    GD; the Marie Celeste, reincarnated as a tech forum

    I seem to have had the place to myself yesterday & so far today. No post since 7.59am on the 10th and for the most part nobody viewing. Zombie invasion, heartbleed bug, epidemic of numbness affecting hexite typing fingers..?

    Still, I have made the most of my time alone I have been putting my feet up on the mods boardroom table, leafing through their carefully ironed copies of the daily broadsheets and helping myself to the good coffee and biccies - space-hopping along the deserted corridors, singing rugby songs, mooning out of the window over the car park, and drawing moustaches on the portraits of the founding fathers. And there was no-one here to see it, so it's all good.. maybe it's just as well there's no CCTV though..







    ...is there? is there!?


    ps Thanks to Neogsotte for the game of pingpong round yesterday dinnertime.

    Obviously no-one will ever read this post, but it may help me stave off the boredom & madness for a little longer.. sole player I-Spy is wearing a little thin now.

    I bet they held it in parenting because they knew it was the last place I'd go. The swines!

    Wish I could say I was out enjoying the sunshine we're having but, alas, no. Just busy inside.
    No trees were harmed in the creation of this message. However, many electrons were displaced and terribly inconvenienced.

    I had a lovely walk around York this morning, back inside this afternoon finishing off some work so I don't need to do it next week. When I'm back at work after a week off

    We love York, one of our fave cities to visit.

    I spy with my little eye, something beginning with YM.
    Cheers, David

    Ah yes, I see it too. Your mum?

    And I agree, it's a lovely place. I've given up trying to stay away If you're likely to be in the neighbourhood drop me a line, would be delighted to have a natter over a beer or 2.

    On the subject of forum users, what happened on 16-03-2014 at 05:00 AM? Apparently 'most users online' occurred then.
