    After a while out in the wilderness and having not ridden for 18 months due to personal reasons I'm coming back to the fold and of course my first port of call is the old friend UKRM.

    So, who's dead, who's fallen out with who etc?

    Still got the Varadero and the Guzzi. nowt changed there.

    So, currently using Google groups to lurk but wanted to check what is the current server of choice for all self respecting ukrm'ers? Is the German server still top dog? I dont need or want binary stuff so nothing fancy, just simple reliable will do fine.

  2. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, entwisi
    1: Who the **** are you?
    2: Wrap lines, newbie scum.
    3: Welcome back.
    The German Server rules. Ignore the chavs who will attempt to woo you to
    the wops.

    In my order of preference :-
    news.albasani.net
    www.aioe.org
    news.eternal-september.org

    All decent free usenet servers, text only.

    'depends on what you want to do with it. If it's just posting privileges
    you're after, your ISP might have a news.whatever.their.name.is.com box.
    If you want to be able to libel with impunity, I'd suggest one of the
    offshore services.

    I know, I was almost embarrassed that its been so long since I last
    made it to one. As it is, First born is now nearly 6 and little Lad is
    fast approaching 2 so its not like they need mega care anymore. SWMBOs
    away for BOSM but soon as I know EOSM dates I'll try my best to make
    it one way or another. and no, I wont be bringing him :eek:)

  14. Hey, you take care laddie, Tiny was my mate he was. He said so lots.

    Was it really that long ago? Amazing how many of the tea shirts from that
    era I still have.

    I think the only one in the last 18 months is Marina. SteveH & Paul
    Carmichael came close but managed to avoid walking into the light.
    2011 is the year "you're a ****" was replaced by "go **** yourself".
    The archives will tell you why.
    eternal-september's 99.999% reliable & free.

  18. I am sure there are those who would claim it is twice as reliable.

    What I do? It's probably obvious but after the usual end of year mayhem
    yesterday followed by a 5 hour drive, I'm completely flaked today.
