Urgh, it's Monday lunchtime and I'm sitting at my works internet cafe coz I have no internet access at home. I moved in last Tuesday, plugged in my computer having been told my broadband would've been activated and, sure enough, it wasn't. I have made 4 calls to BT asking them WTF!? and each time they go through the same thing:
Q. Is computer plugged in? A. yes
Q. Is it turned on? A. Duh
Q. Have you plugged the internet cable in? er, yeah!
Q. Have you tried to connect? A. YES!
"Ok, well I'm afraid that's all I'm trained to do, I will pass you through to the Broadband Support Group now."
And they aren't very helpful either.
On Friday the guy said he'd phone me at 8pm after they'd done a line scan. And, of course, he didn't. And the line's only open Monday-Friday 8-8. Bloody twits.
They delivered my fridge and washing machine but the wm is still sitting in my kitchen unwrapped coz the back counter is to small to fit it and it's the only slot in the kitchen which has plumbing. So I phone my parents who tell me to find someone who could possibly remove the back counter, which I do -in fact he's a an old friend of my grandma and is willing to do it for free. My grandma informs my mum this morning and I received an email at work now saying to cancel the appointment with this guy and I now need to wait til they come over - which is at the end of June! I need a washing machine and the nearest laundrette is a 20 minute bus ride away! This is ridiculous!
Btw, if you really want my address, let me know and I will deliver.
And I am extremely angry with the Premier League. Spurs maintained 4th place for 6 months - 4th place is the last qualifying place for the Champions League which is the highest honour in European football. (I sense a number of people deserting this now). Anyway, Arsenal were in 5th, 6th and 7th places over this time period and yesterday were 1 point behind Spurs. All Spurs needed to do was beat West Ham yesterday afternoon and they stood to get £10 million next season in the CL, provided Arsenal lose the Final in Paris in 2 weeks -winner gets automatic qualification regardless of finishing position. Saturday night Spurs players book into Marriott near West Ham and a number of players eat the lasagne. And at 3am, the manager is awoken by the team doctor to say that 8 of his players have food poisoning.
Spurs try to get the Premier League to postpone the match by a day to allow his players to recover. They refuse. So Spurs play against a fully fit West Ham side with 8 players constantly being given large doses of anti-diarrhoea drugs. The point of the playing a game is that it is supposed to be a fair fight and if there is an obvious disadvantage, like this, then you need to reconsider the options. What harm would it have done to postpone the match by 24 hours so that it was a fair fight!? Spurs could've beaten West Ham and if they had they would be £10 million richer, which can make a big difference in football. So now Spurs are looking to sue the Premier League and the Marriott Hotel Group to recoup some of that lost funds. If anything, Spurs deserve it. I hope Barca slaughter Arsenal in two weeks. The gits at the PL should not have let them play yesterday, I'd like to see the fat cats who made that decision try and play 90 minutes of top notch football with food poisoning.
Anyway, I better get back to work before all the anger and frustration I'm feeling at the moment boils over - I've already sent a long email telling my mum she's being ridiculous to make me cancel the appointment about the wm. It's easy for her, she has a washing machine. And time on her hands that she could hand wash everything if she really wanted to. For a laundrette or using my neighbours I could only do it on Saturday coz I don't have the flipping time! Yeah, I feel a pain in my head.
