When it happens to me, I just keep hitting the Refresh button until I gain access.

It's when the Moon enters Saturn, and then runs in conjunction with any Statements from Nicola Sturgeon at that time, it effects the airwaves which causes a climatic breakdown, which results in these problems you are having on this site.

Yes an error also occurred when Robbie Savage was born.

Last night and again this morning 40 mins.

Difficult to connect when I got home from the match at about 6-30om last night, suspect it was due to the heavy load responding to our good performance.

[Woolly Mammoth]

It happens more often than not when Robbie Savage uses his hairdryer.

Getting similar message several times but using browser refresh, or go back a step in history and be patient before trying the same step forward again, does work eventually and so the underlying problem seems to be a busy server which is producing the fault page rather than queuing the request and offering a please wait message to the user.

Your problem Mince may be caused by you wearing a pair of the wife's tights again. With or without the horse it can cause static electricity of epic proportions.

You are one very odd individual. Some of your content is ok, but you have the tendency to go OTT and kill a lot of good content.
