Downtime This Evening - 9Pm For Up To Two Hours

[AB Editor]

Afternoon everyone,

We're going to be doing some general maintenance on the site this evening.

I've been assured that it's more or less the same as doing some spring cleaning.

They're probably polishing the mainframe and getting some new Yaks to keep the Rams company.

Or something.

If you're looking for a distraction during the AB Towers Blackout you can always pop over to our Facebook page to say "hi" to other refugees:

We've also set up some pub-quiz-style questions for you to get your teeth into while we're out of action. Just pop over to the FB page to join in :)

[society]

Two hours!!? This must be some cleaning!

[Lie-in King]

Can you come round & do my flat? I'd pay...

[Peter Pedant]

I'll read a book

I am doing Sergeant Grischa by Zweig

which is 'All Quiet on the Western Front' part deux
and by a different author

If ya wanna be transprted back to a forest on the german polish border in 1920, it does quite well.
PS he dies in the end

That is one hell of a massage you'll be getting Ed!

[rockyracoon]

Bugger, I'll have to visit Pinterest now, filling my head with stupid craft ideas!

[RATTER15]

Couldnt it be done at 02.00, no rush then, just take your time!

[wolf63]

Will you be doing work on changing the user-names. I think that you changed a few of them and then stopped for some reason.

I would love to chop the year of my birth from my user-name. I feel old enough as it is.

wolfie, nuffink wrong with 1963, if it was 1863 I'd see your point :-D

I'll be in my bed anyway Ed, so clean away.
PS I've a freezer which could do with attention.

[sherrardk]

[ChillDoubt]

Just pop over to the FB page to join in :)

[ChillDoubt]

[RATTER15]

I wouldn't know who any of you are on FaceBook unless you have the same names or avs.

[wolf63]

"Ooooh a quiz, are there prizes??"

Well, other than the satisfaction that everyone else would be better at writing quiz questions than me, no :)

A question will be asked every 10 minutes from 9pm until we're (hopefully) back online. The answers will be published at 10.50pm on the site.

[AB Editor]

Those who don't have FB, and feel left out, there's

"127 Hours" on Film4 at 9pm
Hell's Kitchen on ITV2
"The Route Masters: Running London's Roads" on BBC2
And that fairly outrageous programme "The Call Centre" on BBC3

Check it we're back at 10pm :)

If we're not, there's "Dates" on 4 which I've heard is quite good and an Ian Banks review show special on BBC2! I'll be recording that at least :)

And if we're not back at 11pm there's something wrong!

There are an awful lot of springs, society. That's what keeps the Ed so bouncy.
