The site went down due to excessive bandwidth (I wonder what may have caused that…). But once more MyOstrich, the hosting company for my blog sorted it out quickly. Thanks folks – it's appreciated.

Looks like any money you make from da book is going on hosting fees.Fame and popularity has a price.
Hi, Just wanted to say hello, and to let you know that I have only recently discovered your blog and have, to my utter delight spent the last few days trawling the archives. As a tech with 10 years service under my belt I totally relate to all your stories and humour. You have entertained me immensely, long may it continue……… By the way just finished a 12 hour night shift, the first of 4, bank holiday weekend…….. Deep joy………night night ;0)
Welcome – and……lovely.
Glad you got it sorted. Had me worried for a moment. By the way, I seem to have brought a defective copy of da book. Pages 120-137 are missing, and pages 137 to 152 are repeated twice! Is this a cunning plan to make people go out and buy two copies?!
Really?Better

Glad you are back!Don't know how I coped without my Saturday fix of Random!

Hi Brian,I have to confess I've only just found your blog too and spent Friday night killing myself laughing as I read through the archive. So, sorry about your bandwidth but in my defence I've ordered 'da book' and I didn't call out a big white taxi to help with the stitch…
thanks for the insights and keep up the good work.
Have to admit I discovered this site via BBC News. I used to be an emergency planner, so the relationship between the media and emergency services is “interesting” to say the least…Anyhow, great site, I never read blogs but this one is different, so I subscribed to teh RSS feeds.
