Morning


This site went down this morning at 3am until 8.30, I'm not sure why but it is a reminder that the forum needs a major upgrade.


This year we may have to move to new software, which would mean a different look and feel (hurrah! some of you say), you'll have to change your passwords but you'll get better features.


The forum is independent, we don't monitor your every move and then target you. We don't track your messages, friends, emotions and then use that to sell you stuff. Aside from the adverts on the side, everything here is written by you.


So just a warning that the software it runs on will hopefully change this year, which might be a little bit of pain for a lot of gain. 15 years without a major change isn't bad.


We're currently looking at using PHPBB3 as the new software if you know any PHPBB? expert please send them my way. If anyone has any other suggestions for forum software please let me know.


Have a lovely day.

Agreed. It was a pity a lot of threads disappeared last time, though understandable.


And it would be great to have some warning if our PMs are going to disappear!

All threads will be kept if I have my way. I'm not aware of a previous time where lots of threads disappeared.


And yes, old Private Messages might have to go as they're tricky to migrate, so you will get plenty of warning if that has to happen.

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      By malumbu · Posted

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!

      Calling all you London Reds (Manchester United)

      By malumbu · Posted

      It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
