The "network error..." message means that the server closed the HTTP connection - I suppose there could be any number of reasons for this, but the most likely is that there weren't any packets getting through to your client, so the connection timed out.
GEEEEEEK! GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! GEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I was saying that yesterday - it's oh so quiet on the lunch front. Why is this? Is coollist knackered as a tinker? Are we back to the "au naturel" list then? Or maybe everyone's just got BETTER THINGS to do? I know I haven't.
I'm off for a massive meal and pub thang on Saturday which is going to be smart.

What if Fat Keith comes across the lunch archive - you will BE IN TROUBLE. So come on then, be a tinker and send the joke on....
I'm not sending any more emails today until someone sends something - I feel like I'm talking to myself. And the doctor warned me about that....!

Former Vice President Quayle, Speaker of the House Gingrich, and President Clinton are traveling in a car together in Kansas. A tornado comes along and whirls them up into the air and tosses them thousands of yards away. They all fall into a daze. When they come to the extract themselves from the vehicle, they realize they're in the fabled Land of Oz. They decide to go see the famous Wizard of Oz. The Wizard is known for granting people their wishes. Quayle says, "I'm going to ask the Wizard for a brain." Gingrich responds, "I'm going to ask the Wizard for a heart." Clinton speaks up, "Where's Dorothy?"

Hello!
Nothing to say, apart from that I'm here today (I haven't been all week)
Just cause Neil's gone quiet!
Its my birthday on Saturday (well, Sunday, actually, but I'm going out on Saturday) so Leicester folks with an inclination for drinking may want to know the plan: there isn't one. But - provisionally - I thought I might go to the Phoenix for a couple of hours to begin with, call in at the OX, and then head on the Great Inevitable (Death or the Tube Bar).
Any takers?
Also, I don't think I'll make it out tonight, so Mark-and-Neil, please pass on a 'Good luck and take care' type gesture (chuck his shoulder or something ...) to Simon. Ta.
Michael.

Following posted to indiepop-list:
There was a piece in music week this week about how thanks to oasis and spice girls the uk has now become the top music buying nation in the world. On average each person bought 4 cds in the last year! Wow, big spenders! No 2 is usa with 3.9 and no 3 is united arab emirates with 3.8. the average across europe is 2.3.
Think I must have bought my quota by Jan 2nd.

Good morning everyone, i trust you are all well? Personally i am EXTREMELY well in that i am not hungover AT ALL, which makes a nice change. Jo & Nigel, where was you then on Thursday? I scoured the site (well, staggered around a bit), but was nowhere to be seen. The Beer Festi was GRATE, i met loads of people from school, all of whom are TWATS. HAHAHA! While wandering round we met my sister, who it turns out none of my friends had met for YEARS, and they spent all night going "Let's go and see yr sister, she's lovely." I harumphed and said "That's my sister" etc etc, but on Saturday night this especial twat of many year's standing said it to my brother, and went further to say "She's not blood" (i.e. she's our step-sister really), so James (the brother) had to be dragged away from him as he tried to beat him up. He had a car crash years ago, so has lots of really impressive scars - a few years ago he scared the shit out of another twat we met by STARING at him for a few minutes, he's dead hard my brother. Cool.
Also v pissed off, cos on Thursday i was supposed to let him in to the said sister's, where we were staying, but i was too unconscious, and he claims to have shouted in my ear for ten minutes when he did get in. I don't believe him, and i reckon his urine-based claims are LIES too.
Simon Wilkinson Testimonial Pub Crawl was a TRIAL OF STRENGTH too, but we made it in the end, eating the following LUNCH on the way:
1 Small Deep Dish Vegetarian Pizza
1 Bag Chips (with Pineapple Fritter)
Plate of Nacho's
Food is GRATE when yr pissed isn't it?
Right I'll try posting to this thing again, as some of my test messages = have returned.

I went camping in Cornwall at the weekend! YAY ! and I took my gas stove and we made cups of TEA on it. It rained the whole weekend and I caught a nasty ILLNESS from swallowing too much dodgy sea water when I went surfing. We drank lots of BEER and everything was GREIGHT.
I love long weekends don't you?

No, it wasn't that, it was hard to hear what she was saying with her

looks like it's working for you kosso young fella, so I have removed lunch@kosso.com
for the rest of ya:
apparently the list checks where the email has come from when you send
to it, so if you have an alias or whatever that might be why it aint
working for ya. You must be subscribed with the exact address that your
email appears to come from otherwise your messages won't get through to
the list. Looks like it's working for almost everyone now though. Cool.

They had a big sign up last time i looked saying "Oh lumme, it's all gone wrong", but it seems to have been doing so for ages, in fact since just after mo st of us started. Maybe it's a big LIE, and there aren't really thousands of people on it at all? Maybe it's just US, and when more of us joined it stuffed up ....

I don't believe this - our server is down AGAIN. Computer Bloke thought it would be a brilliant idea to connect us automatically to it when we log on to the Uni server, so now every time it konks out we can't get into Windows. Brilliant. So once again not only can i do no work, i can't do any pissing about either. Nuts.
Sorry i missssed youse Nige & Jo, i do not hang round the Foreign Beer section cos it is not HARD and MANLY enough for tough guys like me.
Neil got some photoes of Abbey Park from that Donna at the weekend, and they're absolutely BRILLIANT! They look like proper photographs! There's an especially good one of a little kid on some bloke's shoulders, both smiling and jigging about which is SCREAMING for a caption saying "all ages enjoyed the festival" and to be on the front page of the Mercury. is coool. Most of the pics are of VOON too, which is even better, and we look GRATE, as opposed to the way we look in my photoes i.e. Far Away and A Bit Murky. I'll try and borrow them and "test the scanner" this week - i've actually got a HUGE stack of new Sorted pages to go up, which i spent most of yesterday doing, full of LAFFS aplenty, but cannot do so as the Posh Email Thing is on the main network, what i can't pissing get to...

No indeed, if they were true, instead of saying " a light fruity beer with a hint of coriander" it would say "vile vinegary bath water with the consistency of treacle", and instead of "hilarious" names (top one this year - Big Cock. "Can I have a Big Cock please?" "Hey everyone! I've got a Big Cock!" "Can i taste your Big Cock?" - the hours must surely fly by when you work in a brewery) they would be called Liquid Marmite or Monk's Dysentry. Still, is all part of the fun.

Ooh! No i missed them (shame), but were they called Hooverdam? Someone told me this, and i seeeem to remember Pauly mentioning a similar name ,.. Are you a bor n again Crusty these days then P dear? Is this the New London Chic?
I doubt it was Hooverdam, as they're not crusties at all... However I
