Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Peter Wolf]

Outside where i live in the street is a green junction box with all of the localised cable internet connections inside that is owned by Virgin Media who are my ISP.The box is wide open to the street with the removable panel that is meant to be locked just lying on the pavement leaving all of the internet connections vulnerable to vandalism etc.

I reported this to Virgin as its a hazard and an obstruction and in the meantime i taped it shut.So today there was a Virgin Tec guy working inside the box so i hoped that he would fix the lock as well which Virgin said they would do .

Today i get home and the box is still wide open with the removable panel lying across the pavement so now i have to go and tape it up again.

Fucking useless idiots.

I cant speak for the idiot that left the base unit unlocked but I come across BU's that are un-secure I make it a priority to secure to the best of my ability. We don't carry the necessary equpt to repair them so all we can do is report it to the proper department. All I suggest you do is report it again and tell them that an engineer was round and did nothing to re-secure it, I just hope it was someone from service as they are a bunch of wankers.
We are not all idiots Pete, just the odd few.

I see that happen quite a lot. Are all the green ones Virgin?

I went all the way into town today and only then realised my wallet was in another jacket. Arsebiscuits!

Yes i realise that as i was just sounding off but prior to that i have never had a bad word to say about Virgin and that includes two home visits from your department.

I had a faulty Modem and Virgin sent a Tech guy with a replacement the following morning after it failed.

Tripped upstairs at lunchtime and cracked my kneecap right on the sharp edge of the wooden stairs.  Blimey, it hurt.  Managed to hang on to my home made falafel in pittas with salsa and yummy minty yoghurt sauce though.

Nah BT have green ones as well, theirs are the scruffy ones that look 100 years old.

Brendan, my young fella, spilled by cup of tea over the keyboard, making it very hard to type with sticky keys!

A cheeky bugger offerred 30k under the asking price on my mum's house.  I want to punch the little git.

Yet again I accidentally pee'd on the end of my dressing gown cord this morning.

Keep forgetting to read Sagat's win quotes. TIGER TIGER TIGER TIGER TIGER.

How could I have forgotten all about free comic book day?!

Arse.

After 11 days off, I go back to work tomorrow. Leaving the missus with a four week old baby, and two other children.

No more staying up 'til midnight, drinking a beer, playing Fallout 3 and posting here. No more trying to do one page scripts.

Back to shuffling paper!

What kind of baby was this, exactly?  'Cos I've plainly been getting the wrong model.

I started choking on my glass of Robinsons and spat out my drink over the revision notes I spent over 2 hours writing.
