Glass in the left hand, mouse in the right, its very difficult to type pointless messages with your nose, and it does make it go rather red

Stupid flipping Census form
Just filled this in online BUT had what I now understand is a very common problem
Access code and post code didn't match - it said.
Switched from Safari to Firefox
Still didn't match
Eventually phoned the helpline and after going through all the options [ will admit they were clear and not rushed ] and got a human person .
"Oh' quoth he.
"Close your browser , re-open it , go to the Census Site and put the Access Code and your Postcode in using lower case letters "
I said " you are surely not serious "
"Yes" quoth he " This is happening to lots of people - just use lower case and it will accept it. "
He was right.
Now what blooming chump made up a paper form showing things in uppercase and you are then told to enter it online exactly as it appears on the printed form , and that doesn't work "
BAH
Form now completed and accepted .
Hope this helps any other user with a similar problem.

Luckily we don't have such things here. They know everything about us anyway without the need for more form filling.
I filled in the census once when we lived in the UK. My husband was away on business so it fell to me to fill it in. Horrible job.
The problem with the online form sounds fairly typical sadly. They don't test these things enough before they go live.

I concur with Gwyn - I just watched RND from 7-00pm until 2-00am - some brilliant stuff and great value and co-operation.
Sadly I was crying by 7-08 when I saw little kiddies the age of my granddaughter struggling to exist with cataracts.
I donated twice as much as last year because I now realise that life is not fair and not finite and I can always do without something.
If they need someone to press the button on the trapdoor for all the dictators,bent politicians,warlords and other scum who help perpetrate this injustice in 2011 - I`m yer man - !!!!!
Rant over - sorry

Guess what I've just spent the last 2 hours doing?It's a while since we had a pointless, rambling topic. One where people could say anything, as long as it's not too serious!

And it's a year to the day, although the birthday proper is tomorrow!!!

Knut has died. He was only 4. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12796359
HG - I had an aunt who used to say it's five o'clock somewhere before drinking down her G&T on a Sunday morning, after early mass .
Afaik she never drank to excess, and wasn't an alcoholic - she just enjoyed an early G&T. If I'd had to put up with my cousins like she did I'd probably have had a few too.

I hate to gloat, but what a magnificent Ireland performance today. Where was that team for the last couple of months?
