Title: blonde falls over. Post by: tikay on June 26, 2006, 03:37:14 PM As most of you know, blonde crashed yesterday, we were offline for some 10 or 12 hours. Explanations have been offered elsewhere, I believe, & I could not get online myself for the last 12 hours due to Broadband problems.
We changed "Hosts" a few months back to "FastHost" & thus far, combined with Bream & Sparks, the service has been faultless, indeed this was our first major outage under the new regime. It also cost us the Day Three of the Live Update, so a bad day, one way & another. Not our fault, but it was our responsibility. We are very sorry. Title: Re: blonde falls over.

NTL spokeswoman Alexandra Legg.... "It couldn't have happened at a much worse time - an hour before one of the biggest games ever." That's ever, in the entire history of everything ever. How I might imagine Alexandra Legg would describe the World Cup final..... "One of the biggest games ever ever ever." Title: Re: blonde falls over.

How I might imagine Alexandra Legg would describe the World Cup final..... "One of the biggest games ever ever ever." depends if argentina play brazil it will dwarf ( can i say that in this PC era on blonde?) any game ever play on this planet for wordwide tv viewing figures mind you for worldwide viewing figures i suppose that england vrs ecuador in round 2 of the world cup doesnt even measure on the ricktor scale Title: Re: blonde falls over. Post by: ifm on June 26, 2006, 08:50:45 PM Brazil v Japan sees huge viewing figures
Title: Re: blonde falls over. Post by: Ironside on June 26, 2006, 08:54:51 PM china v india would see huge figures if both sides were ever to meet in the final of the world cup
it would need both teams to improve a little bit though Title: Re: blonde falls over.

Post by: Ironside on June 26, 2006, 09:06:04 PM not guilty i was doing the housework trying to make the house look tidy after my folks had been at gleneagles watching the golf leaving me to look after the house fo a few days
they are away for 2 weeks next month i have already gotten a quote from a national cleaning firm (the local firms claimed it was too big a job for them) all i can say is i think i need to win the wsop to pay to get the house cleaned Title: Re: blonde falls over.

I think that's a little far-fetched - our Live Update from the Vic was clearly very good, but our Competitors are decent chaps. Title: Re: blonde falls over.
