As some of you may know, the internet at my dad's house has been unreliable at best, and wholly unusable at worst. Our internet provider Zen say nothing is wrong, and until now so have BT.
Last week we finally got a BT engineer in. He opened up the main socket downstairs, said "Ah yes, I see what the problem is," before shuffling off to have tea and crumpets like all Brits do. He even charged us for this afterwards, £6.99 + VAT.
He then got the net working perfectly at the downstairs socket, but with the slight inconvinience that the phones stopped working, and the net couldn't be accessed anywhere else. BT considered the problem "fixed." Tell me BT - if I was to take a single car off the roads, would that instantly fix the problem of global warming?
Then yesterday we have a Mr Greenaway. Who rocks.
He apparently found three problems with our cabling, each more horrendous than the last.
Firstly, one of the cables was connected to something twice. Not too bad, but it might have messed up the signal a bit. No great disaster there.
Secondly, there was a telephone wire with a staple going right through it. Now that's pretty bad. I tried to find out who originally fitted our house but he seems to have fled the country.
Thirdly, and worst of all, two cables were frayed at the ends and simply stuck together with tape. I wonder if that could POSSIBLY be the problem?
Still, everything now appears to be working tip-top, spick-and-span, ship-shape and generally good.
On a random note, does anyone know why buttering toast is so damned loud?

I've just discovered you can have a little sub-title majigger beneath the big "Thoughts, Rants and Ideas" title. I'm now considering having a little random/amusing tagline which I change each day. A good idea?
Tomorrow : The top 10 FPS weapons ever. Suggestions welcome.

If you can use Javascript (or preferably PHP) on Blogger, you could have a set of taglines of which one is chosen at random every page view.
That would be quite good.
DONE!!!
(Through my javascripting powers.)
(And despite Blogger's refusal to allow scripts in the caption itself.)
Today is now Spurling day.
We're having some teasing troubles, and as such the ever-changing taglines are currently down.
Yes.
Not sure why.
Works in everything except IE and Opera.
"Then yesterday we have a Mr Greenaway. Who rocks."
Also, THE TAGLINES WORK!!1!!
