That's interesting, I just tried that last link with Opera and
reached the site yet again. Clicked the "next picture arrow' and
copied the url...

Try removing the final comma in yor link and see whether that helps
(I suspect not since it didn't stop Opera reaching the site).

Perhaps it's a name server issue? My ISP is virginmedia if that has
any bearing on the issue.

I think that the BBC's attitude used to be the same for the BBC World
Service, it is not paid for out of licences fees.

It was funded by the C&FO

But it's the likes of thee and me (well maybe only the likes of me) who
funds the C & FO.

1. It's the F & CO or more accuately the FCO
2. They no longer fund the BBC World Service.

Then I guess it's your location, as it works here.


Works for me, using Ubuntu 10.04, FF 19.0.2, and just clicking the link
above. I'm in East Anglia, and don't use any proxies. I use Zen as my
ISP, which might help.

The link posted by Andy Burns goes through a proxy. Zen is my ISP too, but
the ISP is not the issue here.

Rubbish. It isn't a Google Chrome issue.

That became swiftly apparent.


Try to be objective. One gets sick of willy wavers.

It's interesting that you recognised why I did not feel the need to
change my vote. ;-)

When I was at school the teacher told the class a joke about 'two
queers', the punchline being, "It's my turn to be frank." None of us

True enough, but if someone puts up a big fence, it's human nature to
peer over it ...
