UK Astronomy - Is anyone interested?
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!) |

Can't do any harm.... $ blocktable -add - type permanent -message "500: no danish houses allowed here" (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.

R 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? Chris.B |
