Broadband
Last Monday was The Big Day for broadband to finally reach us... but it didn't. I spent most of Monday swearing at dodgy phone lines, cheap modems, Microsoft, drivers which don't work, upgrades which break everything, and talking dogs in adverts.
A BT engineer was called out Thursday, who remarked at what a great line I have, and how broken the modem is. Oh well, at least I hadn't paid for it yet. Sitting above me now is a brand-new all-singing all-dancing wifi ADSL router, which should allow surfing whilst on the toilet. Oh this will be fun...
