just had to be the first one to own the beastie ;-) :-D :-D :-D

My relatives used to be old f*rts :-D

You two are a riot.

But Allan please tell did you really not fast forward?

Yes, and what a shock! :-0

I just managed to pause myself before I fell into my own grave :-P :-D :-D :-D

The only problem with the new boiler is that I have to reintroduce that fine old Northern tradition of keeping the coal in the bath ;-)

OH wasn't too pleased as we have a shower over the bath, but as I logically pointed out, it is now winter in OZ so who needs a shower :-D :-D

Thank you for that information on the errors, Allan. I wouldn't have known they had fixed anything otherwise. Now I can get to page 2000 on the big threads in the blink of an eye.

Don't stop fiddling with it Allan, it works a treat ;-)

Still get the error if I try to use advanced search.

Just thought I would try to see if they had fixed that.

O'er, Kathryn, I know not to what you allude. :-0

Mine's still working but sometimes the vertical hold slips and my horizontal hold is something to behold in the mirror ;-)

With my new gizmo I have decided to increase my external storage from 10 giganiggles to 5 terramoans by installing a mark 10 bath in the downstairs loo.

OH was livid about the cost (hence the increase from niggles to moans), but as I reasonably pointed out to her, the distance she would need to carry the buckets of coal had decreased resulting in a faster operating time :-D :-D

My apologies, Maggie, I now realise the origin of the question you posed re wrinkly old f*rts.

Unlike the phantom RR'r, I find it very hard to monitor all posts across the boards.

I have only just caught up on Dermot's 'Brainwashing' Thread

I'm ashamed to admit that the last time I underwent a brainwashing therapy, said organ was taken out to dry and they forgot to re-insert it












;-) :-D :-D

I still get the dreaded error page constantly so it's not been fixed :-(
