**************************
I am back in the world of the internet ... but only just. Old Boy PC has a new plug in thing which is supposed to be 10x quicker than then the old broadband plug in thing..... I am yet to be convinced!!! Lappytop hooks up to the wireless router but the wireless router is not recognised by the new plug in thing.
I have spent an entirely frustrating day crawling behind the tele and under my computer table whilst on the phone to a call centre somewhere in Asia (one call was 2 hours) .... it is so bloody annoying ... I AM NOT AN INTERNET INSTALLER IAM A FREE WOMAN..... (deep breaths and think kind thoughts!!)

This is a kinda fun website forwarded by my cuz CKX..... Obamicon.me

& happy St.Valentines Day too x

Afghans are so 80's ..... oh, that's OK then ..... it all fits!

What was the weather like in India? did you ask? The TG got onto first name terms with quite a lot of people when she was sorting our internet out and almost onto swapping recipes .....

no I should have asked about the weather being British and all I was too wound up though after unplugging.. running into the next room...plugging then back to look at green lights !
I have a selection of 7 names to take off my Christmas card list just from today... I asked that they speak slowly and clearly when quoting tecky speak (they get frustrated with that) ... so revenge was due, when asked for my account number I read it in uber fast posh English ... it took one of the receivers 5 attempts to get it right... touche!!! [a small victory I know!]

NM ~ Happy St. Val's day to you friend .. missed you too. I managed to sneak a look at some blogs whilst at work but decided not to visit Gimcrack as I would have been Firewalled and hauled before Big Brother

Fraccy hugs for you 70s.. next time your internet gives you this much trouble, we should set up the cauldron. Just make sure to get their names, and ask if they'd mind sending you a hair or two. LOL.

{{Any ideas who sent DP those yellow carnations?}}

Does your telephone 'crackle'? - could be a hard wiring problem in the network which was the problem we had. It only took about 6 weeks to sort out!

DP ~ I get interference on the TV and on the phone .... I just can't bear he thought of the rubbish phone calls and them telling me it is my TV and my phone ... I think I may burst a blood vessel ... I think good old pen to papyrus is the answer to Sir Dickie
