you can definitely keep
the mussels I've never liked them since being young Mum and Dad had
them a lot, yuck.
Ah - you've obviously never had them properly cooked..... most English
cooks tend to boil them to rubber.
steam (preferably in white wine/chalottes/garlic) lightly for no more
than 5 minutes, serve with warm baguette, and lots of white wine g

Well, son of a gun!! The Furball knows how to properly do mussels, lol.
I will remember that if I ever get back to the Chester area!!

As for the router, no.....I haven't set it up. But when I finally take
the plunge, I will contact you for instructions.

Btw......at Xmas, I bought a very handy thing called "Clickfree" which
backs up all the good stuff automatically on this computer and would do
at least 4 more. Elayne just got one that is newly out and it does both
Macs and PCs. I realize you techie/geek types probably use an external
HD, but this is so easy for us non-geeks. I highly recommend it!!

Kissies.....Figgs



Have you got that router set up yet or are you still playing chicken
with it vbg
Cluck cluck!
vbeg

I've got to try and lay down the law and get my line gain upgraded, my
service is for up to 8 MB but my line is only capable of 2 MB and I'm
getting no where near that, I don't understand the results of these
speed tests but I've been told I should get faster speed for my ADSL
than I get.

Don't bet on it! try resetting the router - then do an online speed
test, and at the same time, check the various readings on dB, etc....
chances are that you are too far from the exchange to get more than
2Mb/s - which equates to ~250KB/s. You have to be within about 1 Km of
the exchange to get much more than that.


Anyway going to go and catch up, I'm a moderator and administrator
on a site now so got to catch up g

"a stitch in time"?, eh??

have fun!
