I think we're getting close... I need volunteers to keep periodically checking to see if the redirect occurs. I can't get it to happen at the moment but it will probably come back, and when it does, we (Frostfire and I...mostly Frostfire ) are gonna catch it!

I just did a very informal test to a server in New York City, USA with a USA based VPN (Tunnelbear) and without any VPN. The VPN results were 1.19Mbps/0.9 Mbps and the results without the VPN were 15Mbps/3Mbps, so in this case,I would say the VPN slows the data rate considerably. As jacko says above, it does vary all over the place, but my impression overall is that VPN is slower, in spite of what one of my techie friends claims. He says VPN outside Thailand is faster because the Thai censorship software can't spend time searching through it's huge database of blocked sites for the con

Buffaloes do get sick. How is one to know what's true and what's a fraud? Shall we condemn all buffaloes to misery and sickness and possibly death because they have been used as excuses for more money by some? Know your buffalo!

Thanks. This one has caused me to lose most of my hair in the last years. Next step is for it to turn grey.

Damn! Damn! Damn! The URL4SHORT redirect has reinfected the forum again.

Only if you know the buffalo personally.

Is it okay now?

That's another problem...I'll look into it and post here shortly.

Indeed! Okay, I have made some changes that might have eliminated the problem (with the help Frostfire, hacker whiz), and I haven't been able to reproduce the redirection problem. Guys...care to give it another go and report back?

Just goes to show how long the Brits have been dreaming about having any relevance to the USA and its politics, LOL.

It's even worse in the bar!

It was funny 7 years ago too, and probably before that.... https://starrgazr.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/john-cleeses-letter-to-america/

Quoting anything from that Quisling Michael Yon is frowned upon.

I hate you! Seriously, thanks for continuing to check. I really thought I'd nailed it this last time.

After my post about Fire and Stone, I received my pizza. I was not impressed. Personally, I find the New York Pizza place on 3rd Road to be my favorite overall.

It's like some faux Empire stuff that somebody thinks looks elegant, instead of ornate and laughable.

Did you ever get any pizza?

In the USA..

Very informative and, for a hotel review, surprisingly entertaining and humorous! You'll not be staying there again, I take it.

Look in the thread firth's night out

We'll see, Odense. No promises.

If you have access to the forum while you are out, I can update our progress as we go so that late comers can join the group. FLB might be a bit too hot (no aircon) to stay in very long. Alternatively, I could update Moulie (at FLB) with our whereabouts and anyone coming late could drop by and ask her where we were last at. Still, 10 or 15 minutes shouldn't be a problem at all.
