houyhnhnm:

My browser displays the following message when it stalls 
out trying to download hpfgu home page:
Waiting[#2} for connection to hpfgu.org.uk

I usually click the stop button after two or three 
minutes and proceed to the messages, but then I get 
the same message when I am trying to access other 
web pages (that have nothing to do with hpfgu).  
I tried deleting the cookies but it didn't 
make any difference.

but is obstinately resisting forking out the cash for broadband.
