"Putting the bins out!"....even this pleasure Baldrick

, has been taken from me ...[pending a new hip on 11/10].......

So a very kind neighbour is assisting with my weekly rubbish bin........

I scour Liquorland to find not expensive [sub $8.00

] bottles....last week, I found a Wolf Blass red for $6.00 on 1/2 price special

Whilst she says it is not necessary........usually on a Monday evening in early dark hours, I place a green bag at her door step

It's only for a few more weeks................

Guess who's family went to Hobbiton? Though they went to the Green Dragon not the Prancing Pony

All very nice to have the autumn Mayhem banner, but it’s spring here in the Antipodes

Peter.

Before I book have you sorted out your Locust population ?.

I think they all drowned in the floods

We don’t get them where we live, they mostly affect the inland areas, west of the Great Dividing Range, and a lot of that is currently flooding. We had our floods in February/ March, and the local towns are still recovering.

Hello Derek sorry about your woes, hope all resolved soon.

Earlier this year I was a bit west of you in Adelaide when we found a superb Reisling. Four Points 2021 Reisling, not all that dear either. don't bother with the 2019 no where near as good! When I return late February 2023 I hope there is still some left as Andrew bought 2 cases of it!
Have a good Christmas.

OK .... and we're Back!

It seems that Mayhem is under a sustained DoS attack ( Denial of Service),
https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/denial-service-dos-guidance-collection

The DoS attack doesn't need to be for any particular reason, hackers sometimes do it just for the hell of it.

The attack just slows everything down, hence the slow loading pages.......

We still looking into a permanent solution but what we've tried so far has done

all !

They should be SHOT!

What harm are we doing to anyone?

I moderate on another forum and the same thing happens there. Fortunately we have a very proficient web administrator who is experienced in beating off these type of attacks.

As Martin says, some people get their kicks for doing this for fun.

Apparently we have 5,816 guests online tonight!

Sorry my bad now it 8,471

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #1611 on:** June 11, 2025, 10:02:55 pm »

Usually these attacks die down after a while as the perpetrators move on to other victims.

....... Can anyone recommend a new Web Hosting service?!

Run your server as a virtual machine - then giving it more memory is easy

Only once, every other time I tried it just said 'Cannot reach this page, please contact the site's owner' as if I'd have any way of doing that!!!
