sucks!
how are you my lovelies?
according to /talk, i am actually a 13 year old boy who is obsessed with poo. this made me laugh a lot, even if it was intended to be cuntish. however, i just thought i'd better put a legal caveat in place, by stating categorically and unequivocally that my use of the word "lovelies" was in no way an attempt to make you fancy me or think that i want you to pander to me....

summery thing usually in neon or pastel colours. worn as a cool dress or a cover up by fatter or non exhibitionist or pale people on the beach.

*gropes*
Hi all, I'm supremely fucking pissed off with having to be on the phone to BT for an hour and a fucking half to sort out my first ever bill because of their fuckups. I even chatted to a lady in India for half an hour before it became apparent that what she was downloading onto my computer was not infact the stuff I wanted and was stuff I could get off google. Only this stuff does not work on Vista so she couldn't even do it.
My BT mobile that works on the internet - the shiny blackberry wannabe from the tv ads has a battery power of 6 hours when left alone, no calls, no texts nothing. 6 hours. BT think this is acceptable. I do not. I explain very politely that this is not fucking acceptable to me in the slightest and they are now sending me a new battery free of charge.
Now if I could just get their damn hold music out of my head I'll be a happy Becky again.

I've had all this since April and they've only just billed me for it. I do like the service I get from my broadband and the internet mobile thingy as I get a free landline phone to use as well, it's just dealing with issues when they arise that I hate as I have to call so many fucking numbers to speak to people who say speak to someone else. So when I get the right person I have to first clarify several times that they are indeed the right person to speak to and sound rude because I have to do so.
Grrr...
