What happens then when the servers go down.

Is it like the start of 4 weddings and funeral when Hugh Grant and Marmalade Atkins go 'FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK' and run about all over the place?

tech did you have a phonecall from "microsoft" telling you that you had a virus? Grin

@FuckingThorDaddyman

Helen was the problem that you were reading heat magazine instead of paying attention to what you were doing?

No, that's me consulting Tech's Auld Almanack of Helpful Turning On and Off Again Thingies To Be Consulted When All Else Fails - obvs

Love the pictures.

Tech, if your alibi is that you were down the pub? It won't wash.

"Well she was over here ---> in Mitcham this afternoon, and all was well! Maybe it's just you, Quint. Maybe They don't trust you!"

That must be it.

The Queen thought "That Quint is going to be there, and as there is just a couple of "ee"s, and "i" and a "t", between us, and she posted on that mumsnet site the plebs like so much only last week about how she wants to be a queen, we must block the internet in entire Richmond." That must be it. Grin

I had to do a presentation a few months back proudly announcing some sterling work my colleague had done on a multi million pound high speed compuer project. I asked them to send me some pictures. All I got were great big grey boxes with IBM all over them, and wildly grinning men in unspeakable jumpers stood near them.

QuintessentialShadows · 15/05/2012 17:50

Biwi, maybe social media was only blocked in Richmond. ?? To prevent people from uploading photos of her majesty to facebook and tweet them?

FuckingThorDaddyman · 15/05/2012 17:50

Talc it's from the ENIAC archives. I've studied a bit of computer history and love the old pics!

Some companies still take cheesy photos

Get0rfMoiLand · 15/05/2012 17:50

No, the queen didn't break the internet, I unhappily read the papers and Empire online this morning waiting for Tech to take his fernet branca and get some work done.

Get0rfMoiLand · 15/05/2012 17:48

Really laughing at daddyman's pictures of MNHQ (dressed up like the Mitfords) with their new computer parts. Grin

I wish computers were called bombes still. It sounds better. I am just going to turn the bombe on to check my emails.

BIWItheBold · 15/05/2012 17:47

Not so, Quint. I couldn't get on to MN but I was happily using FB and Twitter. I say happily, actually I was doing it begrudgingly BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO BE ON MUMSNET, TECH!

QuintessentialShadows · 15/05/2012 17:44

I have no idea, but I live a stones throw from where she was driving past, and we had no internet in this time period. Others said phones were working for making calls, but not social media and sms. I could not log onto facebook from my phone....

UnChartered · 15/05/2012 17:40

eh?

what happens when she nips out to lidl M&S then?

BIWItheBold · 15/05/2012 17:40

We know you do, Tech. You were propping up the bar.

QuintessentialShadows · 15/05/2012 17:39

No, this you cant blame on mnhq. All internet and sms was taken offline as the Queen was touring the capital.

TalcAndTurnips · 15/05/2012 17:38

ThorDaddyman - that looks like a sort of computer-based W.I. baking competition.

UnChartered · 15/05/2012 17:33

look lively, they've paid a temp to act as spokeperson Grin
