Alnico Blue . . still alive and kicking
« on: 28 February 2021, 10:06:07 »
Hi guys
              not been on here much recently  . . .2 reasons ..    Had Covid quite bad , am sort of recovered now  . . .but have the hanging on "Long Covid " symptons still.   The other reason is I have to use the old PC upstairs to get onto the site, for some reason my laptop won't allow me access and says I am banned from the site . I know next to "nuffin" about I.T. etc. so just using upstairs PC for OOF access when something important comes up .

  So just a heads up to say I am still about , as had a message or two from OOF members asking if i was OK  ( thanks for that)

Regards, Al   :y

Sorry to hear you've been very Ill
I hope your health picks up speedily and you get back to 100% very soon  :)

Using a VPN seems to be a common problem when logging in to the OOF  :-\
Hopefully someone more IT savvy than me  :D might be able to advise how to resolve your laptop issue if VPN is the problem

Sorry to hear you've been poorly, Al, hopefully your health will improve with time. The wife wasn't too bad with the actual covid, but it took her quite a while to get her breathing back to normal.
I expect your recovery will take longer as she is quite young and you're a really old geezer.  ;D

Don't rush things, mate. Summer is coming, you have sun, sand and fresh air to look forwards to. Just try not to worry about things, and give your body time to recover properly  :-*

 Hi  Albs      Just been able to in last couple of weeks.  I ordered one of the new Indonesian made Squier 50's strats just before I got the Covid. Only opened it to check it when it arrived , then stayed in the box for several weeks .  Have set it up now and got the "Big Boys" 11 gauge strings on it  and it is quite amazing for the money. Fiesta red  and very Hank Marvin  ;D ;D

Yes Dave ,  i'm sure putting the VPN on the laptop caused the issue . Although now ditched it and rebooted it still won't let me get on OOF  . . .says I'm banned  >:(

Non guitar people will have no idea what you are talking about    ;D   ::)  On electrics I still use 10s or even 9s (lazy sod me!)

Great to see you're ok and getting there    :y
