Hi, Cotty wrote: Well Mike that's no bloody good cos everyone knows you Geordies don't have electricity up there in the har-cladden north! 1. I'm not a Geordie. They live in the Tyne valley; I live in the Wear valley. I won't tell you what the Geordies call us.. 2. I presume you mean haar. Otherwise known as sea-fret. A good Viking word for the mist that rolls in off the sea on nice, warm summer days, thereby causing them to become cool, damp summer days. All the above with a wacking big grin (wbg). WRT electricity, Catherine is visiting the gym three times a week and I am converting an old exercise bike into a rather effective generator. Spouses do have their uses.. Of course, this all assumes that NTL can get off their collective backsides and produce a correct set of paperwork instead of the three sets of defective stuff they have sent so far. I have given up contacting them and am just waiting for the engineers to call. Let them waste some of their time for a change. Off to trim some wicks. m

Hi, Cotty wrote: I keep getting rejections We know, we know. 8-) I think I will have to apologise generally for the error message people will get if they email me. The mail account I am using is routed through JANET, the Joint Academic NETwork of the UK. A local router in the University of Sunderland has suddenly decided to start producing spurious extra copies of mails sent through it to any local address. My record for individual mail copies is over 120 at the moment. I am still getting copies of mails sent in the middle of August. As you can imagine, this leads to a situation where my mail box may fill up over, for example, a weekend, resulting in fail messages. This has already caused me to be automatically unsubbed from PDML. Confusingly, this fail message may refer to a mail that I have already replied to. The situation has been ongoing since about mid July. Says a lot for the state of our academic system that a simple fault like this can be left for so long. It has caused me finally to take action to buy internet access from home and I will be resubbing with a different address asap. Once again, my apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced by this. mike

Hi Mike, Seeing as you'll eventually read this on the web archives, I figure it's a good way to catch you, as I keep getting rejections from your Citysun email account, like this: A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then it chicks the email back at me. This has happened loads of times and i keep meaning to do something about it. There, I did. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
