Bloody 'ell, not another one ;-), see my reply to Adam.

Woody is using NTL and I am using Virgin, I assume they are now the same thing and it is a Virgin problem.

Cheers

I have 11 (4 more from Woody).

James,

I'd stick a UK plug on it and expect no problems. Must be a posh machine to be worth bringing over!

Good point, you're both using OE too but maybe it's too much of a coincidence for both to be borked at the same time.

The evening insult I sent to Dennis via eternal september on another NG went out without a problem. Virgin sent the same message,insult 5 times

[Martin]

This is so weird. I'm also on Virgin (ex NTL) and my msg was still in Outbox after it arrived in the group. It was also in my Sent box - which otherwise is empty.

Surely there's another explanation...?

Better safe than sorry :-)

You're welcome and better safe than sorry.

Thank you for asking this question. I have just imported a vacuum cleaner from Germany (model not sold in UK) and wondered if there would be a problem changing the plug. For the moment, I am using an adapter but you have got the answer for me.

You should make an offer for one of those provided under PFI for the new now-defunct Regional Fire Control Centres. They cost a cool £6000 apiece!!!

[Mr Pounder]

I had the same problem with Virgin.

Virgin seem to be going though bad patches at the moment with their Usenet 'service'. I keep a free albasani account as a back up and for when I'm away from my home connection to NTHell.
