Likely the busiest messageboards in the UK - the BBC - have all been down for four hours as I type.
I had to laugh, somehow. All those new threads (they splurge ~20 new threads per BBC episode/per programme, all overlapping with multiple/same opinions), all those angry/sad/equivocal/learned/hostile/completely wet posts which did not happen.
It's only their site. Everything else on the net works fine. I think it is Zeus's way of saying get away from the computer and do something else more useful.
