Excellent error message

I found this error message whilst trying to look at the used car section of the Gloucestershire Echo. I thought it was very honest and funny.

Thank you for coming to fish4 this morning.
We apologise for the inconvenience, but we are currently carrying out
urgent repair work on our systems after a critical hardware failure
this morning. We hope this work will be completed by 11:30am,
and will update this estimate if necessary as the work progresses.

Unfortunately the fish4 website is unavailable due to the failure of a very expensive piece of Sun hardware (
Sun 6900). A Sun engineer is at the data centre but didn't think to bring the replacement part with him.

We hope the Sun engineer will have repaired the hardware by 12pm, and will update this estimate if necessary as the work progresses.
Once again, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused, and do visit us again when we're back online.

Suits you sir

Batman, Elvis and the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, knew the value of a cape.

Federer's hand-stitched jacket was made for him by Nike, and includes a self-styled tennis crest: the F for his surname name in gold script, a tuft of grass, three rackets for his three titles, the Swiss cross and his Leo astrological sign.
