Return of the Mack
Oh, aye, nearly forgot to mention this. I'm getting broadband again on Tuesday or so, depends on the reliability of not only BT (that's bad enough), but also the Post Office (uh-oh). Nah, it'll be reet ahm sure.
As ah were sayin, ahm waitin on the Post Office to deliver ma brand spankin new used second-hand DG814 (that's the Netgear rooter I luv so much) which I won on eBay in a fantastically amazing, quite froody and hoopy even, auction. It was on all week wit no bids ye see, and then 8 hours before t'end ah bidded, max of 17 quid, it were on at 12 quid ye see, so that were ma fust bid. I watched an watched fer like ages, an two minutes before the end, there was my expected second bidder bidding away like a crazy man high on an assortment of drugs. 3 seperate bid in fact he did, a bid of 13 quid, outbid automagically by me, tryed again 14 quid, outbid d00d! 16 quid, outbid d00d! Ah panicked like, as ye do, so attempted to up ma max bid to 22 quid (which were ma max), but i was too late. Returned to page where item were and ahd won! 17 quid, just like that, i leaped in the air and hi-fived Abdullah, big fucking grin like.
paid fer it straight away like, 24 quid inc delivery, dunno if it's bin despatched yet, but it shouldna take too long eh? That were on Friday night at around 11pm, so the seller could have theoretically sent it already, we'll see I spose on Mundi.
And the activation was said by me new ISP, freedom2surf, to be on Tewsday. The ISP sound so cool dunnit? Well as Jack Dee says, "It's not. You're not surfing, you're sitting in your bedroom typing."
As he also says, "I must have missed the episode of Tomorrows World when they told us that 'By the year 2002, we'll all be sitting in front of our computers wanking like safari-park chimps. Goodnight!'"

foo, sweat off.
thought I wuz on the end of a bad eBayer for the last few hours, but after discovering that the seller had used an unregistered email address for his paypal payment, I sent him a message to point out this issue. Within five minutes he replied, in somewhat difficult to comprehend txt speek, that I would need to resend the payment to a different account. This i did immediately after receiving his message, and another five minutes later I refresh My eBay and the little Payment Received icon has appeared next to the item at last. Praise be!
I doubt I'll receive my goods by Tewsdi now, but at least I got a response and the transaction is at last moving again.

May I recommend Buyertools for your ebaying pleasure, which will automatically wait until a few seconds before the end of the auction and then bid for you. Saves a lot of hassle. Nobody gets a chance to rebid. Jobs a good un.
You may. I will have to look out for that.
May I interject that I received my goods at 1:02pm (two minutes late!), and upon opening found that the bloody ADSL filter weren't there! Gawd damn it! I have had to go out and buy an 'instant' (buy from shop and have it in hand) ADSL filter. Ten friggin quid for a piecof plastic, a bit of wire, and some very-fecking-tiny pieces of metal in them. A tenner?! Fucks sake.
Wrote to the seller about it, am undecided on feedback as of yet...
