5 mins after posting, it all came back to life, now its carp again. Nothing wrong with connection or speeds as such, just web browsing. This site + lots of others.

It's very fishy, isn't it?
Perhaps you need to visit a different plaice?
Why don't you take a hake, while it goes away?
After all the Web has got a sole.

Indeed. I was was trying to measure the scale of the issue, but it's turning out to be a slippery eel. Weathers nice, so I might catch some rays and roe my boat. My herring is not so good these days, so I might get soused later.

Have you tried different browsers. IE 8 seems to have problems but Firefox seems OK.

This plaice is fine now with IE8.

I'm using Firefox. I never use IE

The latest update of Firefox has caused me no end of problems. I have to use IE to access sites like Facebook & the National Lottery website. Pages often don't refresh correctly, plus I'm having trouble with logging in on some sites. Sometimes it takes a number of attempts before the browser 'remembers' the log on details. Twitter and Digital Spy are both affected.
Firefox may well be playing a part in your browsing problems.

I can't help it if I poach the best gags.

I don't want to seem like an old trout but isn't that enough fish puns? Let salmon else have a chance.

No need to get crabby, just cos others have been having a whale of a time. I'm sure we can all winkle out a few more, and might repeat a few for the hard of herring.
|

trawling would have been better.. thanks for that... in this case it was trolling as in trolling lures.......
|
|
|
|
dont worry Ive made a mental note of all the good ones....
wingco's was pretty good.... and of course mine were excellent... salmon the others were small fry lol..

Well I'm glad we were able to warm the cockles of your heart. I just realised we've wasted so much time in here today. In fact, I thought:
"For Cod's Hake, I could have gone for a pint. If I'd gone to a barr I couda had much more fun."
I think you've all done this on porpoise.

I just got that. DOH!

I have been having this problem too, it probably is since I installed Firefox 3.5.2. I have an iGoogle page and some of the modules don't display although some of them do (same on a MyYahoo page)
I installed Chrome 4 Beta and everything was fine (and quick)
I take it this is an issue with Firefox 3.5.2?
|

I have had issues with Firefox so now use 'Opera'.

Eel be damned if i am going to be battered by this thread any longer. My line has got so tangled that I'm sure you all think I'll just clam up. Now, surely plusnet forum has better things to carp on about but I'm sure the usual sharks are circling on this thread. If cod had meant us to tell fish puns we wouldn't have to resort to such low tactics. The sole purpose of this thread seems largely pointless but a few people do seem to be posting serious comment. Before I flounder any further I'm going to sling my hook.

Two birds sat on a perch, one says to the other can you smell fish?

They dont seem to have drawn a tight line yet... But if you keep angling for it? We may be caught. The thread does seem to have got reely long so the mods might strike at any minute. Me Id rather be the one that got away.

Under the EEC Directive 385319, para 5 of the European Pun Quota 2006, I have to unfortunately close this thread.
The 2009/10 UK designated quote for puns has been exceeded well before the pun season has ended.
It should be noted that some of those puns were much smaller than officially sanctioned...and should have been thrown back for breeding purposes.
Closed.
P.S. The real reason....it was starting to get painful.
