Internet Junkies ! - Mon 8/12

That was the week that was ! Started well enough with a quiz win on Sunday, then a day off on the Monday. 

However, about lunchtime on Monday, our broadband suddenly stopped working. Non functioning broadband was the defining feature of the week until Thursday when a BT engineer called. He fitted a new socket but reckoned that we would need a broadband engineer to fix things. However within 20 minutes it was all working again - hmmmm... Orange customer service didn't cover itself with glory in the course of the problems - didn't get a clear consistent story from any of the customer service types I spoke to.

I don't think any of us realised quite what internet junkies we were until we went cold turkey for a few days - to the point I'm investing in a backup plan. 

Since then I've got the guitar practice back up and running, and am seeing some improvements already which is more than a little gratifying. Still a looooong way to go though, but any improvement is welcome at the moment. 

We got thumped at the quiz on Sunday - this week's big gamble on the Wipeout round didn't pay off this week ! Ho hum. And we'll just draw a thin veil over the Accies performance at the Death Star and Celtic's Hibee humping, shall we... ?
