Συγγνώμες. Λυπάμαι ότι έχετε το πρόβλημα καταλαβαίνοντας τα μηνύματά μου αλλά δυστυχώς οι τύποι πληκτρολογίων μου μόνο στο ελληνικό αλφάβητο και δεν ξέρω ακόμα πώς να λύσω αυτό το πρόβλημα.

BG, I don't think anybody ever will understand it, there's something really weird happening here !
Last night I opened up these posts (as moderator/administrator I can do that) to see if I could change it. What was actually written INSIDE was nothing like what you see above, it was written in some kind of Greek or maybe Russian alphabet. I copied what was written and tried to re-post it but it STILL came out looking like what's written above, then I accidentally deleted the whole thing.
This new one above appeared early this morning and I opened that up too and copied it but when I tried to post it again it yet again came out looking like it does here. So I then went over and pasted it into a page on my website (which I couldn't do until this morning, because my admin. section was off the air for hours last night!).
Even then, when I viewed the page it STILL came out looking the same, until I finally tried enclosing it in <> > < like html and writing something else either side of it, then it FINALLY turned out the right way on the page. If you want to read it the way it's meant to look here's a link to the page:-
http://cluelessonline.2cuk.co.uk/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA.html
(the AAAAAAAAAAAAAA was a cry for help ! LOL !)
Now the REALLY weird thing is that when I came on here this afternoon I opened up the message from Vicky again, and now the writing on the INSIDE of it looks exactly the same as what you can see above !
I don't understand it at all, UNLESS the site is censoring it for some reason (the way it did when Fussy typed Pussy if you remember ?) Maybe it thinks the Foreign script is something naughty and is altering it, though why it should do that is quite beyond me. Weird, weird, weird.

Very Strange I must say .
It seems it is a mixture of Font Types that then seems to translate into a code ,but I cannot make head nor tail of the code .

Gremlins again!
I didn't post the above. IT POSTED ITSELF.
It didn't give me a chance to start my message even.
Anyway, I don't think Vicky's message is meant to be understood. I think, as Clueless suggested...it's a coded objection by the powers that be.
Ho! Ho! Ho! WEIRD!

I don't think it's meant to be in code, as far as I can see the original messages were in a genuine Foreign language, but for some reason the server hosting this website doesn't recognise it and is trancribing it into something else, but I don't understand why (unless, as I said, it's something to do with the censorship feature) or it might just have been temporary blip.
Just to test it out, could each of you follow the link above to the page on my website where I copied the original posting, then copy it yourselves, come back here and paste it and see if it comes out the same way every time ?
I have to admit that it's got me stymied !

I'll bet her translator program isn't working properly., or she's using a keyboard programmed in a foreign language.

Hello Vicky,
You mention...dactyl, which is commonly known in Greek and Latin to be a stressed
syllable sometimes followed by a unstressed syllable.
It sounds like you have a keyboard/translator
problem.
You can still communicate with us, and we will do our best to help you along.... the best way we can.
It will be interesting to know, where your home is. What country are you calling from?
Keep trying, we are glad to hear from you.

Hi Vicky!
Welcome to Clueless' Madhouse! Nice to see you on here.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it and we all look forward to hearing more from you.
Most of the members on Clueless Online are from Wales, but we also have several members from Canada as well. They' re originally from Wales but emigrated. What about you? What part of Greece are you from?

I emanate from Komotini that is in the North-Eastern region of Greece, enough near to in Bulgaria, but this period I work in a other country. I became interested in the Wales because I am a big fan of actor Ioan Gruffudd that I have many times seen in the cinemas.

Vicky you will be pleased to know that many of us on here are from or still live in a small welsh mining town called Aberdare where Ioan Gruffydd was brought up and went to school for a while.
Also the Stereophonics come from our town too and are still around here from time to time!
Isnt that right guys?

I didn't know that Ioan Griffiths used to live in Aberdare ! Well fancy that ! I sort of vaguly remember seeing him on Pobol-Y-Cwm years ago when he was a boy, but I always assumed he was from somewhere in Mid-Wales (probably because he could speak Welsh and not that many people in Aberdare did)
Mind you, when I left he was probably still in nappies, so I don't expect I would have known him ! LOL !

