- Flying to London - €48
- Having your German mobile phone search the internet for about five hours on an “International Roaming” rate - I dread to think.
- Not being able to upload anything to your own site - annoying.
- Discovering it was because the contract on my server ran out on Feb 14th - not really priceless, the call to the ISP helpline in Arizona cost about 10 cents, but I can at least inflict my garbled mutterings on the world once more.
I had an Intrnet problem like that once. I was so upset, I didn’t sleep. Some days later I found out that the company, in their great kindness, didn’t charge me! Yippee!!
just when you thought it was safe to be back on the internet…..
Thought you’d died or something
Devonboy - I didn’t bump into you at Xmas in the High Street
Maribeth: My ISP were wonderful and with being stuck in London for a week with no internet connection followed by a week of catching up all the work I’d missed I didn’t actively put too much effort into sorting the blog thingie out.
Haddock: If you’d bumped into Devon Boy you would surely have rebounded into a clotted cream tea shop. I’m not saying he’s big-boned, in fact, I’d better be careful what I say as he’s coming to visit next month.
I wonder how many people get that little piece of American culture…or has it gone international?
820: Does the UK count as international, or merely 51st-state-ism?
Clotted cream! In this town? At this time of year? It would more likely be a hair salon or an estate agents, or if
……I was feeling social, The bunch.
And I’ll have you know I’ve lost four stone……I’m down to seventeen now!!
Anyhoo: I have always thought of the UK as a sovereign nation, it’s Canada that always jolts me when they ask for my passport.
Devonboy, for the sake of the Americans, 17 stone is 238 pounds, isn’t it? And for our European friends, 108kg…
820: They give you “hot fresh” Krispy Kreme donuts for free in Harrods. That has to count as having been taken over by either American Cultural Imperialism or yummy, NC-based fat and carbohydrate products. Thank god we still spell “colour” correctly.
Devonboy - I was in the bunch over Xmas, I might’ve spilt your pint
Hot now. Not hot fresh.
It is all part of our plan to lull you into happiness while we take over world. Don’t mind us, here have a doughnut. BTW: you misspelled color.
actual-Honestly! You make excessive weight sound like a bad thing, I used to have a landing weight of 250kg, and I was proud of it. Down to just undr 17stone now, though. *sigh* I’m wasting away.
Haddock-That’s Ok, I might have drank yours, I tend to lose my drink quite often, as I’m generally bladdered when I’m in there. I can usually find one that looks like it though. Hmm, Amber, in a pint…. yep, that must be it.
I’m not Anonymous, I’m Devonboy!
That’s precisely why I have the internet feature of my mobile deactivated.
