CR4 Down for Some Tidying Up.

For those of us this side ofthe pond, I reckon it works out at 3:00 am - 7:00 am (BST) on Weds 19th.

I can prolly cope (if I have a bit of a lie-in).

Ya lazy 'stay-in bed'. Yes, a good night down the pub may well be a solution . How do I tell the noisy birds that start singing early morning ?

Why? Do they 'do' CR4 too? . You could e-mail 'em, I s'pose.

I tried saying, 'you ain't no Aretha Franklin', but would she belive me ?

OMG !!! Was that in you in the mini-skirt ? . It could happen to anybody, and I honestly was just going out for a pint of milk. I know, I know, I should have realized when her 'wheels' woz a Bristol Bus . I'll stick one in the wood for you, mate.

There's a chunk of bath in my garden, and anybody American who can interpret that need only forward me their address to claim the prize. Just be careful what you wish for .

I hope the down time is to speed things up, CR4 has been very slow lately. 3am to 7am??? I'll just be rousing from my beauty sleep when they finish, IT people do always finish jobs on time don't they?

I slept through it.

Been playing with the time machine again, eh?

Yes, but not yet.

The horror is that you don't know you wrrit that yet .It's all some evil cat joke.

I thought I tasted a trace of nut in that post.

CR4 Challenge: Lyn was playing with the time machine again, but not yet. When someone who hasn't been born yet woke up, it was very cold and the husband was dead.

What will have happened, approximately the third Thursday after yesterday?

Drat!!!! Look, I'zz jus having a little fun with Trudy, the time machine.

She blew her fizzle top circuit, just as I got back here to the present.

Man, what a ride.

I've got everything back to nowness so Ta ta.

Any chance the anonymous poster function could get knocked off the shelf and broken never to be replaced while tidying up?

No features are being changed (intentionally). The site is moving to a different server.

'intentionally'. Now I am seriously scared - accidents will happen . It's just as well you have good people like me to snail-mail an explanation to folk like Del. I wouldn't want to be in toast throwing distance of Harlow in the morning .

Or if not, maybe a way to re-direct them to the Microsoft help desk for a ticket number?

MUCH tidier now there are no images! :-)

Interesting.

When I came on line at about 7:15 this morning, there were no images displayed (avatars or posted pictures, including in PMs). I commented about it here, and started a new thread remarking about it.

Images are now OK, and both my post here and my new thread have disappeared. Well tidy.

Arrrgh! My comment here, and new thread, have both re-appeared. Some (but not all) images are visible.

Don't feel bad. Most of the time you guys on that side of the pond get first crack at all the posts.

It's 'first light' here earlier, that's why.

I went for the obvious - madam la vino .

I was blissfully unaware of the issue.

I hope they finally put down new lino where the bath used to be...

It may be because they're pondering how to do that 'baiting Kris to go naughty' button. I can PM you, and am not afraid to do so, ya minx.

Ooooh!!!! Lovely!

And I've worked on this one...in fact the whole family did. Friends of ours own it and we (mostly my Dad) helped to restore it. We all used to travel in it or one of the others (LAE 13 or FTT something) to the bus rallies. Happy Days!

That's because my skillful use of the LynDoor™Industries Trudy, the Time Machine^® allowed some to blissfully sleep while the transformation was accomplished.

I slept through it three times just for giggles.

For that I thank you.

Do you regularly giggle in your sleep?

Doesn't everyone?

I don't know, not having spent time with everyone whilst they were asleep.

That's because you don't have a time machine.

Do neither of you read the Newsletter Challenge Questions ?

Not for a long time....

Ah so you are to blame for my sheet and top cover being flipped over while I am asleep!

Strange hobby you have there.

Not yours!

That might have been me, on one of the few occasions I gained access to the KrisDel™ Time Machine. Love your "sleepwear"

_{(I have to distrct the furry little beggers with nuts and salmon while I filtch the keys).}

Ah yes! That's the name I'm going to use.

Thanks - that's very special.

Nowhere else but CR4, could ayone find such bits of fun. A rare nugget of info that is well worth the read. Not getting my 'vote of the month', but well worth checikng out.

By way of swapping news, did anybody else see the recent documentary about a black hole about to gulp a gas cloud ? I know, 'get a room', but it is quite amazing.

I'm pushing it, but it might be fun to have some forum for recent breaking news. No need for it to be posted as discussion or whatever - simply a sort of 'just heard this, and you all may be interesting'. I can't blog or do a decent write-up, but sometimes hear interesting stuff. It would be neat to have some sort of bulletin board to post breaking news so that those more able could do a decent job of describing and prompting discussion.

CR4 has always been (IMHO) a bit like a bunch of folk swapping info over a coffee or beer. People chatting over origins of the universe, how do I get superglue of my fingers, to how do I get a busted gasket out of the whatever.
