Shoot the fucking dogs. Times are hard and one cannot be feeding lazy attack dogs. Shoot the hairy fuckers and feed them to the pigs. Contrary to posh boy Guy Richies bollocks in his film Snatch, pigs will eat alsatians, their fur, their long tails and their puckered little arseholes. No problem.

I really do not have a clue who is responsible for our Broadband and our phones. I would imagine it is the family accountant. Or possibly the housekeeper. Dunno. I noticed one of the under-keepers had one of those iPad things. Maybe it is him?

Plusnet are actually BT if you did not know. Only know this as my mate is high up in BT so I think I may change as my bills are not that cheaper under Talk Talk

These chancers come round the doors every six months or so with some shite about how the local exchange has been taken over by them and if you transfer everything will be free and at hyper speed etc.

As soon as I've twigged that the young twat with the stupid haircut is from TalkTalk they get the bum's rush (I don't buy on my doorstep anyway), which is usually countered with the really shit/guaranteed to get your back up doorstep marketer line "how much are you paying now and do you like paying more for your phone line?" to which I cheerily reply "yes, goodbye".

Cunts. Avoid.

Used to have Talk Talk (aka Tiscali) broadband. Bunch of utter toss, tech support in some flip flop country or another. can't understand them and they don't know what they're doing anyway. Kicked them well into touch a couple of years ago. Been with Orange ever since. Same shit tech support, but goes wrong a fraction as often. Better more consistent D/L speeds, alleged unlimited d/l's with fair use policy, which must be quite generous as I've not managed to get it to kick in yet. I'm pretty convinced all bb providers are shite, but Orange do seem less bad tbf.

Virgin have always been reliably spot-on for me over ten years (admittedly Telewest originally) and four houses.

Always appear when they say they will, the Geordies on the phone are helpful and even when you get punted randomly to India for broadband problems, they're not too bad.

Yep. In my experience Virgin Media Broadband is pretty good. TV's a rip off though. We only use about half a dozen of the available channels and the rest are pointless drivel. TV's going soon anyway, as the Freeview is equally as good/shit for the amount of TV we actually watch. With what we save when we've binned the TV bit we can probably buy boxed sets of New tricks/Waking the Dead/Silent Witness, which is all the missus seems to watch anyway.

Best and most underrated band of the 80's. Bar none.

Mark Hollis. Musical genius.
