The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
I would like to share with you the tremendous wi-fi saga and the perilous quest on which Stead and I embarked yeaterday evening. Little did we know at 1pm when we purchased our Belkin plug And Play Wi-Fi Router and all the bits to go with it that we were begionning and adventure that would send us from the darkest pit of despair to the highest peaks of elation, then back again.
You remember when Gandalf said to Frodo "Oh go and chuck this ring in the fires of Mount Doom for us, there's a good chap". And Frodo said "Alright then, mucker". It was a bit like that. Sounded easy. In actual fact, it was long, arguous, perilous with Sean Bean trying to nick the router and everything.
We had the laptop working lovely at about 2pm. Then we didn't having changed NOTHING!!!! Oh yes, we phoned AOL to see if they could help us with the settings, but all they said was "Oh, no, mate. Computers aren't one of our supported bits of Hardware. We can't help anyone with a computer. If you were trying to connect to AOl with a carrot - now that I could help you with!"
It was half past midnight when we finally admitted defeat and staggered, exhausted to our respective beds.
We finally fixed it this morning when, in desperation I tried uninstalling EVERYTHING and reinstalling it! Now it works. knows why.
I would like to declare Stead as Undisputed Hero Of The Bored Board and award him a coveted Jammie Medal for giving up an ENTIRE saturday to help me do the thing. He is The Man!
And now I'm gonna abuse my wi-fi power by IMing Vic and asking her to brew me up a cuppa! he he he!
This wireless network stuff is great. Now D and me never need to speak again - he sits upstairs in the little bedroom with the desktop & I have the laptop in the lounge - we can just im each other. (only kidding D!!)

This might explain why I has such a problem running my own business!
