Go Suck an Orange

In the beginning there was FreeServe. It morphed into Wanadoo and it was good. Then Wanadoo was eaten by an Orange and they took the pith out of their customers. Support involves being patronised by a fact-shitting Geek on a premium rate 'phone number and their Web mail is so flaky it's practically unusable. As an ex-FreeServe mail account holder I can't even configure the anti-spam settings without receiving an incomprehensible message about my message having the characteristics of a virus. Sorry guys, I'm changing my settings, not sending a message. The final straw was being asked to stump up and extra £3 a month for my Web space. Those generous Orange boys offered me 5 free Web pages generated by a piss-poor authoring tool designed for the Facebook generation, so I told them to spin. Alas, no more New Bridlingtonian.

So kiddies, I'll be using this (rather impressive) blog site for the foreseeable future. I'm still exploring its possibilities so it'll take a few weeks to settle down in style and content. Please be patient - I'm doing my best.
