I Blame Margaret Thatcher

Posted by admin On June - 7 - 2008

Yes,I am still here.  So where have all the postings been?  Ahh,loooong story.

Basically,my broadband is with Virgin Media and I’ve been getting problems for months.  I suggested that the modem might be responsible.  An engineer called [well,he told me he was an engineer]. Rather than plug in the new modem he had with him he arranged the earliest possible re-laying of cables -between 1-6pm,7th June.

Apparently that was “the earliest we can do,mate”.  That was on May 24th!!

8.55am,7th June -an engineer calls [4 hours early!]. The modem works but then stops -”it’s the modem” I said.  “I’ll call out our network boys to check the cable junctyion”.  Modem works again.  Stops.  Works again…fingers crossed.

And,yes,a couple weeks ago lightning struck the phone junction box some 50 feet away from me.  Why is someone trying to kill me with lightning?!

Anyhow,I’ll be going through allthe backlog to see what is still relevant.

Expect postings from Monday onward.

Thanks for sticking with CBO!

    I couldn’t agree more-about blaming Margaret Thatcher.For everything, really, including Tony Blair.

    Anyway, good to see the return of Mister Hooper onto CBO.

    and belated Birthday Wishes to you too by the way.I would’ve sent it earlier but I was too busy laughing my puppet head off at Team America World Police !

    Happy Birthday Mister H !
