I used to love people using USB dongles for their internet when I was selling Sky TV. They were paying £30 for their 2mb speed internet with shitty Freeview for their TV and no phone line for their calls, while I could get them up to 20mb internet, Sky, free evening and weekend calls, and line rental, with the phone line installed (normally £124.50 through BT) for free, all for £29 a month.

I miss those days. Charities has not been as good as I was hoping, but I'm not going to give up that easily.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

AFAIK regular wireless broadband is on a plan, and I hate plans. I guess I'm paying for my freedom. :killingme:

Yeah, paying out your ass for it. My contract was 6 months, and that's been over for a while now, so I'm not bound to anything, and can select whichever services I want. Still with fucking Telstra for the phone though...*grumble*stupid2yearcontracts*grumble*

No no, of course you're right everything costs something, especially something like the internet which is growing in demand all the time.

But just like everything else in this wonderful socialist monarchy that I live in there should be government guarantees that everyone can get to the internet and that the internet you get should be of a considerable quality at a fair price. 25-50 mb/s internet connections should be a standard not something to dream about at an absurd cost.

In my opinion, the internet should be like our roads. We pay for our roads through our taxes and I think the same should apply to the internet. Being poor should not exclude you from having access to greatest source of information and education in the known universe.

I don't really want the government to regulate my internet if it's all the same to you, the roads service and water dept have more than enough ineptitude to satisfy the countries need. If the government stepped in somehow it would end up costing more for a less reliable service, and we would have yet another bunch of lazy bastards standing leaning on shovels at the side of the road, not to mention a fault on your line would take 4 letters to the council and 6 months to fix.


in other news, I'm heading to the gym then to watch the everton game, this is messing with my groove because I can't see Mr. Henry's acquisition having much of an effect onth e pitch. I do hope I'm wrong

Bunch of shitty sixteen-to-eighteen year olds who regularly hang out across the street from my appartment have found a new sport: trying to break my balcony window by throwing half filled plastic bottles against it.

So far, I'm lucky and nothing has been broken.

Throw them right back.

Or better yet, nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure call the cops on 'em. That'd be funny.

I did. Problem is, the shitheads can't be fined unless the police is certain they did it. They'll deny, and there is no proof, so, all the cops can do is tell them they are warned, blahblahblah, and they'll know I called the cops. Which means they'll try to break the window next time. In which case, there is still nothing I can do, but it is vandalism and that will be far more serious.

Instead, I merely report it, and hope that enough complaints from fellow neighbours arrive to compile a decent file of small issues which will show there is a problem to the local politicians, leading to a rule regarding the neighbourhood the police can enforce.

We had one last year regarding this group so there is precedent.

Moreover, I don't want any particular attention from their side into making my life hell, as I'll put a big for sale sign on my appartment somewhere in the next few weeks, and any further issues may be noted by wannabe-buyers, driving the price down or making it entirely unwanted.

What you want to do is buy a pneumatic airgun that can shoot lead pellets. They wont kill them... unless you coat them in poison.

Step 1: Build window-frame slingshot, (I prefer medical tubing for my elastic).
Step 2: Get piss-bottles
Step 3: Win battle.

Ill. One of the three people in my team has to be in today, and the other two are abroad so I have to drag myself in and sit pussing and sneezing 'til 6pm. I'm hoping I can grovel sufficiently to my uberboss to leave at lunchtime, but I dont hold out much hope as he's not back from Germany til later....

Freeze pissbottle. Chip out pee stalactites. Attach to rod. Fire piss arrows at enemies. Wait for the ensuing confusion during the autopsies.

Anyway: I have been told by a friend that somebody in my drama class who I liked quite well has been calling me a loser and lame behind my back. These things just give me the shits.

I drank myself stupid. That was the goal. I succeeded.

My throat feels awful. I'm too fucking old for this shit.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
