As we say in networking circles:

Gigaport is administratively down, line protocol is down

That, my friends, is what happens when something is shut down by the system administrator. Perhaps because it isn’t needed, or it’s actions are having an undesireable effect on the network as a whole. Or perhaps not, I’m merely speculating.

Walsall Regeneration Company has been shut down after funding was withdrawn. Hopefully Mike Bird will now have more time on his hands to continue the sterling job of leading the council.

Oh Noes. Who will save us now? We can’t build any more Tesco stores, surely, and we already have an ugly Asda store. Waitrose won’t touch Walsall, so someone had better get Netto on speedial.
