a few people at work have given me a look that said exactly that!
it's a party in a nightclub where the first hour or so is a swing dancing lesson. then it's just boozing and clubbing after that.

we have to go in 1920's or 30's gear. hey, maybe i should borrow monty's nazi uniform!?

I'm coming to the party and wearing it myself, sorry.

do you know how much i wish this statement were true?
that would be glorious!

I wish I was too
Shouting at a router and then an Indian child in a desperate attempt to have television and internet in my home isn't my idea of a fun night AT ALL.

But you love shouting at Indian children

I still haven't forgiven the bounders for the 1857 mutiny.

Have you turned it off and on again?

It's when you realise that you are telling them your name,
date of birth and phone number for the 8th time in one call that you begin to lose your mind. It's like being interrogated in Guantanamo Bay. Except they probably have working TV and internet there.

i have been reduced to tears of pure rage by the virgin call centre staff, it was like boiling water pouring out of me eyes.

Really?
I've only had to call them once and whilst 'Sue' had quite an accent, she fixed the problem I had within about five minutes.

my problem turned out to be with the control junction down the road
it took them about 4 months to fix this, which included 2 appointments where i waited in ALL SATURDAY and they never showed. when the bastard engineer finally did turn up, then looked at my box and said there was nothing he could do, i nearly locked the door and took him hostage.

Privatisation of the telephone network was a wonderful thing
for which you ought to be grateful

It's wonderful to have a choice of miserable, incompetent fuckwits to choose from
instead of just one, I agree. At least you can threaten to move your business to someone equally as fucktarted but slightly cheaper.

It makes no difference
if the problem is with the infrastructure, which it usually is. Only one company is allowed to fiddle with the actual wires, and they are beholden to nobody and can therefore act like massive cunts, which they frequently do.

Ouch
I think violence would have been justifiable in that instance - christ, I hope I never have a problem with them now!

you should see the letter i wrote to their CEO at his home address
it worked though. i got it fixed within hours of him receiving it!

That sounds like a splendid idea.
My Dad went to a World War Two themed 'officers and soldiers' party once. So he wore some rags and shaved his head.

i was idly toying with the idea of some kind of bombed out joke
but i don't actually know the girl whose party it is, i am going along with friends, so i had better play it safe. also i pay my hairdresser FAR too much for me to shave it all off now!

Go wearing pyjamas with your phone number written on your arm.

Imagine the disappointment when they discovered it was n't like a "pass out stamp" that you get at some theme parks/visitor attractions
