The net is broken. Somebody call a repairman.

I'm trying to fix it now. However, I need a 3/8 Gripley and I only have a half inch one. Anybody got a 3/8ths?

Found the problem - the UK is now back online. I can't check the US side of things because of union regs. Who do I send the bill to?

I've never heard of a Gripley before. We don't have em in the US. Is that like a socket wrench?

To be honest I'm buggered if I know and it'd probably be a 10mm gripley now if we used it here :) . I saw it in a film and I believe it was a made up thing then. Just can't remember which film it was.....

:1orglaugh

Yeah I think it is made up. If you do a search on it in google, it pulls up a bunch of meaningless shit.

the old version is finally starting to fall apart.....

time to get the new version of the Internet installed.

I knew I'd seen a Gripley somehwhere. It's used to build combine harvesters and tune them before pitting them against Death in a race!

I wonder when commercial sites steal Internet2 from universities and polytechnics.
