Alt: I was on the news in Ireland
when I DJed for a band at the Guiness Jazz Festival in Cork. This was primarily because we had a b-boy (breakdance to lay people) crew dancing for us, and were therefore the most television friendly act.

I'm in an offensively bad mood as I have now had neither television nor broadband at my house for eight days now, due to a 'network problem caused by a fire' (smells bovine to me, TalkTalk), and I have to spend this evening with my ex doing a photoshoot of old baby clothes for Ebay. And I don't feel very well.

You can and undoubtedly will stick your candle up your arse, DF, so enjoy it with my blessing.

I only got my Talktalk back last night but it was off this morning.

Damn, ebay photographing is uncompromisingly dull.
I've got a stack of sixty dvds and games waiting to be put up. I might actually get around to it today.

I'll take 'Neigh-bours Omnibus: Horse Porn 9' if Al hasn't already bought it off you.

I left TalkTalk because they are a gang of tramps' foreskins
Lying twats the lot of them

Have you chosen your new provider?
How many clothes you need to picture?

Not yet.
The problem is I am paying £15.99 a month for shitloads of cable channels, a phone line and perfectly adequate broadband (when it's working) - everyone else is way more, right?

There are probably 50+ complete outfits to photograph, but I am getting a free meal and brownie points (not a euphemism) for helping.

I'm not sure about that
I recently got my Virgin fee halved when I said that O2 was offering me better price and quality. I think you'll have to bargain. However, even if you pay a bit more, it'll be worth if they have a better service. I'm very happy with Virgin media and mobile.

50 is not too much. You should see some of my friends' wives, buying like mad cows and then having to sell almost straight away and without using the clothes, as the baby grows too quickly.

I confess I plucked that figure from the air.
It's several binbags full. I have plenty of experience of running photoshoots so I know how to get through it quickly - plus there will be no styling as such so it should be over reasonably soon.

Several binbags?
Did she get a different outfit everyday?

A friend of mine used to buy baby clothes from ebay at £1/kg. I'm sure you can get more than that, but with this method you'll be done in seconds.

In two and a bit years that's not that excessive, I think.
That's a good tip, selling by weight. I shall pass that on to Der Fuhrer.

Maybe, I've never had a baby
But baby clothes take vary little space.

I recommend you do, it's great.
Maybe you should buy some clothes just in case?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 9:04, Reply)

Hahaha
I'm hoping to have one (or more) once I get married. Not because I think it has to be done on a particular order, but I don't want to be all sick and fat in 3 months for my wedding.

I'll bet nobody in a position to fix this even KNOWS you have no service yet
They click a few buttons and tell you it's being passed on but it isn't.

I have heard nothing but shit about them.
I'm tied to BT for 17 more months but if I find a better deal with someone who doesn't relentlessly throttle torrent bandwidth I'll pay the get-out money and jump ship.

The only good thing about Talk Talk
Is that they refuse to hand over customer details to lawyers in relation to piracy charges.

Very sorry to hear of your provisioning woes. I suggest you find a provider with better taste than to associate themselves with The X Factor

why do you have to do the photoshoot thing?
since you don't have internets, give her a camera and tell her to do it her fucking self

Kitty have you considered advising the Israelis and Palestinians in their latest round of talks?

I already did
that's what got them in that mess in the first place.
