 Notice to the Directors
> >
I have to inform you that Colsterway node went offline 1hr 27min
ago, on further investigation it appears that Keith Walters suffered an
acute hedge trimmer incident and the hedge trimmer retaliated and cut its
own cord.
> >
This resulted in the RCB in Keith's garage taking a sulk and
disabling power to the both the trimmer and the SWBB node, unfortunately the
node has not been on the "working with alternative energy" course and so
went into a coma.

Following a telephone call to Keith the RCB has been persuaded to
provide power to the node and the node has come out of its coma
unscathed and should make a full recovery.
> >
This is the second incident this week where a household electrical
appliance in the wrong hands has taken revenge on the SWBB network.
Helen’s iron managed to perform the same trick and take out the whole
of the network operations centre.
> >
Also last month the high street Colsterworth had two ornamental pond
fountain related incidents which also resulted in a comatose node.
> >
With immediate effect all directors will be sent on a domestic
appliance handling course, a comatose node revival course, and a teacher
training course so that the information learned can be passed down to our
clients.
> >
Should this training fail all directors and clients will have all
forms of domestic and mains powered devices removed from their homes with
immediate effect!

AAAAAYYYHHHH  >HA.HA.

 

Keith

It's not a problem, most of the directors and I have been on a
designated first aid course so Helen or I could have given you the kiss
of life or colonic irrigation, Geoff could have inserted his large
antenna, and Alan would have put 750W of HF though you, the choice of
aid and the giver would have been up to you or your dependants. ;)  Tom
would have been on hand to administer anaesthesia in the form of Scotch
Whisky while singing Scottish ballads to soothe you and lower your blood
pressure. 

We are nothing but versatile, and it's included in your membership
fee!!!
