Hyma did say it was happening "for essential maintenence", and the holding page is difficult to steer away from.... Laughing

Go to Metropol and press "cancel" when prompted Laughing Laughing Laughing

It's more relaxing than watching Sput and Nini tussle around like "rats in a bag" . I'm assuming Gav has his mits on the neck of the bag while Hyma is still busy pressing buttons! Laughing Wink

The link to Metropol on the front page on TVF seems to be messed up.

That was due to the downtime caused by the upgrade to phpBB 3.0.3
Should be fixed now.

Where's Hyma?
I reckon Plymouth has kidnapped him & Hyma is trapped

Mwahahaha!!

Nothing quite so simple, Frau Hellfire! Young Hyma was locked away (with some company) in my Father’s cellar; suffering for his IT sins on Metropol according to the 'Gospel of St Bill of the Holy Gates' .

For company, I included fellow abductees Jimmy Ison and James H.

For food I left them with: a faulty microwave TG sold me from Tesco, 15 feral (but caged) haggis, two boxes of ‘Monster Munch’, a catering size pack of salted peanuts and four deep fried mars bars in recognition of Hyma's geordie heritage.

That should’ve been enough until next week until I went to Tesco again! It won’t be enough food now....as an escapee took some supplies! Jimmy (AKA Isonstine) escaped yesterday, through the air vent onto the main road and off into the fields. I was rather annoyed about that after the efforts I’d taken to secure the place! Shocked

James H was following him, but got stuck in the rather large exit space, I wonder why Laughing
I’ve had to get the builders round next week to sort out the structural damage James H caused trying to get out!

Anyway, to drag this back to the original title, I think the REAL mystery is: WHERE'S ISON? He's been gone for at least a week as well!

Ison posted:
Hey - don't panic folks. I'm over here. Look I'm waving.

With my nuts and monster munch, methinks!
(sorry, they were salt & vinegar flavour)
