UK Astronomy Buy & Sell

I look at this news group every so often and I have put the occasional
request on it and I have received very helpful replies from some of the
people on this current thread.
Can we give this one a rest, if you were a first time user on this group and
you looked at this current thread the unsubsribe button would be pushed very
quickly. I hope that this group remains a friendly and informational area,
not a site of insults and accusations. (life is too short!)

Any new service, whether in an empty market place or up against many
established operators, will stand and fall by their own merits.

That's the most intelligent thing I've read in this thread Simon.

At least he won't make the usual mistake of a 'startup'. (Trying to
undercut the opposition). g

Danish houses are only on request. I could send you some if you

(only joking !! )

Evidently you /do/ do do this to complete strangers. I have to tell
you, if you did it to me I'd be very very cross.

You never asked for any! How would I know what you like unless you
ask? Okay, not houses then. What DO you like?

feel free to email me as many e-cheques as you like, preferrably made
out to my wife's maiden name CASH.

Its *my* email address, not a bl**dy drop-in centre for weirdos... :-)

Ere! Are you calling me a wierdo?

no comment.... =:-0

I think you need stress managemant Mark.

I do not need bl**dy stress management, heavens above, all day its
winge winge winge, users never leave me alone the phone never stops
ringing, lawyers wanting opinions, contracts to review, systems
failing, budgets to balance, ostriches to pluck, burble wibble toot
blarp...

Sorry, what was that, I had to stop and take the dried frog pills.

Have you considered painting your office green?

My office is 300 metres square, with 700 bonds and equities dealing
desks in it. Admittedly it would keep me out of trouble for a couple
of weeks, assuming I could find enough green paint...

PS: My god Mark, your signature has more commercial advertising than
the inside of a No.46 bus..

FWIW and joking aside, my own sig has absolutely no commercial
advertising in it at all. That crap about newsfeeds.com is added by
the provider, and I've no control over it. Since I don't read my own
posts, and most newsreaders snip the sigblocks, I wasn't even aware
till recently that it was added.

Would your prefer I contact your ISP or
should I report this abuse to Google?

Yes, please do report it to google. They'd be delighted I'm sure to
recieve a complaint from a mad danish person about advertising for a
3rd party news service made by an NTL customer who has no connection
at all with google !!g

PSST: Are you sure you don't want to see some pictures of Danish
rural houses? Ever so restful. Shall I put a couple of attachments
your way? No charge of course.

do your firm require
you to have your phone on 24/7? If so are they paying you to be on
call?

yes and yes, unfortunately. There's nothing quite like getting to bed
at 2am after dealing with sick, overheated overexcited children,
tidying the house and somehow stuffing in dinner while watching CSI,
and then being woken at 3am by Tokyo, spending an hour on the phone
with them, then being woken at 5am by the kids getting up early
because the sunlight coming in their windows woke them, and knowing
there's no point going back to bed cos you have to get up at 6 to go
to work... And sometimes, somewhere in there, I manage to sneak a
little astronomy. Binocs is about all I can manage at this time of
year tho.

E-mail – 22 per day –
you don't have a very big inbox if that fills it up ;-)

? I get around 100-130 emails per day, some of them truly horrible
multi-megabyte budget analyses from my Controle de Gestion dept.

Who's trying to attach your web site to what?

grin. Attack, attack of the sticky keys.

I realise that English may not be your first language,

Scots.

By the way, your sarcasm detector is broken.

Good, solid, sensible advice as usual Rob.
I suppose intensive care will finally give him the peace & privacy he
needs..? I wonder how he'll cope on the surgery ward though? All those
uninvited visitors....?
Yet another victim of the "Indespensible" culture. Wards stuffed with
them, I heard. They get younger every year. A Scot wasn't he? 'Shame.
Seemed like a decent enough bloke. Wonder what will happen to the
kids?
