I can think of better uses for cocktail sticks.... N scale timber loads!!

And you all thought I was going to say cocktails didn't you.

Mine was playing up on wednesday and then really bad yesterday. Would work for a bit and then say no internet access. Did the turn off and on where again it would be ok for a bit and then either fail or do weird things.

Gave up last night but seems to ok this morning. Hope yours is ok too. Am not computer literate but have learned that there are better options than chucking the thing across the room. Even shouting at it gets the dogs scared!

Have got Virgin Media if that helps

Hi Peter,

Sorry to hear of your troubles and hope you get it sorted soon. Surprised you can't get BT Infinity yet as I have it here in Daventry. Maybe you are 'out of town' though.

You are a very funny man.

By cocktails I meant a mighty fine schooner of Victoria Bitter (nobody here drinks Fosters, trust me on that), and the cocktail sticks I am thinkin' of,  yer put through steaks and prawns and are about 9 inches long.



I'm just kiddin'.

No I'm not.

Trust me; nobody drinks Fosters here, either

You are all waking up, then. No Fosters and suddenly the Australian Ashes score doesn't seem so bad, eh.

Guinness gets me through the times of England attaining a football score

With six wickets lost for nine runs at one point the match isn't being played on one of those pitches laid on top of an old council rubbish tip is it? Used to play on one of those in Romford in my youth whenever our own ground was being used by the First XI. Bottles and cans would work their way up to the surface and when one of these was just on a length it was perfect for us bowlers. Expect that is what it is. And that Mitchell  Johnson bowls like he may not be a very nice man - our players Mums should not have let them go.

Yep I would check your filter first, by the way you do not have a fax machine running do you because that can stop your internet working, might be worth phoning your phone company up to clean the line, that has worked for me once before, but yes give your isp hell if all other avenues have been exhausted, do not go down the path and buy a modem let the ISP foot the bill, if you are with TalkTalk then my company is on its 5th rubbish of a modem, always cutting out at work. I wish your internet modem all the best and hope it can be fixed asap.

Good Luck

All the above posts are brilliant, but I'm gonna put me moderator's cap back on. Let's get back to the topic, please.

Oh oh, last word... beer snake when I was at Durham in August. Shockin' beer, though.
