Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 5)

I'm about to go missing for a few days, the grand house move is commencing tomorrow. However due to the reason that BT for some reason needs five days to swap internet connections over, and possibly ten days to swap phones over I may be suffering from massive ET withdrawl

They have to pull one plug out of its hole and drive that end of the wire all the way to its new location.

You're lucky it only takes 10 days or so.

Good luck with the move, anyway.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Well I did lose a whole day after it took talking to three seperate BT people to get them to admit that they even had a line already to the new house. the fact that the old owners had phone and internet provided by BT appeared to be a complete mystery to them on my first two calls.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 1)

it still depends on when the removals men can deliver the furniture. if they cant do it this week, then its stuck to being a weekend due to my girlfriends work comittments, and even though there's a shortage of people moving at the moment, at least the next two weekends are booked solid. soat the moment i'm still solidly in the don't know category.
