...........Billy wants to say Hi to everybody and apologises that he can't post due to problems with the site. He will be back again as soon as normal service is resumed.

Thanks Hensylee.

I wonder if he cusses as much as I do without the internet?

 

[Billy]

Hey..........

Hey..........

I'm still on the net, just that VR.com normally won't accept my posts for some reason.

I try to post every day and it's only about once every two weeks that one is actually submitted......rest of the time it tells me that the server is busy or in need of repair.

If this post sticks then it will be the first in 2003.....

......Happy New Year everybody

Well, yonder he is - Hey Billy - nice to see you.

I blame BT for your inability to post. They probably have fish nibbling on all the phone lines over here.

That sounds really complicated, Ross - but, Billy, if it can be fixed, Ross can do it.
