  • BT Suck.

    I have got a phone line in my house, but its never been activated. So me and dave have deided that our office has run its course, and that we will be better off working from home. So, i have decided to get the phone lines activated, and internet installed in my house.

    I first tried to ring BT and arrange for this to happen, last week. I was on the phone twice, both times in a queue, and neither times could i get through. Dave managed to get through by dialing 150 from our BT line in the office, and passed the phone to me.

    At the time, their systems were down, so he took my details and told me that id be contacted once the order had been put through, and that he’d sort it. I tried to call back earlyer on today, and was on hold for 30 minutes, i got cut off. I rang again, in queues for 45 minues, and got cut off.

    Now by this stage my blood had reached boiling point, and the urge to smash ones phone was growing stronger, and stronger. I dialled the number again, and spoke to some clown who told me he would sit on hold with me until i spoke to someone. And sure enough, he did, and after another 30 minutes of queueing, spoke to someone who could help me.

    He told me that someone had been booked to visit my house on the 27th, between 1 and  6 when was i going to be told this? Was this going to beamed to my brain by some kind of subsonic radar gun?

    And to top it all off, i had just been transferred to some other department, to discuss the costs involved with setting up a landline, and after another 50 mins of being on hold, i hung up.

    So roughly 300 minutes on the phone, and all i know is that “someone” is coming to my house between 1 and 6 on the 27th. I dont no what they are coming for, i dont no who they are, and i still do not know how much this is going to cost me.

    What i do know, is that BT are a fucking bunch of pricks and should not be allowed to own so much of this countries telephone infrastructure.

    For anyone bothered, here is a alternative number to 0800 800 150 – 0207 555 0037

    As calls to 0800 numbers from mobiles are not free.

    in conclusion, on the 27th, when someone visits my house to do something, im going to tell them to switch the line on, and then fuck off. Im not paying them a cent, they can give ME money as i have probably been charged a shit load from when i didnt have the alternative number for BT.

  • Madeleine – Tests cannot prove she died

    I stumbled upon this bit of text in a recnet news article on FOX news.

    “Portuguese police suspect that the couple, from Leicestershire, may have accidentally killed their daughter and hidden her body. But tests on samples taken from the holiday flat where she disappeared and the couple’s hire car have failed to prove she is dead.”

    So all those allegations, and they cant even prove if the little girl is in fact dead or alive. From what i read, it doesn’t appear that they know very much about this case at all.

    I really feel sorry for this little girl. If she is still alive, then she’ll probably be missing her cat teddy bear thing, and maybe her mum and dad and sisters. If she’s dead then its the result of a unnecessarily over-the-top advertising campaign, and extremely poor police work. Either way, its absolutely no fault of her own. Poor girl.

    In more olstar related news, i have bee walking like, a 1/4 of the way to work in the mornings. Its helping me wake up properly, and its giving me a little bit of excercise each day too, as i do NONE at all.

    On my travels i walk through 3 or 4 subways (not the shop that sells expensive sarnies, the underpass things) and it brought back many a memory from when me and my mate timmyroob were wannabe graffiti artists. I was never any good, tim was better than me. But we used to paint down in certain subways in mansfield, away from the prying eyes of the public. Its mad buzz running down somewhere, one of us watching out, and the other taggin the wall with some mad colours and shapes.

    Subway in mansfield

    Ok, so this example of a tagged subway looks messy, but when graffiti is “tidy” and well painted, it looks amazing. the tag on the left is quite good, and there are a few other good ones in this subway, but generally round here the artists are pretty lame.

    When we were in bratislava, there was LOADS of taggin, but not that much actual good graffiti. It was mostly in a foregn language so i didnt understand it.

    I wish that i could actually draw, and had even just a ounce of talent in the hand drawing area, as id still be graffiti’ing to this day.

    On a completley unrelated note, i have just seen that  according to some bones that have been found, the Hobbit, was actually a real thing!

    Hahaha, hobbits. thats awesome. I wonder if they didnt wear shoes,had big ears, and liked to get pissed and smoke weed a lot? haha

  • Quote from gravel pit

    “Yakub, maker and creator of the devil. swine merchant, your time is near at hand, fuck with me and your time will be now. Your presence here effects the mind of my people like a fever. You, Yakub, are the bearer of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine diseases, evil, corrupt, porkchop-eatin’ brain! “

    Yes, i am aware Yakub was (according to the nation if islam) the creator of the “White race”.

    I just think its cool, and sounds good on the end of the gravel pit track by the wu tang clan 🙂

  • The media will destroy the world

    Yep, that’s right. The media (i.e. newspapers, news on TV) will cause the total destruction of the world by about 2045.

    I was watching the TV the other day, and i saw that “Northern Rock” – a large bank organisation had to borrow money from the Bank of England, so that their customers didn’t experience any problems getting their money out. The reason for this is the way the bank works, they borrow money from people to give to their customers at a fixed LOW rate. They then lend that money to their customers at a higher rate, therefore making money.

    Now, the people that the bank borrow money off have put their rates up, and that meant that Northern Rock could of been in a “lack of cash£” situation so temporarily borrowed some cash from the bank of england whilst they upped their interest rates and started over-charging existing customers to make a bit more cash for them.

    But, thanks to the media, everyone has gone into panic mode, and has withdrawn their cash from their savings with Northern Rock. If everyone does this, then the large organisation that is Northern Rock, and all its employees, will be out on the street! And its not even their fault!

    And again, with the Madeleine mccann case, there has been so much speculation, allegations, and blame being thrown about, that people have forgotten that there is a little girl out there that could still be alive, or could be buried somewhere horrible, and not near her home and family so that they can pay respects to her (if she is indeed dead).

    And the people to blame about this, is the media! They hype stuff up, and make a mountain out of a molehill JUST to sell papers, they don’t give a fuck about the fact Madeleine is missing, they just want a more attention-grabbing title than their competitors, so that they can be number 1 in the ratings!

    The fast paced news reporting media that we have in this day and age is to blame for SO much..

    Will it ever go away?
