Just received message saying 'resource limit reached' The plot thickens . .

Hi Loppy. Sorry to hear of your problems Sounds similar to events I had in 2008 and 2010. They only affected my arm and resolved within a few days. But they are recorded as strokes because to count as a TIA.. ( transient ischaemic attack ) symptoms need to resolve in less than 24 hours. I was on Clopidogrel for years but now on low dose aspirin. Please do what your Doc tells You!! Hope it all comes right.

You should be able to clear history. Also maybe run some sort of virus/ malware type cleaner if you have them. I've tried it all here on my p.c. but still can't log on.

Tried that and much more Brew. Pretty certain It's not me.

I still can't even log on from my p.c .. I'm convinced It's an issue with the site or the board software company ( Invision Community) I imagine Mick must have some way of communicating with them?

Something happened in the early hours of Tuesday morning. I had just composed an erudite response to Margie's comments on the song Baby It's Cold Outside.. which the system refused to post. I've been unable to get on the site via P.C since. I've checked every last setting at my end.. plus can access all other sites. So I am now officially appealing for help from 'Da management.'.. Failing that . I have an assortment of hammers...

I have tried: Disabling anti virus, resetting router, disabling browser add ons, using/not using proxies, checking all sorts of other settings. Using different browsers and search engines etc. All to no avail. Getting a bit miffed now. .

Ok chaps. Will keep trying. Thanks.

As above suddenly I cant connect to NS via my p.c. I'm posting this via my phone (not wifi) Any ideas? No problem with other sites.

Well of course it's safe to come out Fly. This is just a discussion forum. But I don't think you'd expect me to agree that all Left Wingers are 'Snowflakes', or that all Right Wingers are 'realists.' Rees-Mogg, Trump, Johnson. Realists? I'll leave it there.

Two lovely songs above but neither are 'sick'

I'd guess it won't be much better, or worse., because criminality, anti social behaviour etc., have always existed. I'm not condoning it, but it just is and always will be until we understand how to run societies in an equitable and mutually supportive way. America locks up more of its citzens than any country on Earth. Yet people continue to commit crime. People are pushed into poverty by wealthy elites, and then those elites wonder why the poor bite back. It really isn't Rocket Science.

P.s. As already pointed out.. this stuff isn't new. Gangs, thuggery, and violence have existed for as long as society has. And oddly, it always seems to predominate in, or emanate from, deprived areas. https://guides.wikinut.com/London-Gangs-From-the-18th-Century-to-the-Nineteenth-Century./2ijqle6l/ Dickens' 'Oliver Twist' ably describes the way in which homeless waifs were recruited by unscrupulous crooks in the 'glory days' of the British Empire, which some of us seem keen to re-create. Greene's 'Brighton Rock' describes some pretty horrible 'Razor Ga

Obvious;ly the whole razor blade ting is nasty, stupid, vicious, etc, etc. There is no excuse. I can't disagree with Jill's point above, but it doesn't rest on punishment and retribution, so much as upbringing and proper socialisation, example, and most of all the inculcation of a perception of belonging and having a place. Much criminality and antisocial behaviour has it's roots in alienation, despair etc. I spent many years working in a school for kids with 'Moderate Learning Difficulties'. They were a very mixed bunch, ranging from those whose learning was 'delaye

That narrows it down a bit Loppy... Sorry.. couldn't resist..

South Wales around Swansea and Cardiff often seems to get the warmest dryest weather in Summer. I suspect it may be because there are no mountains to the south west to lift clouds and cause rain, and the mountains to the north and west will form a 'rain shadow', much like the one which Nottm enjoys from being east of the Pennines.... or summat...

SG. I can't exlain this easily, and I don't want to sound smug, but once I really made my mind up to stop smoking that was it and I got very few cravings, especially after a couple of days. That was ten years ago, after smoking cigs, roll ups cigars, a pipe and the odd spliff for 40+ years. And before I made my mind up, I'd had numerous failed attempts using nicotine substitutes, gum, etc. I once went for five years and then started again. Stupid of me. I walked past a 'doorway smoker' yesterday on my way into a Liverpool pub. I'll admit the smell was still pleasant to me, bu

Don't want to be picky Mary, ( OK.. I do.. ) but it was 78/45/ 33. And strictly speaking the bulk of 78's weren't vinyl because they were actually made of ground slate, mixed with shellac and carbon black.. although some 78s, particularly from the Pye group of labels ( Pye/Nixa/Emarcey/Mercury) were made of vinyl. have quite a few of them. Some of my memories. - First TV I saw.. in a neighbour's house, probably about1952. Andy Pandy. - Bending a privet twig into a loop and collecting dewey cobwebs from the hedges on the way to school. To make a 'mirror'.

Brew.. You've changed...

You can get very mixed messages. My neighbour is a year or so older than me. He's the one who told me he had some burning pains in his chest on hills and thought he must've had a chest infection. When he said he had no fever or cough I told him it sounded more like angina. He got checked and a few weeks later had a Stent fitted. But, since he told me before he told his wife, who was a very senior nurse, I'm not allowed to claim the credit. Anyway.. he told me yesterday that he'd been told not to lift any weights above his head, because it raises BP. On the other hand, I ran my train

Try this.. et seq.

I think it's changed. More modern materials are used now. Building a two sroke deisel powered model from scratch seems to have been replaced by using modern plastic and stuff, either with miniature jet engines, or with 4 storke or electric motors. That said, I think there is still a place for balsa, paper and glue. I have a nephew who is a 'big noise' on the static (Airfix type) model front.

You sure Loppy? I must be doing something right.. none of them have caught me yet.. Oh.. hang on...
