Some belated Advent pics.
Now that I am back on broadband here are some more of the pics we were sent for Advent. It's not all of them because mysteriously, when I've downloaded them from my emails, it takes me to "Microsoft Office Document Imaging" automatically, where lo and behold the pics don't appear. Special apologies to Frances O who sent four and they're all bloggered.
Talking of bloggered, I mentioned in an earlier post about January 7th. I hesitate to mention it because we've been promised improvements to the Blog before but nothing comes of it. However, there are now some tip top people who're working on solutions to the ever present 502 error problem. I'm hopeful that from the 7th, you will be able to comment freely without the 502s. There will be a new (once only) registration process in which we'll need your bank details, blood group and who to contact in an emergency (or something) but after that we SHOULD be ok. The downside is that the Blog archive, although it will continue to exist at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ, will not be available. To make it available would have delayed the Blog improvements by months. We had long discussions about this and opted for the relative speed of January 7th. I hope you agree. Let me know.
I might get someone technical to explain all this properly in due course but in the meantime, those pics.

And what about these? "......a couple of pics from Thursford. Santa getting steam up and Rudolph with mates ready for night out. DI Wyman"

The good news, apart from the fact we'll (probably) have a working Blog is that with no Blog archive material available, I'll be able to regurgitate my previous rubbish and no-one will be able to check...
Eddie, what d'you mean "...so, no change then..."

As Noel Coward apparently once said to Dirk Bogarde "Don't worry, it all depends on you"...
Christmas 2008 in your case Eddie
'Tis four days after Christmas... Old Santa is pi**ed.
He's cussed at the elves and thrown down his list.
"Miserable little brats, ungrateful little jerks..."
This time he'd a good mind to scrap the whole bloody works!
"I've busted my ass for damn near a year.
Instead of "Thanks Santa" ...what do I hear?
The old lady bitches ‘cause I work late at night.
The elves want more money... The reindeer all fight.
Rudolph got drunk and goosed all the maids.
Donner is pregnant and Vixen has AIDS.
And just when I thought that things would get better,
those leaches from the tax office sent me a letter.
They say I owe taxes... if that ain't damn funny.
Who the hell ever sends Santa Claus money?
And the kids these days... they all are the pits.
They want the impossible... Those mean little gits!
I spent a whole year making wagons and sleds
Assembling dolls... their arms, legs and heads.
I made a ton of yo-yo's... No request for them,
THEY want computers and robots... do I look like IBM?
Flying through the air... dodging the trees
Falling down chimneys and skinning my knees.
I'm quitting this job 'cause with no PM Blog,
I get no enjoyment!
So, from now, I'll sit on my fat-ass, and
draw unemployment...
There's no Christmas next year; here is the reason.
I found me a tropical beach so, I'm going "South" for the season.
I'm now a sun-worshipper, no if's and’s or but's - till either PM's Blog works again... or, too much sun, drives me nuts!
I hope there's a way for the archive to be , erm, archived so that it isn't lost completely. I also hope that the registration process will allow us to keep our current monikers, as they've become identities in their own right, in a way...
Still, it sounds like there's improvements on the horizon, so I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the update, Eddie
Dear Ms Mair
Does this mean we will be stuck with only one web site link, as in :-
where as we all tend to 'post' www links to subjects and fings wot we find appropriate (blimey, big word for Sat pm!)??

It'll be brilliant if it brings back a working blog. I'll be keeping everything crossed...oo err dyffeeKuld two tiype liek thys.....
Thanks, Eric. January 7th it is, then. Now, for my bank details, I've sent them to a prince in Nigeria, so you may have to wait till he gives them back. Luckily I've also sent them on a disk to some government department or other, so they'll be easily retrievable.
If we save links, will we still be able to access past Blogs, or is 'unavailable' really 'completely unavailable'?
As for my pix, apols not needed. I'll see if I can get my party frock to do a repeat performance for next year.
I can't guarantee use of the grand piano, though.
Dear Mrs Trellis,
I am completely in agreement with everyone.
Yours agreeably,
Sid (Mr)
I'm holding my breath.

ooo what a surprise - 502!!
Re that prince- it's easily done! I stupidly phoned my 'bank' this week who kindly e-mailed(!!!) me about ssomething needing clarification. Fortunately thr penny dropped in time- hqw did they have my e-address etc.
I don't think I divulged anything but probably have incurred a hefty phone charge for my stupidity!!!
