    the short answer is 883.246  young kids died for our freedom in WW1 ,

    our UK  remembrance date is 11/11 .annually

    I will be there , ( (ex Royal Air Force Air Sea rescue) “RAF”,

    Our UK  remembrance wll include the quote “

    “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning
    We will remember them.

    they mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
    They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
    They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
    They sleep beyond England's foam.”

    But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
    Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
    To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
    As the stars are known to the Night;

    As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
    Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
    As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
    To the end, to the end, they remain”

     

    That always reduces me to tears ,

    BTW, our UK service also includes our USA & allied friends

    Indeed we were one back then ,but now thankfully still kissing cousins,

     

    Best regards to all on TMN,

    Had a thunder stom no connection but connection came back during call as usual wait 48 hours. This time been told BT should be in touch within 48hours if they don’t then AOL will follow up the call.

     

    I was charged £50 for an engineer’s visit despite having no fault within my property and being told will not be charged for the visit, manager confirmed invalid charge and refunded back

     

    I also spoke to a Customer services manager as I am told contradicting information by the reps on the phone.

    Inconsistent info regarding reasons for call closures.

    Inconsistent info regarding contact SMS when no one has actually attempted contacting me.

    Inconsistent info regarding the complains process.

    Inconsistent info regarding formal written complaints. Given last months charges refunded as compensation.

    told will talk to the faults team and attemt to speed up the process.

     

    Spent another 2 hours on the calls.

    Hi Uwais ,

    just scanning through your post , indeed you seem to have a line fault,

    probably a poor connection on the overhead copper ( hopefully, as some are aluminum , indeed the fault might clear in dry weather ,

    I have no experience with AOL , and the modem/routers they use on ADSL

    as far as logging faults goes the DMT tool is excellent if it's available

    for your modem/router , also shows a graph with Signal to noise ratio etc

    and logs drop outs , ( and much more ) ,http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/DMTv8.htm , it's standard must have for line and speed chasers in the UK,

    indeed no point in changing ISP until the fault gets sorted ,

    BTW , during the storm/rain does your phone still work ? .

    if so try a line test , just dial 0 wait to the tone stops,

    you shouldn't hear any hisses or crackles ,

    Regards

    Ha, Arsebook and Twatter - will check them out, now...BTW, my new sister in law is from Yately. I'm enjoying learning the British cut-downs from her. I was at a loss while she was trying to describe an American station wagon : :smiley:  What do you call them again???? And, waiting for the thread to be shutdown, not....

     

    Yateley ? in Hampshire , if so about 30 miles away , the station wagon , known as a Estate car in the UK , originaly would have been

    wood trimed ,  " a Woodie ",  most UK insults are class bassed ,  Pleb, Prowl , Ponce. ect, and can be very regional ,

    verbal insults are not used much in the UK  unless well hiden to the recipent , " verbal dueling "  hence my asking Mudmanc about

    voting somebody a ban , I think he got the message ? , :tongue8:

    Yo roco  here, I got it bud, chill out , I know pasting from wiki is taxing on you brits ...........

     

     

    I think I fit all of the description here wtf :tard:

    Pleb , Indeed , it's the "in word" over here , last used seriously in the Plebgate scandal  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2273003/Plebgate-log-brought-Tory-chief-whip-fake-according-Police-Federation.html ,

    before that it was in Common use to describe American tourists , although I only ever called them suckers , as it was cruel to insult them for their lack of intelligence ,education and total lack of moral turpitude ,

    anyway done with this topic , it aint gentlemanly ,  and I have had my week in the sin bin in the past ,  

     

     

    where is the start button ?!

    Just to add , I am still on XpPro , using firefox 18.01  , with flash block ,

    the auto test button is there ,

    not that I use it ,  seems like my BT fttc is rock solid 24 /7 over the past year , I think I stopped speed testing about a year back ,

    as I have a cap of 40Gb a month , ( normaly I use 30-38 Gb )  that way it saves me from getting fast arse syndrom from to much time in the computer chair or additional $$.

     

    (Blocking ads and scripts thinking everything is going to take over their
    computer, p2p and downloading movies / songs, leaving vital ports open
    <goes back to the p2p > , at the same time leaving the router wide
    open thinking because they installed a program to stop others , that
    they are OK. )

    indeed , but if your router can't be secured ,  My BT router has by design  2 ports open.  allegedly for updates ?

    but I lock everything else down , and Java removed ,  maybe over the top , but that way I sleep easy ,

    holy mackeral , (quad core 1.5ghz cpu and 2GB of ram..) is chasing the tail on my desk top computer ? ,

    maybe I need to upgrade my life , still using smoke signals for comunication ,

     

    Mind you I nearly turned a human into a droid last week ,  she was so in love with her phone  she figured  texting was more

    important than checking the road before crossing , while I nearly hit  an approching bus trying to avoid her  ,

     

    What happened to being able to test to a "West Coast" server?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    just curious

    anyone tried the European server ?  it's sort of local  to me , I think from memory its in Amsterdam Nethelands

    or Holland to non EU folk,I Ioose about 25% across the English channel to that test site , but around  60 % to the

    TMN Dallas ? server ,

    my connection in England is from BT  FTTC 40 x 8  , although my connection is good for 160 x20, for another $8 a month

    but being a tight git I have no use for the extra speed ,

    so do I care my e-mails  go supersonic  ? , well as long as they beat snail mail I dont care ,

     

    cost for my 40X 8 around $45 a month ,but that includes free phone calls unlimited 24 x7 within theUK
