Hooray freedom at last...

I got out to do some shopping and as I went past "Maccy D`s" I saw around a dozen young adults pissed as farts....

I guessed right about the Internet cafe up the road....

Would you believe it??? I have just got back from Sainsburys to get some provisions....

I am puzzled.....

I havn`t got a lot to report this time around as I have virtually been under house arrest....by the Decorators.
Between the Windows ...3 undercoats and a topcoat...the door...two undercoats and one topcoat and then just as you think it is safe to go out, they decide to paint the step ....Twice... and the door needed to be open so that the step dosn`t stick to the bottom of the door, as a result I havn`t been out much to see whats going on.
So I read an E book called Terminal Compromise...well worth the read.

---------------------------------

The one thing I did notice was that the Internet cafe in my High street has closed, suposedly for a week as they are having a dispute with BT.
Hmmm, maybe running an Internet cafe with 20 plus boxes plus half a dozen phone booths, is not normal business usage :-p

-------------------------------

The "Maccy D" in the high Street is using a different supplier rather than Easy everything as is used in most of the other "Maccy D's", they are using "dve.net" and as usual, no access to the boxes or cables and the keyboard has a few keys missing .

Well thats about it for now.

Walking down the High st 3.30 a,m I see I am being followed by a group of people who are generally acting hostile......

Whilst in the shop, the guy who runs the shop asks if I have seen the new phone without a sim card ???

The Bt plug point in the cab boxes need you to dial...yes...the magical number "9" for a line out...
