My morning thus far, in tweet form. So much for a relaxed, chillful day. I’ve already missed the showing of The Hunger Games I wanted to see - will now have to goto the 1PM showing. As an addendum to the above? Natwest DM’d me on Twitter and told me their online department would look into it, even though they were convinced it was an issue with Virgin Media, as a few other VM customers were having similar problems. Virgin, were adamant it wasn’t a problem on their end, despite the fact I was able to access natwest.com via two separate cellphones, on different networks AND I asked someone with a different ISP to check - they had no probs. Then, I remembered Google DNS. Changed the DNS settings on my NIC card, stopped and started it - and suddenly I could access Natwest.com And yes, I’d been paid :) So now I’ve just gotta kill time, until I can pop off to go see The Hunger Games - a film that, as of the time of writing this, I should be 27 minutes into watching - instead I’ve got to wait 93 mins, until the next showing. Oh the joy.
