    .........The Twilight Zone[^] Yesterday morning I was just starting to read the article on Dark Patterns[^] linked to in The Insider when........ Pffft. Me internet went, disappeared, was deceased, was no more. It didn't even cling to it's perch. I made a coffee, I went shopping, I made another coffee - still no interwebs.:~ I phoned that nice Mr. Branson and this morning he sent a chap round who changed a couple of bits and then went and performed some strange and mysterious rituals over the street cabinet and lo! I am now on-line again. Being without was horrible. The smokers amongst you will know the feeling you get when you realise that you have run out of ciggies and have no way to get any more for several hours; it was just like that.

    Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.

      It's not a good feeling, is it? Fortunately, should this ever occur again, it is a simple matter to take your laptop and park in any residential street. The number of unsecured internet connections out there is unbelievable! :omg:

          My home dsl box stopped breathing on may 2nd. Support said they could not send someone before the ... 18th. The guy came and said the box needs to be replaced ( why they send some techie to check your material and line without even a replacement box in his car is above my understanding ). Four days later, the new box arrived - that way yesterday. I was left 20 days without the internet at home :( Their conditions state they would solve any problem in max N+3 days -> I believe there is going to be a big refund.
