**appears in a cloud of smoke**

Hi. I'm back.

Is it just MY connection (again

) or is GB veeeeerrrryyyy slow to load today ?

**gets some coffee and waits for anyone to reply**

I'm afraid it's your connection again, mate

- GB loaded just fine here ** finishes his mug of C.C.B. and pours himself a Duff Dark **

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 4:28 am

Good to hear that, mate

.

I have the great pleasure to watch GB load like I'm connected with a 28.8 modem - OR SLOWER....**sighs**

So no SPAMming spree for me today...

**takes a can of beer from the fridge and relaxes while his posting is on its way**

Wish I had more time to make use of my connection - things are pretty busy today

** takes a drink from his Duff Dark ** No spamming frenzy

for me either...

*Enters rather assertively*

Well Eery you dragged me here once again, I might as well get something to drink. So is Dusty still around, or has he been replaced by something bigger and better. Talking about Duffman

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:01 am

Sure, Dusty's here too

. What'll it be, Tam? Duff, Duff Extra Cold or Duff Dark? Or perhaps one of our regular Rolling Thunder drinks?

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:07 am

Oooh, Dark Duff looks really fancy. Give me one of those, as for Dusty it doesn't bother me if the RT locked him away somewhere. Was getting bored of him after all

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:09 am

** tosses Tam a can of Duff Dark ** Yeah, you and Dusty go back a lóóóng way

. Cool sig

, BTW

...and don't forget Monty the moose @E-Man !

Hi @ Tam....

**opens his next beer and waits for the connection to improve**

EDIT @Tam's signature: Both quotes from Terry Pratchett IIRC...

*Notices the uneasiness in time*

Bad connection problems, Beldin. I'd spin the clock hands like they do on the movies to speed up time, but alas I've tried it in the past and it never works.

EDIT- Well you should know that the top one relates to little old Australia, yes we do have elephants riding around here. The second one is just so damn funny

Yeah, Dusty, Moddy, Monty, Flammie and I'm sure Puff's around somewhere too

. It's a friggin' zoo

** SLURRs some more Duff Dark **

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:31 am

re - nice Australia....I've always thought that "Dijabringabeeralong" as the name of a village has a nice ring to it....

re "time" - I could do with one or two procrastinators right now to speed up things...(see "Thief of Time" for explanations..) .

But connection's improving....I'm going on 44.000 now...that's better then the 28.8 I had earlier....but it'S still crap when you keep in mind that I have a goddam f****** T1 line here !

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:35 am

Monty!?!?

Please acquaint me with this "Monty". I'm thinking of a gopher or a badger. Is it a badger?

You have a T1 at 44.0, thats a cable problem no doubt. Have you moved desks recently or gotten an update on your local network system.

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:40 am

No Tam. No desks moved, no updates. But I've had troubles lately because our IT department is several thousand miles away...and our domain server is on the other side of the earth - so whenever someone at HQ schedules some server maintenance (or whatever it is they do there...) it's NIGHT for them - but BUSINESSDAY for me...

...I think no one explained to them how timezones work....**sigh**

Eerhardt · Post by **Eerhardt** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:45 am

@Tam: so you haven't heard of a moosehead called Monty

? Where's our Nick Counter, when you need him

?! ** takes another swig from his Duff Dark **

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:54 am

I've tried looking in my books Beldin, but its a Technicians job no doubt. I will tell you this, find the server and kill it. A short term solution, but it will be somewhat enjoyable.

Thanks Eery, so thats Monty eh. Looks like I missed him.

Morning everyone.

3 words:

I HATE TRAFFIC!

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 8:03 am

Hi and bye Tybs.

My three hate words

EXAMS! EXAMS! EXAMS!

I bet you can't guess what I have tomorrow

Good night everyone.

Later Tam. Have fun tomorrow, then.
