It was issued today. Except... that they actually never issued it. I just got an email saying "your payment failed, pay within 14 days or it will be cut off" - even though I had never tried to pay! And they should only have asked for my money today! And they cut me off immediately, not in 14 days [08:20] "Again!" should have been "Again?" tho [08:20] (thomas - I completed the new one earlier :D ;)) [08:20] keep [08:20] 4search remains on the graveyard [08:21] That's... that's insanely STUPID of them!

I will DEFINITELY not go back to them [08:23] keep [08:23] cut [08:23] mmmmhm! [08:23] No, the ratio of cut/keep [08:23] haven't p(l)ayed in a month now [08:23] 7not moved [08:23] no fun without bankspace anyway [08:23] yeah :S [08:23] E: coiunting down the days then [08:23] so i took a break [08:23] until we got more space [08:23] Elendil: not sure what you mean by cut/keep ratio [08:23] 7Just don't fall into another PLOTHOLE.

You have sharp enough wit to get anywhere [08:25] APPROPRIATE. All of our cases are dead-ends. [08:25] Maybe we can DIG up another plot while we're out here ...

Except when I don't ;0) [08:32] lol :-) [08:32] 7We're GOING nowhere very quickly. [08:32] I was referring to the "oops, we cut EVERYBODY off" part [08:32] we didn't seem to suffer any DNS issues [08:32] Ben - yes, I know [08:32] cut [08:33] cut [08:33] cut [08:33] cut [08:33] cut [08:33] keep [08:33] "his was compounded by one of our carrier suppliers suffering a network DNS issue, which meant some of our customers were unable to see certain web pages." - I meant you generally, not specifically [08:33] ah [08:33] damn, i have a song stuck in my head now... [08:33] yes, the irony does tickle somewhat [08:33] ("riding on a dead horse") [08:33] Wizzard: think of track 47 :) [08:33] I'm posting the Sev Files punchline winner and have a quick question. I think it should be "dead horse we've been flogging" - isn't "flog" in the saying, not "beat" [08:33] * Nemi kills Ben [08:33] aaaah! [08:34] keep [08:34] * thkya stabs Ben [08:34] ...and I'll hand out the popcorn while he kills you...

[08:34] 7We're lucky she doesn't have a driver's LICENSE... [08:34] cut [08:34] Really didn't need to think of that track, thank you :P [08:34] * Nemi takes your stabby knife away [08:35] John: Use flog. [08:35] cut [08:35] keep [08:35] keep [08:35] cut [08:35] cut [08:35] rarrrrr [08:35] keep [08:35] cut [08:35] MY PRECIOUSSS! [08:35] will do. Emma, as our resident literature expert, do you concur with "flog"? [08:35] WS - why should you care? The song was written specifically to wind Guido up :0P [08:35] * thkya bites nemi [08:35] sorry, trailer inspector [08:35] but now I'm right :P [08:35] Definitely flog. Hence the joke I made up there [08:35] I was thinking of the song on which it was based... meh, forget it [08:36] keep [08:36] Ah, but I didn't mention that song at all ;0) [08:36] Ben did [08:36]
