"A FART ON THOMAS PUTNAM!"

Soz about being a bit quiet, but internet access has been very poor because the local junction box has been crappy since the World Cup started, cutting off the mo' the games start.

I'd been passed from pillar to post along with everyone else in the street over this for nearly a month, but a guy called Dave from the Swansea office (whom I assume I got through to because the Manila and Mumbai customer service call centres were overloaded) took one of my many complaint calls by chance, read what had been going on & did his nut. He promised he'd kick some ass & would phone me to confirm matters were in hand come his next shift - which he duly did, at 8am!

Yesterday they had the senior techie outside & two punters pulling up all the cables to replace them. I got talking to Mr Techie & he said some Motorola part had to be replaced as it was 20 years old & failing (it looked pretty new for a 20 year old part I thought) & this would have been sorted months ago had people done their jobs properly in the first place as there had been 57 visits to the box since the year started.
