rubecula Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well I have had my letter. Today (27/10/2010) I will lose my internet for an extended period of time. I dunno when I will be back I am afraid, hopefully it won't be too long. Keep my chair out of the rain for me. Rubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 What's the problem Rubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Had a bust up with the ISP. Long story but basically I am changing. So they decided to cut me off as of today. Not sure what time it will go down. I can't get back online until I get a new ISP (Sorted) and a new router. (Not sorted) And the new ISP needs my mac number but to ensure I don't pay over the odds I have to wait for them to get in touch, next month. and so on and so on. Sigh. Oh well I usually eff it up one way or another. But I can't stay with the lying gits who I am with anymore. I refuse to pay twice for a second rate service.

MikeO Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Bad news. Hope it gets sorted soon. My life would close down if I lost access long term . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Somehow I doubt the sincerity in that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well I am not sure what has happened. I turned the computer on and the internet link icon was there on the screen. Just out of perverse stubbornness I clicked it and I am back online.... and I am not paying for it. Dunno how long it will last, but I am not going to write to them and complain.

rubecula Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Mind you I will be getting a new ISP anyway cos this is too good to last. Letsd see if it lasts long enough for me to get to 1000 posts. I will be satisfied with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 3 to go mate! youre wasting all your letters in the Shoutbox though! Cant believe i passed 2000 without knowing, all within 15 months!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yes they really do mount up quickly when you are on a forum you actually enjoy. And I love this place. I was the same on Iggy's site. (Long since gone and sadly missed) But it was Iggy who introduced me to ToffeeTalk so I owe him one. (You probably owe him a smack in the mouth for the same reason.LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iggy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Yes they really do mount up quickly when you are on a forum you actually enjoy. And I love this place. I was the same on Iggy's site. Wasn't mine mate, just did my best (obviously not good enough!) to keep a small site going but it never really generated enough interest. There were others came over this way (Blue 250 for example) at its demise but I have no idea what happened to most of them. I found this place shortly before the death knell started and was hooked although as before, I am more of an onlooker than a participant, largely because I see no point in posting my views if someone else has already posted the same thing.

Matt Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 i agree with Marco and not just to prove a point!

rubecula Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Well the butler, (Cribbins) has just informed me that Rubecula Towers is back online. This of course means I am back again. Sadly I think you will all need to don the armour plating and seal up the doors in case I escape. I am a wizard at making bazooka's out of wax crayons. (They have to be wax as they don't let me have sharp objects.) Joking aside, I think I am back permanently. But lets just see how it goes.
