    Oh FFS

    I've just got an automated email telling me that I'm reaching the data transfer limit on my web site.

    The vast majority of that data transfer that "I" have used up has actually been consumed by spammers and spambots trying - and failing - to post garbage on the site.

    Every time they try to post their spam to the site, it involves an HTTP request with a large payload, and an HTTP response that's very small as it just says "fsck off", yet I have to pay for their failed attempts at spamming

    If I wasn't so fscking annoyed I'd start preaching about "The Tragedy of The Commons" - as if wittering about that would do any bloody good

              Morning all...




              I've got the central heating pilot light to stay lit.

              It's up to 9.7 deg C now.

                      There are still some notable absences from CUK, and TPD in particular. Even my Downing Street petition to urge the prime minister to encourage DS23 to return to the drivel-haven has fallen on deaf ears. I can only hope that 2009 will see the return of the one true TPDeity.

                      It's been another hectic year over here though, and I for one will be glad to be able to rest up over the coming days / weeks / months after finishing an 18-month project which has involved a daily fight with management for the past 12 months of those. Even through my worst days of sickness, though, the joy of being away from work and with my family (and my pseudo-family in TPD) has helped me get by - hopefully 2009 will be a healthier year for everyone.

                      And so, that's all I can really offer you as a Christmas message this year, apart from to wish you all a very pleasant, restful and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous 2009 from my family and I to you and yours, and to leave you with this little CUK-inspired ditty

                      Squirrels roasting on an open fire,
                      "My Lunch" threads get up your nose,
                      A load of insults bein' thrown by a prat,
                      And bannings - off they go.

                      Everybody knows tay stuffed with mistletoe
                      Starts the season with a fight;
                      Nineteen shots, twelve mince pies in a row,
                      You'll find it hard to post tonight.

                      You know old CM's on her way;
                      She's got champagne and Red Bull on the sleigh,
                      And every pint of mild will make you spy
                      That pigs and reindeers really fly.

                      And so I'm offering this simple phrase
                      To posters, two to ninety two,
                      Though it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas,
                      Expert drivellers, Merry Christmas to you.

                      (And a final pointer to those of you who are having problems finding "happiness". Read a copy of "How to be Free", or this post from Nick. Be grateful for what you all have - there are many more out there who have significantly less but are happier.)
                      Only just found this.....

                      Hope everyonehad a fabbo Christmas and all the best for 2009!!

                      for everyone, for everyone..... especially the doggie
