[Slarvibarglhee Subject: Alloy: personal web page/update We've just gotten a post from our web site hosting company, which says the post we received last friday (Friday the 13th) was in fact a hoax sent out by someone who is displeased with them for some reason. They assure us they've been in business since 1997 and will continue for years to come. I'd been wondering what the situation was, since the Friday the 13th post said our sites would come down over the weekend and they haven't... Anyway what this means is that if you've linked to my site from your site, everything should be just fine. The address is still http://www.robinthurlow.addr.com (It also means I cancelled my credit card, and cut it into tiny fragments, for no reason! I can still smell the fresh plastic as the scissors snipped through... I hate that smell...) I apologise for the false alarm & hope it didn't cause any inconvenience for anyone. xxxx Robin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 22:54:28 +0100 From: Slarvibarglhee Subject: Re: Alloy: A daft joke and TMDR Guitar question?

You really think Chewie would put up with that? I'll let approach him about it first. Thug 2: 'What he said.'

There was a documentary on TV last week in the UK on this very subject. They were showing an area of London which had originally been very upmarket and posh when it was built over a hundred years ago, but it had gone into decline and many houses were virtually slums. People who could afford them thirty years ago, and who have stayed there and improved their properties, have found that the value has gone through the roof in the last ten years and it's a highly fashionable area again. People wanted to move out of the cities forty years ago, but city living is in vogue again, so the property market is booming. However, this is only some consolation to the people who lived there during the bad times. Unfortunately it looks like you'll have to tough it out in Hamilton until it becomes a hip place to live.
