Comments on: A Slight Degradation in Service http://www.headrambles.com/2007/11/26/a-slight-degradation-in-service/ Rambles around the head of an Irish Grandad Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:32:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Ian http://www.headrambles.com/2007/11/26/a-slight-degradation-in-service/#comment-25914 Ian Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:41:56 +0000 http://www.headrambles.com/2007/11/26/a-slight-degradation-in-service/#comment-25914 Grandad, I was stuck here waiting to go off to a function with a prominent cleric and a government minister in attendance, neither of whom I had the slightest wish to talk to. The prospect of you breaking windows was much more interesting! Grandad,

I'd rather not go into <em>how</em> I got it though! SID - We are, indeed sad lonely people... Ian - You are even sadder. You were waiting for me to post? The defenestration would have occurred without warning. And it wouldn't have been slight. Brianf - You shut up. Anyone can lay a bit of nylon fishing line around a room and call it fiber. And you gave a house full of guns. Of course they are going to keep <em>you</em> happy. Robert - I would like to try that, but they filch it straight out of my bank account. But don't worry - I filch it straight back again. This laptop may be a bitch, but it's great at hacking. ;) Susan - Yes, I have broadband. I’d rather not go into how I got it though!

Our telephone company (you know who it is) responded to my complaint about frequent outages by blaming it on my phone. They MADE my phone...oh, clever. Sell folks a crap phone so when they complain about poor line quality, charge them a call-out service, then sell them ANOTHER phone. No thanks! I agree with you Grandad...many providers. And I change mine when I can, to use their 'welcome-back' offers before they nail me again. What a world. Broadband….You have BROADBAND?
