Talking How long did it take you to give up frantically refreshing?
Haha.

I was refreshing like every 5 minutes for the first hour.

Felt so sad

Then I got a msn message saying it was back

I was refreshing a lot too at first thinking it was just my internet or something. I gave up after about 5 minutes and just kept checking back every now and then during a TV break.

Probably 15 times over the space of 3 hours. I thought it might have been my dial up to start with.

About a year ago I would of, Now I stopped giving a sh*t.

The only thing I was worried about was the fact I had a game planned and couldn't get on for that.
