Nothing worse than being woken at 2 in the morning for something that can take 2 minutes to sort out; after a 35 minutes drive there........
my PC switched on okay this morning at 7.....went out for a few hours, returned home to switch on to "boot record missing!". windows7 could not repair... thinking I'd have to re-install, I remembered the last time this happened and disconnected my second hard disc and powered up. huh ! PC loaded no problem .... worryingly I've two hard drives, windows recognises as C: & L: ..... looking at my system through the windows7 disc, I have a C: and an E: .... BUT C: in this state is my normal L: and the E: is my main drive ... I'll never understand computers...... |

The King visits the town of XXXXX. To honor him they make up his bed with linen richly embroided with pearls. And he cannot sleep all night. An year later the King returns. This time they do not want to mess it up with an uncomfortable bed. So every hour on the hour two smiling maidens make up the bed again smoothing all wrinkles ... The story continues with what they did with the toilet bowl to better honor their beloved King. But I spare you the details (available privately on request). |

Climate wise no. Instead of Claret you'll drink Sherry. Instead of strawberries you will have mangoes and papayas and few bananas. No more dog races but coridas de toros. Olè
And those beautiful herrings? Bacalao. Haggis? Paella, de pollo. On sunday paella de camarones. Yorkshire pudding? Gazpacho, por todo el mundo. |

Poor Geoff. I think you have jinxed computers from far away.
I spent half of yesterday trying to recover a dead hard drive (the one with our main database file on it shit!) ,by phone 1500kms away talking to the ladies (computer illiterate) on site. Eventually we decided that it was too hard and I suspected the drive was shot. So then we wait for a particular bloke to come back from up the river so he can disconnect it and drive 7 hours to town for fixing(replacement). He gets back so late he can only drive half way last night. He was to get up early today and be on the doorstep of the tech people for a replacement and restoration of our database(they are already saying it might take all day). Then he will drive seven hours back to site and I have to be ready tonight or tommorrow morning to guide him through putting it back in the system. Hopefully only two days down time. pheww that feels better just whining to you mob. Thanks ![]() |
