If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

:lol: I think it would cheer us all up to hear how you filled 50mins of their time!
I can account for the last 15, during which there was a predominance of

"You are a hyena and a jackal"

"Err all I did was point out the inaccuracies of what you're telling me"

"You've deliberately wasted my time, I think you're imbalanced"

"Didn't you ring me? Anyhow, I pointed out in the first sentences that the machine I was looking at was connected to an IL5 network, maybe it didn't occur to you that this IL5 network has no external connections?"

"Why did you go through all my instructions, you hyena, laughing at me"

"Well you insisted I was wrong, you were most persuasive, I did point out, about 20 minutes in that I was an Enterprise Architect and didn't know half the things you were telling me, I wanted to learn"

"You are a bloody liar"

"I think I can see some cracks in your sales pitch here."

"You're not right in the head"

"Ohhh you've seen THAT report too, didn't know they sent those reports to the Windows IT Department, what diagnostics do you want me to follow, I'm sat near some electrodes if that would help?"

"You're wasting my fufking time."

"Well put the phone down then, it's on your tab - I thought I was the mad feck* around here?"


Yadda, yadda...

Indeedy doody. Doesn't everybody have a sales prevention officer? Sometimes they're plain lazy, some are just incompetent, but some go out of their way to actively put off customers and put as many obstacles to selling anything to outsiders as they humanly can.
That's not a leopard!

Ah, you see I spent my life in service not sales. Over here people always seem to anxious to sell me something - perhaps we need more SPOs.

Generally this criticism comes from folks who then go on to try and convince you that the margin will all right itself, when we land the multi-billion dollar pull-through on the back of it as part of the next stage of the campaign. :)

People are funny.

I drove past the Leigh Sports Village today. At the roundabout there was a sign reading ... and I quote. ... "Nearly New Baby Sale".

Slightly soiled maybe ??

Change-over from Sky to Virgin went smoothly this morning and everything set up nicely. Our time slot was 8-1 and the engineer was here at 8am on the dot. Now showing a 10 fold increase in broadband speed, which is nice but probably doesn't mean much in the great scheme of things.

Also treated myself to a custom domain and email address this morning and that also went without a hitch.

Did you get one of those fancy, glossy black hub broadband speed uprater, thingies with blue lighting? I applied for one and the speed's been great since.
