What possible difference to anyone can it make by someone choosing a block of flats or pretty much anything else for that matter as there avatar? It surely can't be viewed as offensive.
I actually like sooty, takes me back to my childhood and as I approach my second childhood it becomes more and more appealing!

It is not a block of flats. It is a small German market town Christmas market, historic buildings lit up and a Christmas tree but it does not show up as well as it could as it is so small. As for Sooty, I was behind him on stage once years ago and he sort of lost his magic. I was about 8 at the time. I will change it!

This Reliance Dongle Internet connector is so slow that it would be quicker and easier to leave a message on MSN Word, disconnect it from the electricity, fold my laptop up closed, and then use it as a friz bee to deliver the message !
Reliance is similar to a stuttering clapped out Reliant Robin Car in performance.I suspect you would get more reliability from a Reliant Robin too and its only got 3 wheels.3.1 MBPS......who ever dreamt that up deserves the Nobel Prize for Creating Writing and The Annual Brass Neck Award for brazen lying.My old Amstrad double disc 64 Kb with a 20 Mgb HD on dial up in the early 90s was faster than this load of rubbish.Second Class post in the UK is faster than this.
Also i have just read that Christopher Hitchens is dead.One of my favourite authors in the 90s before he went over to the other side and kissed Goerge Bush`s backside...Best book."The Missionary Position." His expose on Mother Theresa and what went on in Calcutta and where all the money went-to The Vatican and not the poor in Calcutta.

The "soddin" monkeys!!!!!

I`ve got an enormous chickoo tree full of ripe fruit!!

How do the big buggers know when I`m out?

They`ve recently broken 2 of my lovely 15ft yellow bamboos and make such a mess taking 1 bite out of a chickoo and then throwing it to the floor!!

If i`m in they disappear pretty sharpish as they don`t like the sound of the air rifle.....I`m sure I`m not a good enough aim to hit them....but I am improving!!!!!!!

Broadband connection went off at 2:00pm sharp yesterday and stayed off. On again this a.m. and since local BSNL don't work Sundays I'm guessing it was done centrally. Something to do with SG's visit???

Thanks Noni, so I've got that to look forward to next week!!!!!

Is there any half-decent reliable "dongle" available in Goa, that gives reasonable speed and doesn't keep cutting out?

All I have got to look forward to now is worry and cold bloody winter. I don't possess any winter clothes!

Are you back in UK yet, or due back soon? Plenty of sales on at the moment.

When will you be back in Goa?

Have a great Christmas & New Year (wherever)

Cheers
