Anyone else experiencing problems?

The website is down, and i can't get BBC1 or 2, just complaining about technicial problems, tuned into radio 1 and they are going on about it being dark in the studio, sound like they've had a power cut?

Radio 1 just said something about emergency lightning not being light enough to read their sheets, definately a power failure there.

Haven't you heard? Arista has broke in and is exterminating all employees, apparently now he is smashing in windows like those young london punks. He can't face the bloated BBC, he is hoping Murdoch will buy it.

Default The last time it happened was .....
November 5th, 2009

http://www.wirefresh.com/bbc-website...age-in-the-uk/

Quote:
Entire BBC website suffers catastrophic crash starting at 1.40am onwards, crashing completely at 2am, and remaining offline for over an hour with the service still unusable at 03.15am.

It’s such an unusual occurrence for the entire BBC site to go down that it becomes news in itself, but as of now (02.25am, UK time), the site has been totally down for over 25 minutes.

Arrow www.bbc.co.uk, the BBC's news website, was offline for over half an hour
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...e-down-offline

The BBC's website, bbc.co.uk, went offline, with no clear sign when it would be up again.

The corporation's press office said it was not in a position to comment, but it was clearly something that had taken them by surprise.

The sprawling network of websites, known collectively as BBC Online, launched in 1997. On 24 January this year the BBC confirmed it would cut its online budget by 25%, or £34m, but it seems unlikely the cuts would affect the technology needed to keep the site online.
Seems to be OK now :

We should start an internet rumour that the BBC website was taken down by mad Justin Beiber fans who were angry they hadn't covered his new hair cut... the irony is the fans are so detested everyone would believe it... start tweeting this happened!

"It didn't take long for the Twitterverse to catch light with conspiracy theories. "So the entire BBC website is offline – a glimpse of the future if the Murdochs and their pals, David Cameron & Jeremy Hunt, have their way," wrote DickMandrake."

Do not be so silly
you are getting like our Judas.


The Bloated BBC
and its BBC TAX
is out of date for this day and age.

They can stand alone
like BBCAmerica does,
