Yes, I wonder how many companies saw a rise in puzzled and frustrated employees accompanied by a brief burst of productivity?

Phew...I thought the site had been blocked by my Co.

I was beginning to get pretty restless and fidgety. My mood was noticeably worse, my temper shorter, my keyboard rage increasing (I define keyboard rage as the violence remarks/actions you dish out at the computer when it takes too long to do something). Besides, you can't get fired for swearing/hitting/abusing your PC, unlike the "thing" next to you.

Come on, admit it - we're all Pistonolics! Had the same feelings and frustrations myself... oh what a relief to get it back!

Ted ,mate, we all understand - you're nearly there as the site is a lot more stable than recent times (I've seen less VB errors, that's for sure). You know that if you want any help, you've only got to ask for it.

Chin up, old chap. It's nearly the weekend !

That'll be deciding what time to set the alarm clock then, will it?

Must be nice to rise for a leisurely brunch, late morning...until today!

Only joking Ted. I've been very calm - didn't panic all morning (much) - despite the fact I went nearly five hours at my desk without Pistonheads. You'd have been really proud of me!

You're lucky - not only did I have to go for a walk, I came back with fruit instead of KFC!

Dear CarZee's firewall guy,

I write to apologise for the near fatal beating you suffered at the hands of my learned friend. I feel partly responsible for this as said person mailed me this morning asking me if the site was unavailable, or should he go and give you a Good Honest Coppering.

I failed to notice the mail in my Inbox. When I did, it was too late.

Get well soon,

GregE240
