Default MLU temp/perm Links

Hi,

Am I the only person having to jump over to using the TEMP link several times a day because the permanant one keeps disconnecting/becomes inaccessible?

Thanks,

Karmen

Hasn't happened to me, Karmen... it could be congestion in your ISP's nameserver... ?

Darn it. I'm glad I saved the temp link then because I have to use it several times a day.
I get disconnected through the permanant link often. Not so often through the temp on.
Weather has been pretty "off and on electrical" lately ... maybe it's messing communications up.

Doubtless the aircrew are most grateful but what ever does it cost you in petrol and the anti-pollution greeny lobby ear-ache.

It's also an Airborne expression over here...

A beer for the first one to enunciate its meaning.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. This just wont do, wont do at all.

Don't blame ME Master R. The slang part was a hook I believe from my "Slang Teacher" no names mentioned, of course.

The educational part? Don't let the slang stop the education ... Oh please, oh please? I shall behave now

Awl right, awl right, settle down FIDO; you'll disturb Veare, she's been asleep all day and needs to sleep all night, its what cats do best; now. . . . .pay attention.

FIDO.

Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation (FIDO) was one of the most remarkable wartime inventions and was responsible for saving thousands of lives of Allied aircrew during WWII. In the early stages of the war RAF bombers returning from operations sometimes found their airfields completely fog-bound. Desperately short of fuel and often disabled by battle damage there were numerous crash-landings which took a high toll of men and machines. The answer was FIDO, the child of the government's Petroleum Warfare Department which had been prompted by Winston Churchill. The system consisted of lines of burners fuelled by thousands of gallons of petrol and installed beside the runways, which literally burnt the fog off airfields thus allowing much safer take-offs and landings.

Ooops, too late, ones and noughts crossing in cyberspace, as they do.

We'll try another perhaps but there's always Google of course

1) The Great Panjandrum from 2) the Wheezers and Dodgers.

At the officially menopaused state, my testosterone levels are higher than estrogen, so it will be testosterone and frying pan you shall meet, and you male creatures of the species all KNOW just how much more powerful a force tstosterone can be, than estrogen can?

MENOPAUSE ... the GREAT GENDER EQUALIZER!

Better lay in some black cloth then, and start sewing your Hijab.
(See my comments in the SM)
You can forget that lark too.
