It's up to the individual how to react and social pressure and political expediency does NOT or should not be a factor. It could be argued that he too was under pressure as the leader of many republicans to extend an olive branch, or not. Whatever the motivation, seeing two such prominent leaders shake hands changed the course of history... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That point was surpassed in my view at the point when it had clearly been explained and proved that what I said to another associate was about the situation he was put in after her actions had created. It was only then she begrudgingly acknowledged that but then still went on to claim I wasnt telling the truth, in other words lying and also said on two occasions that I was bullying her during the process by invading her work area and shouting at her both of which I did not do and have a witness to prove otherwise. This is from someone who is trying to get into management side of things here too god help us . As I sit here on my break the person in question is sat 5 ft away in a soundproof booth to my left with headphones on staring into a laptop trying to negotiate the management infrastructure of the company 🙄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will NEVER be full peace until both factions realise the futility of their actions, i expect hell to freeze over first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Problems with the FOC website ever since the last update a few weeks ago @alexp999 Ever since the site had some sort of update a few weeks ago I have been getting errors at least once a day from the FOC server. Some of the text on the drop down search menus is also outside of the text box. I know of at least one other member who is also having the same problem. Any ideas of what's wrong and when it will be fixed ? Thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Not sure if I'm being thick here. Received a picture in the mail today. There's some sort of hanging bracket supplied with it, but I just can't fathom how it's meant to work. I assume that big ugly square doesn't sit above the frame. But if it sits below the top crossbar, I can't see how anything would go in the square hole from the wall side either. Surely this isn't rocket science!?

I restarted my Computer and that did not fix it, also my there was something using up Its resources at a high rate. I switched off completely for a few minutes and when I switched on there was a Windows update pending. I installed it and have had no problems so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels really counter intuitive! If it's a really basic wooden frame, you can buy an 'old fashioned;' picture hanging kit from most discount stores which will have multiple closed cup hook type fixings along with picture wire. I think PoundLand do them for a £1 LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth trying to clear your browsers cache for this website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - was pretending I was an IT guy LOL Well, as it happens, the laptop completely died this morning. Set it to 'sleep' as usual, left it on charge, and when I came back at lunch time, nothing at all. An hour later, battery removed and replaced, lots of 'blowing' vents, and finally put my full weight on the broken corner where the on/off button is...and finally it restarted! Opened browser, FOC still stuck on 'bad request'. Might be solved by clearing the cache or cookies, but I don't want to lose all the 'good' info for logins and shopping baskets etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 @TomsFocus You may need to clear your cache and cookies as it may be corrupted, If you try incognito or guest or a new browser guise it should work because you are working from a fresh cache. It could also be a corrupted DNS cache too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
