OT: Anybody near Meppershall, Beds?

Looks like my home server has gone phut in my absence so I'm currently
sitting at my mum's computer in Switzerland browing fleabay for a
proper server replacement.

Is anybody near the above location who would be able to collect a
rather heavy machine in person during normal working hours and store it
until the following weekend? I can't really pick it up during the week
at the moment unless I'd risk life and limb by shortening the holiday.

I'm in Milton Keynes (about 20-25 miles away) during the week (Monday
a.m to Friday mid-day) but in Worksop Notts at weekends.

Its not too much of a problem getting time of in the day (I'm
freelance)

If no-one else "volunteers" get back to me (addy in header is valid)
and we'll work the logistics out ok?

I can take it to Timos in Kent. I often have to go to Ashford area on
business.

You just want another night in the Navigation ogling Chrissy & Karen
don't you?

That's code for having a drink with you and your mate Bert, isn't it?

ISN'T IT?

Something seems to distract you from letting me know so I can put the
battery out, though :)

Can do if it can be collected tomorrow or Wednesday.

Thanks for the offer - I've put a bid in for the machine (auction ends
tonight) although I'm still trying to get matey to ship it...

Got outbid :(.

Ah well.

What was it, just out of interest?

A Compaq ML370 server - I'm after something that canrun 24/7 with a
minimum of fuss.

Oh, and Switzerland is rather wet and cold, and I had to get the Beemer
to the dealers over here already...
