The site is going to be unavailable for a few hours on Tuesday morning. Don't panic! It's just while we do some necessary database jiggerypokery.

If you have been affected by this statement then the [url= https://www.samaritans.org ]Samaritans[/url] telephone number is 116123

This is bad, I'm going to have to be argumentative and unpleasant with real people, people i have to work with, people who may actually deserve it.

UK productivity is about to soar. Then crash to earth like a Daesh piloted 737.

Is this the dreamed of forum update?

And is this an IT "few" hours or real world time?

I'm sure this'll be as successful as last Decembers pre-Christmas forum update.

I'm taking odds on a posts-per-page count of 30.

Let me know where you'd like me to send your 15p rebate.

Based on our monthly sub cost I reckon 1p gets you 5 hours.

Ah, my bad, I was thinking £1.50 / day rather than per month. My GCSE maths would concur then, it's a penny for five hours.

In which case, I'll happily rebate out of my own pocket anyone who sends me a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Let’s be honest, this is an outage.

Thanks for letting me know. I think I will have a lie-in. There is obviously no point in getting up.

Well that didn’t go to plan.
We are back to normal while we work through some bugs.

The green hurt my eyes badly.

In other news, bikeradar is still quite dead.

I've worn out my refresh button in excitement, only to see this finally.

I blame brexit, and the scotch.

Finally, I can get back to not doing any work.

I like the forum upgrade by the way 😉

The forum and website are free. We don’t pay for those.

I am guessing overall website ad revenue is more than 0.2p per hour ie £17.5 per anum
