Thats been tried before, Theresa and he never falls into that trap! He polishes a pair of shoes well too.

Would he like to do mine too? I have got a great iron, one careful owner, hardly ever used.

Never do any ironing, OH does it for something to do in the evenings. We bought the last iron to suit him, not me!

I got 999 coming up on my Media Box (for tv) after I had moved the box and pulled the connection out (mea culpa).

Phoned V. Media (on 31/12/09) followed their automated suggestions, still no luck. Got back to them again, automated message ."..busy so you may have to wait fifteen minutes"
After thirty-three minutes, another recorded message "we are closed"

Tried again on new years day. Very helpful lady said. Use your remote to request BBC1.

It worked!!!! Now why didn't it do that when I tried (a few times) the night before?

Maybe as you say a temp. fault. Servr me right for moving things round so thaat I could do the ironing while watching tv!

P.S. I still haven't done the ironing

Googled error 999, and it seemed to say that it would right itself given a few hours. When I tried computer this morning my E-mail was back.

If you google error 999 there are lots of options and explanations.

Edit. I don't know enough about it to advise however there are some fixes and information about what causes the problem.
