    One for Corrie viewers

    And another

    A woman called Lorraine comes to the street and becomes possessive of David and will not let him mix with anyone else. This upsets David as he has developed a crush on Ken's wife. Eventually Lorraine tires of David and leaves. That night David walks into the Rovers' singing.

    Help!! Catz google searches are being hampered by this:

    We're sorry...

    ... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

    Any way around it :confused:

    :cry:

    A google search gives 333 000 hits on that error message. I've had it when I visit google newsgoups but it seems to pass of it's own accord

    So, I have to go away for a few days in a couple of weeks and wondering: shall I take the next day off work to catch up on the comps & that.

    I'm not addicted am I? :eek:

    catz - I love your new smilies! They make me giggle out loud & smile a stupid big grin! :D
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
  • hi not being someone who likes waiting was just wondering if there is an instant win thread listing the comps where you find out 'there and then' if you have won?. thanks PP
