I'll get to this (again. . .) in a while Pete old boy.

My demeanour was not overly enhanced by spending some time coaxing the grey cells into a semblance of word-smithing activity and then laboriously pecking at the keyboard with two fingers, as I do, to then be presented with the following when finally pressing the preview button:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) in
/home/mlu/public_html/forums/admin/db_mysql.php on line 40

Well, that's alright then, only a "slight problem" in loosing over a half hours work.

Pity I didn't dispatch the email, someone would have learned some new Anglo-Saxon words and if the "we" would like to come round here and apologise I'll see how inconvenienced they are after a gratuitious kick in the cod-piece.

If you think I'm not best pleased; you'd be absolutely right.
