1220396 2011-08-01 20:02:00 I was out searching for my copy of the Southland times this morning. At 6am this morning I could be seen scouring my front lawn, looking in the road gutters, looking under the house and even looking in my letterbox. I gave up and turned the TV on. Apparently there is a computer glitch that has stopped some newspapers being printed.:badpc:

There is no DomPost today as well.

Good alternative, I know. But, somehow, having the newspaper to sit and read at leisure just seems better.

Ironically, it was apparently some sort of IT glitch that prevented the paper being printed.

1220403 2011-08-02 01:30:00 I usually do the crossword while having my morning coffee before I go to work. At least my coffee making is not reliant on a computer. I am suffering from Crossword Withdrawal Syndrome today.:crying:waughh: Bobh (5192)

Depends on the coffee maker these days.

I keep it simple. Electric jug, cup, spoon and ingredients.
