Speed Test III

Test No. 3: Ah. I was rather hoping it would improve. Oh well – 1.2Mbps today. Still another 7 days to go until it stabilises, apparently.

It’s only Doctor Who …

… but for goodness’ sake. If they’d wanted to revive an old character then even Bonnie “Irritating” Langford would have been a better choice than the truly awful Catherine Tate.

Oh well. At least it lasted for three decent series before it got stupid.

Test No. 2: That’s decidedly better – 2.9Mbps compared to 0.9Mbps.

Hopefully it’ll be even higher tomorrow …

Hurrah for illiteracy!

Now there’s something I’ll wager you didn’t expect me to write but I have. So there.

My iPod has been getting rather full and given that I’ve still not unearthed the missing box of CDs I decided over the weekend that it was time to upgrade to an 80GB model.

iThink therefore iAm

I was fully expecting to have to take a trip to Bury St Edmunds to collect this because Apple insist that their packages are handed over only to the purchaser and cannot, for example, be left with a trusted neighbour. They even go so far as to print “No Delivery To Neighbour” on the packaging.

iPod therefore iBoogie

Fortunately for me, not all of their delivery drivers can read, Hurrah for that.

Now I really must find that box of music …

Test No. 1: Rubbish.

If it’s not at least ten times faster by the end of next week, there’ll be words …

Six months on

Six months with that dating website, then.

My oh my, wasn’t that money well spent? One truly bizarre meeting with a very strange Bulgarian, email correspondence with two or three others and a failure by the website in question to honour its “another free six months’ membership if you don’t find that special someone in the first six months’ membership” guarantee.

I’m mulling over whether its worth taking them to court for misrepresenting their “guarantee” but to tell you truth I don’t think I can be arsed.
