Hello to all
in GE 50+ from Manchester... UK

azuno... I have been awaiting the switching-on
of my own
Broadband Connection
since my arrival here from Bristol on July 6th this year (??)
BT... the 'carrier' insisted,
that the existing "PIPEX broadband service"
should run for a further one month (notice)
this, duly happened....
HOWEVER, when I phoned Orange (my provider)
I was informed that it could take a further 15 working-days
to have, BT,
link, my new number to their service
duhhhhhhh!!
This morning, the neighbour "Jackie" whom you might recall
invited Mary and I, to Sunday Dinner (a while back)
announced a problem with her upgrade
to AOL Broadband from her past dial-up connection
and Mary, suggested to her, that I might
be of, some assistance with that
LOL....
The lady, was connected inside the hour


and has very kindly
allowed me to access CF via her service
for the purpose of, quelling any concerns,
amongst my friends, brothers and sisters
regarding, my now lengthy-absence from the boards here
I WILL BE BACK

it is, simply gonna take a while longer than anticipated

oc.... my lack of internet access
has given me some "SPARE TIME"
to work on our garden "rooms"
with, wood and masonry treatments
to 'cut-back' on some very errant plant growth
to complete, some minor decorations and reparations
(indoors)
no time for a DULL MOMENT
iow: no idle hands or minds here

Mit geduld (with patience) I look-forward to getting back here
within two weeks or so

(fingers too busy to be X'd)
With best wishes and prayers for you all
