What a day. After a sore throat last night, I woke with laryngitis and a paralytic throat!! Thank goodness for ibuprofen (I'm out of soluble Panadol!)
Then I log in to moderate the Board! How do these guys know Allan's having a mini holiday!! Spam! Spam! Spam!
Thanks to Daniel, Jim, John and Tony in my sleeping hours for doing all the warning even if it meant more messages to delete.
Just as I started, the power went off ... for 2 hours .... and then came back with so much fluctuation it kept the dish modem, the surge protector and the UPS humming as the room light flickered away.
Five hours later than usual, the Board is about normal. One apology, I did it again - I deleted a topic of 21 messages instead of just the spam message in one case - sorry!! If at any time you suspect my incompetence!!!, feel free to re-start a topic.
48 messages from one spammer and a plethora of illiterata where members failed to read our guidelines. We had heaps of messages, mostly mis-placed ads, mostly over 20 lines. How does one get people to follow the simple system aimed at keeping everything smoothly flowing?
Now to see if a horse can hover. I'll return to hovering in the background and yes, I am a little hoarse, of course!! And they say "Pigs might fly!"
Charlie'll love that!
Cheers and Happy Easter to all!

I'm a TCP gargler, myself, but anyway...

You can't recreate it. That was then. Oh, the poetry lost. (Please don't tell us which thread. We might never recover.)

Don't ask me. I don't do "simple" as well as I'd like. Just Murphy kicking below the belt on one particularly bad day, I reckon.

If Dan Kennedy's allowed to ride a cow, I think some sort of Pegasus vision is in order here...
I can see it now (but it's all Greek to me)...
Wally - half man half horse (much better than pig, or even cow) - "hovering" majestically. Seing all. Occasionally swooping down to smite the wrong-doers with the trusty ruler...
Part 1930s (or whenever) Sinbad - part Libra. It's all a question of balance. Maybe a bit of Brian Blessed from Flash Gordon thrown in (if you can manage the laugh when your throat's better).
Anyway, that's enough. Hope you made it through before the powercut.
Cheers,
Charlie.

You too mate. Hope you're feeling better soon. Get out amongst the flora - that'll sort you out.
