[Sheflug] GRRR BLUEYONDER GRR LANDLORD GRRR EBAY

["James Bruce" <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

am not in too happy. two main reasons.

blueyonder people came around today (at exactly the time they said, to
credit them that).... *but* when they tried to take a cable line off the
street they found some evil being from outer space / the government /
microsoft had filled in the hole that they needed with cement. simple, you
say, just dig it up.... ahhh yes, but the council says £1000 for
unauthorised diggin up-ness of pavements... so now we have to reschedule
while they get permission. FIRST GRRR

so instead, they figured they'd install the internal bit now, save a bit of
time later. cool, i thought. they drilled through and taked stuff onto
wherever, then left. perfect. next thing i know, my landlord comes running
upsatirs saying the powers been cut to the garage and he nearly blew himself
up tripping the thingies youre meant to trip. very pissed off landlord. so
now, im supposed to demand that they come round and fix it and hes banned
any more cable work until it's fixed. SECOND GRRR

thirdly, ive been bidding on this motherboard on Ebay to use in a smoothwall
server or whatever (save my lil p450 from doing the job).... nice
motherboard, 300mHz chip with it, plus 384mb of RAM,.... very sweeet.... i
had the highest bid iof £72 ten seconds  left in the auction.... *hits
refresh*.. *wonders whys taking longer than usual*
*discovers some b [at] strd has outbid me by two whole quid* *and the auction has
now ended*

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

sorry.

um, will be happier by next meeting. hopefully.
love y'all

James
