I can picture the scene.

LOCATION: The Bar
CAST: Hydey, The Barman

Barman: "Last orders!"

Hydey sprints for the bar. A thwack is heard.

Hydey: "Aggggghhhhhh!"

Hydey clutches his hammy but makes it to the bar regardless.

Hydey · June 10, 2002, 05:34

@ finbar

You actually made me laugh very loud.

finbar · June 10, 2002, 08:09

LOCATION: Hydey's computer
CAST: Hydey, Mrs Hydey

Hydey laughs out loud at his computer.

Enter Mrs Hydey.

MRS HYDEY: "What are you laughing at?"

HYDEY: "finbar"

MRS HYDEY: "Well, laugh at this!"

A thwack is heard.

HYDEY: "Aggggghhhhhh!"

HYDEY clutches his ear.

Hydey · June 10, 2002, 08:12

you should have quit while you were ahead.

that was just silly as Mrs Hydey would never hit me in the ear, always in the groin

finbar · June 11, 2002, 02:55

I never delve below the belt.

SuperSneak · June 11, 2002, 11:08

What are these cryptic stats in our location field now?
Some sort of Australian immigrant classification?!?

BTW, I pulled both of my quads at the same moment...that really sucked...you know you're in trouble when you have to pee like a girl.

What on earth are you talking about?

Edit. Now I know what you're talking about. It's all explained elsewhere.

Oh well that rules you out then.

I go offline for 5 days with a bung modem and noone notices

finbar · June 11, 2002, 20:36

We assumed you'd run off with Makeo.

Alexander's Horse · June 11, 2002, 21:47

He's too busy with his snow bunny friends.

This cabin I went to at Granya is superbly located to access the Victorian high country. Skiing, fishing, camping, bush walking, its all there. A very beautiful part of the world.

finbar · June 11, 2002, 22:42

Just a pity about the politics of the locals. I had a bit to do with some of the High Country-ites. Very depressing.

SuperSneak · June 11, 2002, 23:16

Bush walking? Hmmm...we find better uses for our bushes here.

Oh we don't interact with the locals if we can avoid it

finbar · June 12, 2002, 00:30

Very sensible.

Alexander's Horse · June 12, 2002, 00:33

My 4wd also has a bullbar in case we find any locals on the road as we hoon by

Hydey · June 12, 2002, 09:14

So Are you going to play this firday Horse or are you still scared of the new warmongering Deity.

finbar · June 12, 2002, 19:35

Fear not, Horse was away developing a Dirty Bomb. Or maybe that was his 4WD.

Hydey · June 13, 2002, 05:48

his 4WD is a dirty bomb and Horse is just dirty

Hydey · June 13, 2002, 19:11

I hope we are playing tonight or am I going to be very pissed off again

finbar · June 13, 2002, 20:23

I'll be here. The World Cup doesn't offer anything all that unmissable tonight.

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2002, 20:46

I'll be there Friday night - IF I can get the modem working.

Had dramas with it all week- the internal modem died last weekend and I bought a new USB Modem as work around. That didn't work either so I took the Comp to the repair shop thinking my system was bung.

It cost me $117 to find out that the brand new USB modem I had bought last weekend was faulty

I bought a new internal modem today. If I can get it going I'll be playing.

i understand your frustration Horse......my computer has been plagued by a host of problems.........finally got them fixed though, and i too made the mistake of taking my puter in....only to be charged just over a 100$ to find out my ram was faulty

get yourself up and running......we need to get the muppet game worked out

Alexander's Horse · June 13, 2002, 21:04

To make matters worse my IP provider screwed up my operating system trying to fix what they thought was a software problem - the modem was dialing out but not connecting. They got me to delete the comms off my comp which led to a lot of the "blue screens of death" and then they said you'll just have to reload windows over the top, which led to a lot more blue screens, but "that wasn't in their service parameters."

So I had to get that unscrambled too

If this new modem I've bought doesn't work I'm not going to be happy

War4ever · June 13, 2002, 23:12

LOL i think we had the same techie.....i got on the phone with some guy who told me that my settings were wrong...so he step by step asked me to delete files, well soon enough, i too had the screen of death, then he told me he wasn't sure what was wrong with my system....

needless to say...i sat there cursing into the phone.....i wanted to call back and smack that dude up the side of his head.....

or slap him in the groin...either way it took two weeks before i finally got things figured out....

the most unfortunate thing is this has happened more than once to me

Alexander's Horse · June 14, 2002, 01:48

How unlucky though to have your modem go down and then buy a defective one straight out of the box, LOL.

finbar · June 14, 2002, 01:52

So much for modem quality control. I bought one of those little plug-in card modem things for my last laptop. It didn't work. Buggered when it came out of the box.

Hydey · June 14, 2002, 04:13

Well what do you expect buying stuff from a guy out the back of the pub. i always buy from a reputable dealer who guarantees he will steal another , I mean replace anything faulty at no charge.

SuperSneak · June 14, 2002, 14:05

We send all of our faulty equipment to Australia. It's the least we can do. That's why they're trying to get me to emigrate, BTW.

Hydey · June 14, 2002, 19:24

Is that how we got John Howard?

When i had a laptop i found those where a ***** to install and keep running.. You had to do exactly the right steps or it just wouldn't work. Not only that if you had the laptop on for 3 hours or so, if you pulled out the card you could cook something on it.
