Default Did it really happen?

For several hours yesterday I couldn't get onto the forum.

I can see from posting times that there's also a gap of a few hours.

I remember no announcement about down time.

Yet I've not seen anyone mention it on the Canada forums or the MBTTUK forum.

Does nobody want to admit they missed the place?

Likewise. I hope BE doesn't malfunction again, otherwise people might begin to form unrealistic expectations regarding my output.

Not a good thing.

I ended up going shopping with Mrs_P and spending money of all things.

I nearly went out and looked for a girlfriend.

But now BE is back I can continue my dull lonely slide into oblivion with out needing any one else in my life.

I think we should all send our collection of quarters to Sue so she can keep feeding the electricity meter.

You don't know what you've got till it's gone. The server break down was like an after death experience.

One minute I could see Michael Jackson and Hitler and then suddenly I could here this forum calling me back.

I had not yet ****ed enough people off. My work was not yet done................
