There are many answers to this problem..... ;-) I wonder if we can get Cormaic along to one of them. That would be wonderful! I've had 8 replies so far and all hope to come even if its just for the day. I am going to email Cormaic and ask if he and Mrs. Taz would like to come with Pester Girl and Slug Boy - do you remember the wonderful anecdotes he used to post about them? Kay are you still in touch with him? If at all possible, we'd love to come once we know firm dates. It would be fun to see a bit of the world I hardly know at all, too. Thank you, Judith, you've started what sounds like the foundations of a good meet. I do hope Cormaic and Mrs Taz come, though their Pests are probably a bit grown up for being hauled around with their wrinklies! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Definitely worth a visit and in particular the lavender fields in Norfolk. Looking forward to seeing you - I will post a date when I know what my work schedule is for the university year 2007/08. I will know this around mid-March 2007. Judith, if we do go with the 7th/8th July for Devon & possibly Cornwall is that pinching dates you'd like to have your meet on. I know you mentioned July as a possible for you so don't let the south west contingent muscle in on your available dates. I just would like to have one that you can actually get to this time! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

In article , June Hughes
writes Did I say I would like to come, Judith? I think I did - must be getting old! I can stay with m-in-l. We go back a long time, you and I - long before urg - to the days of the demon new-users group. You did June and you will be very welcome. Ah the days of Demon new users, I remember you nearly took my head off for asking stupid questions; I still ask them but these days I 'phone Demon - in fact when you come to Norfolk I want you to have a look at Turnpike on my other computer (1 for work and 1 for personal use ) as I cannot get Turnpike to work on both). Before the Norfolk meet, I will post in urg asking for details of all your favourite food and what you don't like to eat. Don't worry about the wine, we have loads at our house in France and I will be bringing it back by the boot full .hic! p.s. had an email from Kay and she will be asking Cormaic and Jane Ranson and others that we knew and liked if they would like to come. I've given all bedrooms away but we have two estate cars that be fitted with blankets - no, only joking! -- Judith Lea |

I just would like to have one that you can actually get to this time! ;-) Don't worry Sacha, I will fit in with everyone else. We are off to Le Pin last week in July until September 1st so it definitely won't be held then - just a thought what about a French urg meet? We have 6 bedrooms there, some are triple rooms. The garden is gravel gardening and I think quite successful. Cheap flights with Ryanair or Flybee - or you could drive down (Auvergne) stay a few days and then go on elsewhere for a holiday - if anyone is interested in an urg French meet, would you post here so that I can reply to all - it is on topic after all!! I can guarantee great food, copious wine, laughter etc., and we have a swimming pool for cooling off - sorry no swim up bar. -- Judith Lea |

I had trouble with Demon after Andy Mabbett reported me to them for something I had not done. It got VERY nasty and I threatened Solicitor action. They backed down and I received an apology from them. I then ditched them and went with BT and Outlook Express. NEVER looked back Andy Mabbet 'net nanny number one' did me a huge favour. :-)) Thank you Andy where ever you are. I can guess :-(( Do yourself a favour. Dump Demon Mike :-)) The truth will prevail :-)) |

What's most annoying is that when I'm in the other room on my computer I can't see the mail or newsgroups, so can't reply or refer to anything unless I physically go onto Tom's machine and bring up Turnpike. We don't want to connect with email, just see the folders. I can post out using Pegasus. When we phoned Demon they couldn't seem to help and gave the impression that it would be a very difficult task Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

They prevaricate, they finally say ok - but nothing happens. The REALLY annoying thing for me is that when an email comes for Eric, it's so much easier for him to say: 'oh, can you tell him that ...' That was NOT our partnership agreement ;-) Oh, and I get the 200 junk emails - whatever happened to Demon's spam filter? -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

We've phoned them twice now Judith and it's the same story, they expect you to buy another copy to go on the other machine but also that then you would need to set up some system for downloading the emails even if you only want to see what's on the other machine! P.s. Seems also that there will be no more upgrades to Turnpike. They are not doing anymore, so we were told. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
