Pick up the phone

Dear Qtel, thank you for providing such a lousy ADSL service for the last 24 hours. I am so impressed by all your recent awards and advertising. May I make a suggestion?

Would it not be an absolutely spiffingly good idea to answer the phone when someone calls 111. Stop making silly statements of how I should sign up for your wonderful internet ADSL service and boring the teeth off me with your inane muzak. 4 hours. 4 s*dding hours. I could have flown to Dubai and back and you still would not have answered the phone. I now have to buy another cordless phone as mine is in pieces after throwing itself at the wall.

Thank you.

P.S.

When your male operatives do finally answer the phone, please ask them not to refer to male customers as 'Dear'. Where I come from you will either get your tackle felched or your nose blooded.

Not going to buy a replacement. I keep forgetting where I put it and being a bit mutton jeff, when it goes off I am never sure where it is. It does have a red light on the end of the antenna that lights up when there is an incoming call. Trouble is I have to switch off all the lights in the house to be able to see it flashing. I always found it eventually after stumbling around in the dark and stubbing a few toes. That's when the problem starts. You know when you answer the phone and say "Hello"..... Long pause and some unknown says "Hello"..... So you take a deep breath and let out a sigh and say "Hello"..... Another long pause and presumably the same unknown says "Hello"..... This is a jolly good game and could go on for hours but by this time I have reverted back to childhood and my toys go flying out of my pram. "Expletives well and truly deleted" That is when cordless phones turn into lemmings and throw themselves against the wall like some CGI thingy in a Harry Potter film. So gonna get one of those old fashioned type of phones that have a mouth piece and an ear piece and are nailed to the wall already.

Merry Christmas. Bah Humbug......

Seriously the connection is up and down like a bride's nightie. Is there any known problems with Qtel internet at the moment. Surely I am not the "Chosen One" to be picked on during the month of December.

One thing in their favour the router that Qtel sell is the canine's scr*tum. Better than Linsys and Beliken put together and much much cheaper 75% cheaper at least.

Second thoughts. Maybe that is the problem. What do ya all think?

Like anything bought in the Gulf region "stuff" just doesn't last out here. Everything has a tendency to self destruct, normally one day after the warranty has expired. And as for light bulbs..... Just don't go there. They have the lifespan of a proton. Water pumps..... Ha every time it rains mine shorts out. It's a water pump. Supposed to be waterproof. I may have fixed the problem. Good ole WD 40. (So much better than the previous 39 WD's). Used a full tin and sprayed everything that I could see on the roof. I can go skating up there now. Much cheaper than in Villaggio.

Ha ah. Villaggio. Parking. Thursday night. Nightmare. Parked on the grass verge (Artificial grass) once and got a ticket. Ok I can understand a "Do not park on the grass" sign but there was nothing to say "Do not park on the plastic" It was the wife's car so I won't tell her until she is at immigration wanting to go home for a vacation. That will serve her right for burning my dinner. Cop for the fine darling "Titter titter tee hee" (Soppy Walter, Beano Summer Edition 1964).

But I digress, err yes, T'internet.......Is it deal or no deal?
