Which similarly has nowt to click.
I don't know if it makes any difference.. But are you visiting google.co.uk, or google.com?

Where I work, everything's linked up to US servers and it works on mine.. But we have a spare which is linked to UK ports etc.. It doesn't work on that one!

I eventually got a 16 score on hurdles. Still shite.

I got to 33 on one occasion on the basketball.

I lost the will to live on the canoing & swam for shore eventually.
