Things you'd like to say, but can't

[Speicher]

It wasn't remotely funny! You will regret your amusement. Anytime that I see you struggling to do something, I will completely ignore your look of puzzlement.

Ooh - I just got a confirmation email from Plusnet ... My discount is for the full term of the contract so that is 18 * £9 saved, = £162!

They confirmed that I can upgrade to a fibre package with the same discount as soon as my local cabinet is connected to fibre. That should happen within 12 months. With the discount, a 76 Mb/s connection would cost me what my current 15-16 Mb/s was costing me.


Looks like only the local bookies offer it!

We have finally got a decent 4G signal on O2 in Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. I couldn't even get 3G before that. I decided that I'd sign up for 1 GB worth of 4G a month (giffgaff on O2) which will usually be ample for when I am out and about.

What is is 'fibre' of which you speak? We have miniature pteradactyls which scurry around carrying information to and fro.

I think it is what they used to use to line the nests of the now-redundant carrier pigeons!

The annoying thing is that our exchange is already feeding fibre links out to much of the town and I saw engineers feeding fibre ducts through the local drains towards the green cabinet at the end of my road but it will be up to a year before they actually connect fibre to it.

If it was, we'd all be a little crazy right now, on our Ouija boards, singing

We have fibre at the cabinet which is about 75 metres from our front door. But we live on an unadopted road - and it would cost about £30k minimum to get the cable run down the road. Most of the people along here are retirees who aren't that bothered about internet connectivity.

I was going to suggest Virgin Media until I read THIS!

Why tell everyone that something is wrong just to say it's right further in the sentence? Basic psychology says that anyone reading will give credence to the first sentence.
Why even involve me at all if it's already sorted and other people contacted?
'You didn't look. You didn't read'. Well thanks. Just do it yourself.

So you smoked for 40 years, were overweight and gradually developed Type 2 Diabetes, gaining weight steadily. You continued to pile on weight, had two heart attacks, and then a triple bypass surgery, continued to gain weight after the operation, so had a stomach reduction surgery, lost weight for 6 months then piled on even more than you had before. You climb a single flight of stairs and have to sit for 5 minutes before you have the breath to speak.

Then sit with us for 3 hours and in that time eat, a pastie, two chocolate bars and some Gummy Bears, before going home for your supper. You're 2 years younger than me, who, while no paragon of physical fitness is a lot fitter! Then you ask how come life is so unfair but cannot see that you are eating yourself to death!

You had an "accident" at work, due to the way you had to lift something. This "accident" was so bad that you had to go home, right away, with no thought of getting medical help.

Yet, by the end of the same week you're posting online, saying your doing something that shouldn't be possible given your "accident" earlier in the week. Given that you're planning on making a claim, never having been shown how to lift something heavy, despite being there long enough to know better(you never let others forget).

Don't you think that it's one of the places they will look, given that you claim they were at fault. Justifying to yourself, your reason for making the claim.

This "accident" at work isn't connected in anyway by chance to having been pulled over recently and failing the roadside test and you being due in court for driving whilst twice over the limit?

Dear advertiser

Life is NOT better with Tampax Compact Pearl

I've had some in the cupboard for several months now, yet my life is still as crap as ever.

As i predicted, that one didnt't last long at all. I should set myself up as a sort of mystic Meg.

He'll probably up his claim now to cover the related trauma that has rendered him irredeemably stupid.
