No no no, definitely not that nice. Right not I'm connected through a phone-line modem and windows is showing connection speed as 46.6Kbps.
They do have a lot of French/Brit/Saffa expats here so I guess it can be really good if you are loaded!!!
Cor! That sounds like the time I was connected with Pipex!!!
Everything is great if you're loaded!
Then I'd be abroad all the time!

I then pulled a heavy blind away from its fixings and onto my head in an effort to get it to leave via the window. I finally managed to swat the thing only to discover that it wasn't a wasp after all - just a very noisy hoverfly!
Oh well, the day can only get better - I'm off now to take the car for its MOT
LOL. Good luck with the MOT!

I don't do relaxing anywhere! But yes, I am going away, although not until the middle week of the 3. Waiting until all the children are safely back at school.
It will be worth it!

The sign in page is taking ages to load for me (I'm on a 1MB connection tonight
), so i guess something must be wrong with it.

Yeah I'm occasionally getting in but I can't read any emails - very frustrating - and this after how much I recommended it to Syd the other day!

I was wondering the same thing. I can't seem to access it either.
Had to go through igoogle and because I had an app loaded on it which displays my mail, I was able to read it through there (with such limited functionality!) but typing in gmail.com isn't briniging it up!

That always happens when you recommend something!! I recommended Dell laptops, within a day my hard drive failed, my wireless failed, my bluetooth stopped working and my camera was no longer recognised!
After that, I thought, never again!
