'Y' kettle leads can be useful - power two devices off one socket.

To this day - 30 years on - , I still detest Shakespeare, due to one fat, smelly, teacher who insisted we should all love it, just because ' it's the greatest thing ever written'. Ditto Mockingbird, which came across as a party political broadcast by the 'all white people are arseholes' party. BUT, of M&M - struck a cord, and maybe would do now more than ever, with about a quarter of the kids in Europe unable to find work.

Anyone else remember a 'proper' flood - google 'Carlisle flood 2005' and look at some of the images. Strangely, the news/government response didn't seem quite as high-profile then. So, for anyone who built in the Thames floodplain (=valley) especially in the last 10 years, very little sympathy.

I had a cunning plan for a primary, to stick DD-WRT on something cheap to provide local transparent proxy, and just point it upstream - No promises, but for less than £20 it's worth a crack. Found an ASUS RT-N10 from Argos Outlet on Ebay, but when it arrived a couple of days ago ---- they'd sent me a set of BBQ implements. And in this weather, I can't even use them .

And that weekend, the clocks go back - somehow seems apt .

The gateway may have blocked you out due to seeing too much garbage, probably worth getting the LA to health-check +/- reset from their end.
