Am I the only one who can’t get on the Official Site’s Webboard?

[Arlene Rimmer BSc SSc]

I’m trying it on Firefox and on whatever the hell it is that makes AOstupidsoddingL only just work, and I get nothing save the occasional “timed out” message on the latter.

[AnnabelS]

nope, I can’t even get to the main site over there.

The official site would appear to be down.

[John Hoare]

Yeah, the whole site is down, not just the Webboard. It’s been down since at least yesterday afternoon.

[John Hoare]

…and now it’s back up.

[Arlene Rimmer BSc SSc]

Good! I had a question I wanted answered over there.

By the way, purely off-topic: Who is the second oldest of the brothers Rimmer? Does anyone know this? I think canon material may be a bit unclear on the matter…

[Tarka Dal]

I’m reading the entire forum, from the back.

Who is the second oldest brother?

[Pete Part Three]

Has it ever been specified?

Rimmer calls them “John, Howard and Frank”, so you’d assume they were born in that order. John is presumably the oldest (since he’s already a test pilot when Arn, as a child, is still “playing with Howard and Frank”).

In other news, they don’t actually exist so even Rob and Doug probably don’t know.

[Pete Part Three]

I’m not sure why I bothered to look this up, but…

It’s slightly different in the books but John still seems to be oldest. John is the youngest captain in the space-corps, and Frank is about to break this record (meaning he’s slightly younger).

In this continuity, it’s Howard that is the test-pilot.

[Tarka Dal]

I’ll try not to dredge up too old threads. Promise.
