Has anyone suffered the same connection problem as both myself and partner are getting, I use PC, he uses mac, we are on different numeris lines but we both get the problem that the machines occasionally appear to connect correctly but just don't work. On my pc the connection panel often shows a similar number of bytes transfered, in the region of 245 for what that is worth, but it does vary a little. It does not matter how long you leave the connection on, it will not transmit any data at all. Sometimes it can take up to 30 disconnections and reconnections before a stable connection is established, other times it can be instant. There is no apparent correlation with the time of day we try to connect. I spoke to 9online to no avail. I use a french modem card so it is not a hardware incompatability issue as sometimes happens with modems. I have a 'pay to use' numeris service with another isp which connects first time every time so it would appear not to be a hardware issue, is there some deep setting I need to optimise to work with 9online, or is it just their poor servers. Any assistance gratefully received

We just allowed the local shoot to use a room as a base for the shoot and for their lunchtime repast. In payment we received a leg of venison and a set of sanglier ribs. As these are sure to be such a treat, I don't want to make a mess of them due to lack of familiarity with their preparation and cooking. Should these pices of meat be 'hung' for a period before being cooked and if so for how long?, or are they better used quickly? Any suggestions for tasty ways to cook these will be most welcome Thanks
