Forbidden!

Manolo says, apparently not all of the problems caused by the Manolo’s weekend change of the servers have gone away. If have you tried to access the Manolo’s website, but have received the message that said you were “Forbidden”, do not despair. You are perhaps using the Firefox or the Mozilla web browser. You must open the “Preferences” page and clear the cache, quit your browser and restart it and the Manolo’s blog should thereafter appear.

What the Manolo Is…

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is… Reading… Watching… Listening to… This has been the very busy few days for the Manolo, but he has still had the time to read one more of the Martin Amis novels he had missed.
