    There's some pretty wrathful clouds outside my window at the moment, Tommy. I wonder how many spammers there are in Andover?

    Hello Tommy.

    Recently I had real trouble getting onto the cloud. Clearing my computer history was suggested and this seemed to do the trick. However then I couldn't get back on under my original user name (lizzy orr lizzie) can't remember which now!

    I have some work under my old user name in the critique section. Does this now mean I cannot remove it? I don't like leaving my work on here for my own personal reasons. I prefer to get a critique and remove them. Can you remove these works?

    Many thanks

    Tommy, that is exactly why I like England. Damp and Grey is good. Who wants the sun? Not me...*hisses*

    Hi Tommy,
    WordCloud is having a field day today. Apart from the fairly mundane not being able to see Marion's new blog - only the title, and not being able to send her a private message, when I was writing on her wall her location map was scrolling left and right as the text cursor moved around the message box!!!
    Good here, in'it?
