You *really* need to update your newsfeed more Dave.

Thanks everyone for the hints and tips.
I slackened the wheel nuts off and drove round my housing estate for a few
minutes, hitting every pot hole on the way but still the wheel refused to
budge.
In the end I squirted some super glue into the hole and loads on top of it.
Left it to cure for a couple of hours and then blew the tyre back up. Left
it over night and no air escaped at all.
So managed to drive the 10 miles or so to the nearest tyre place this
morning, again with no air escaping.

Job done. Great stuff that super glue ;o)

Steven.

If I knew what a newsfeed was I might do. I hit 'synchroize account' every
time.

That reply never appeared.

That's odd, Although I'm using a different ISP (PlusNet) from you (Virgin
Media / Blueyonder) they both use the same newsfeed (Giganews) and I can
see the reply here.

We're using different newsreaders, I'm using Knode and you're using Outlook
Express.

Either the message got lost somewhere as it passed through your ISP from
Giganews or there's something wrong with Outlook Express.

I think TMH is using text.news.virginmedia.com which is an internal VM server
(the same I am posting/reading from). The original message is on the VM text
server:-

billing.

Not disputing any of that - BUT - Highwinds is the binary (and text) server and
the server TMH and myself use (see our headers) is the internal Virginmeja
(ex-Blueyonder) text-only server.

Ok i thought the All the NNTP servers had
also been outsourced, so at least
somebody must still be directly employed
by VM.

I think there must still be a guy in marketing who dreams up some silly email
now and again. The others turned the lights out some time ago...
