How does a shark get out of the sea?

[Graham C]

that's why it's dreaded I guess, if it does, we're all in deep trouble

[SuffolkPunch]

yes, but even if it did get out of the sea it could not get anywhere - unless it grew legs. In which case, yes, I could see why it would be dreaded. I would dread it very much indeed.

Sorry if I'm being a bit daft, but what's a DDOS attack?

It's an organised attempt to disrupt internet communication of a business.  It is possible because stupid w**kers the world over don't bother to install a firewall and downlaod dubious software.  At a pre-arranged point in time the software contacts the site flooding it.

Don't think that this is the problem here as the crash was immediate and apart from the time clock being wrong etc. the connection was ok after I got back on.

here is how it may look

Well you know that people dump shopping trolleys in the sea, well the shark carries one into the surf then catches the wave onto the beach (obviously does not happen with shingle beaches which is where i holiday-Im not stupid!) and can ride for around 1 mile if he gets enough momentum devouring any holdiayers along the way! The hard bit is finding the sea afterwards!

Here is one below pushing the trolley intot he surf. If you didnt believe me before......

[SuffolkPunch]

yes, I've seen that happen off Felixstowe. Here was a pic in the local paper....

[KingPoker]

I love the way you wrote shark on it just in case nobody coould tell! You should do them drawings they do in big court cases. Your obviously very gifted!

P.S. Is it ever that sunny in Felixstowe?

Interesting though that lots of different rooms were hit at the same time.  I've not seen anything like that before - guess it could be a major backbone issue somewhere - or maybe KP broke the Internet?

in a word: No
