It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

All Chinese traffic has been directed away from the site.
Have asked for Singapore ones as well.

Fingers crossed.

I keep getting a resources exceeded (or wording to that effect) message in my browser window, have to refresh a few times before it'll let me in.

A football fans site I use is getting hammered, can hardly get into it.
