To the callow youths (as the tossers looking after the Amazon bot almost certainly are) anybody over 30 would be regarded as geriatric.

It's still hammering away but sending an immediate 403 (forbidden) requires far less resource than running a php script to create a forum page from the database. I've set it to allow the robots.txt file regardless now so if they read that and obey the directive to sod off then even the load generating 403s will be removed too.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 06:53:22 PMI fear I'd be described as one and I don't even like the term 'elderly'. I'm an older person, thank you very much.
I think 'senior citizen' might be a more appropriate term.

As for me, I'm a doddering old bugger.

Pity Damian Hirst wasn't involved.  It'd be a real talking point to have a tank full of formaldehyde with a dissected King Charles floating in it.

My mother had a do it yourself will, worked fine. I looked into the P.O.A. But it was far to expensive. I looked on Ebay and they now do perfectly legal do it yourself ones.
Lots of people simply can't afford to pay lawyers for expensive ones.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 06:11:59 PMIt was my birthday last week, I've had a weekend away in Leicestershire at a lovely spa, with my daughter and daughter in law and some friends.  Fabulous place, we've been going for quite a few years, it's a real treat.  Unfortunately the facial, lovely as it was, hasn't knocked thirty years off!

Back to normality (whatever that is) now, but can't complain.  Had some blood results, I'm no longer pre-diabetic  :yahoo: and the postie brought me news of a small win on the Premium Bonds  :yay:


How wonderful - the Spa, the Premium win, and the escape from pre-diabetes.  They say things come in threes!