Vicky,
It is nice to hear that you are a 'fan' of a Welsh film star.
Ioan Gruffudd was born in Cardiff, Wales, UK on October 6th, 1973.
You can read further details about him on the following website.

I had a quick look at that site ,it is very interesting .It tells you all about actors lives and also the films they have been in .
The internet is incredible it is absolutely jam packed with information on practically everything you would ever want to know .

BG,
Yes, that site is a cracker. You can get any information about any film you care to name.
And personal data about any film star.
My late brother, who was a carpenter worked in Elstree Studios in the late 20s and early 30s making background scenics for various films of that era. He had mentioned to me before he died of the films and stars he was involved with, and I was able to trace back
most of his connections with various people
by logging on to www.imdb.com.
It is a good site.

It is not easy for with I occupy all because first should I translate all in the Greek, and the translations is not always absolutely precise thus even when have been translated I should sometimes fights to comprehends.
But I believe that Larry he makes a joke because his name is Lamb and Lambs traits of in a lot of Greek recipes. It is I right?
I think that Bob is also joker individual? In the first I thinking that also it placed in a foreigner language, but has now followed his link with his homepage and I see that it makes the jokes for the beer. Me it makes to laughter 
I also followed have links of Ioan Gruffudd.He is very handsome do not you agree?I wish might I visit his homeland some of days.

Yes, nice and bright (I have to admit that I had no idea what the Greek flag looked like, I'll have to brush up on my flags)
Mystery Lady, I don't know what went wrong with the clock, but it's happened a couple of times before. If you cast your mind back I mentioned it earlier this month.
On the night of the 27th/28th of March when the clocks went forward, I assumed that the clock on this Forum would change automatically, but the next day I realised that it hadn't, so after a bit of a struggle I managed to put it forward myself.
It was alright for a few days, but then sometime later that week I noticed that it gone forward ANOTHER hour and was an hour fast, so I re-set it yet AGAIN, but then it changed BACK again and I had to reverse it.
I thought it was cured now, but it must have had another 'blip' in the night. Maybe it regularly goes funny in the early hours and we've neve noticed ? After all, MOST people aren't around at that time of day, and those that are tend to be the ones living abroad so they'd be less likely to notice if it was wrong as they're in a different time-zones anyway !
I don't know if it's just coincidence, but one of our Videos re-set itself again on Sunday and they haven't done that for a while now.
My Mother wanted to see Heartbeat, Born and Bred AND Cefn Gwlad which were ALL on between 8 and 9, so I set the recorders to record two of them and she watched the third one live. But before that, about half-way through Emmerdale, I was in the kitchen and my Mother called to me that there was something wrong with the clock on the recorder in her room. When I looked at it it read 18.32, but the right time obviously was about quarter past 7.
I immediately switched it on and looked at the Menu and it had changed not only the time, but the date as well, it read 12.04.04 .... 18.34 instead of 24.04.04 .... 19.16 so I had to re-set it in a hurry ! Just as well we found out before 8'0'clock, or she'd have missed one of the programmes as the Video wouldn't have recorded it for another 12 days, 1 hour and 47 minutes !
Gawd knows what causes all these things, Poltergeists, Gremlins, whatever they are I just wish they'd B*****r off and leave us in peace !

It's definitely the 'Polty.'
Ho! Ho! Ho!
What else could it possibly be? It certainly isn't normal to have clock times, videos and lights throwing up tantrums so frequently.
I'll have to come down there Clueless to drown the little b****r in my Baileys.
I remember reading about a method that was tried by someone in Devon (I think it was in Honiton) some years ago. A wineglass containing vinegar was placed somewhere near the fireplace,...it was intended to rid the premises, of the Poltergeist. If the glass was knocked over it meant that he had 'scarpered' as it was thought that the Polty hated the sight of vinegar.
Worth a try? But place it somewhere where
Sadie and Sophie and the cats can't get to it.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Wouldn't it be wonderful if it solved the problem.
