So we thought our BT woes were over. No such luck. This morning, when I have to work from home because we're moving office and we have no working office computers, I find that they have disconnected the broadband altogether.

Not just disconnected it, but when I phone support it transpires that there is no broadband on our account and there never has been. Except that it was working yesterday you staggeringly incompetent fucktards.

I just don't know what more we can do, we have an account number ( doesn't exist ) they sent us a router modem, and the fucking service worked and then suddenly it doesn't exist and it never did exist.

I never finished Gormenghast because I couldn't find anything appealing in it's strange rites and dusty ritual and suddenly I find myself in just such a tortuous and incomprehensible labyrinth.

It is very difficult to vex me, and yet I am now vexed. In fact I am rapidly approaching incandescant. Curse you, British Telecom, curse you to the black pit of ignorance and despair from whence you came.

First. Against. The. Wall. When. The. Revolution. Comes.

It looks like we will. We shall also be asking BT to give us some money for our time and taking them to task in the strongest possible terms.

It's constantly amazing how utterly useless these massive companes are. I did wonder how the hell they stay afloat when they're all so rubbish, eventually I realsied they're all equally bad and therefore the world balances out.

What Scott thingummibob describes as a confusopoly- companies who do the same thing equally badly just trying to confuse people into changing provider.

And secondly

"In fact I am rapidly approaching incandescant."

You can glow in the dark! Cool!

Not cool at all, on the contrary, hot with a searing heat like burning magnesium...

staggeringly incompetent fucktards.

I may have to borrow that.

And yeah, wow. You certainly don't get that ticked off very often, I'm amazed it can be done.

Go kick some ass. And ignore my comment on your other post. :P

Funnily enough, when I ask my phone to spell "fucktards" it came out as "fuckvases". I'm not sure what those are, and I'm not sure that I'm pleased my phone is thinking about them.

That particular Orwellian denial of the past chimes with me. I remember when I moved from Cardiff, I wanted to put the Virgin bill into the name of someone who, you know, would be living in that house now.

I said 'but I took it over from someone else in the first place, I know you can do that.'
He said that HAD NEVER been allowed.

I told him, no, seriously, that's what I did. Maybe it had changed under Virgin, though?

He said no, NEVER!

I Argued with him for a bit and eventually just started to take the piss as the whole process was entirely futile. I ended up arguing about whether or not he was allowed to disagree with me.

'no, you see, because I'm not disagreeing with you, technically, I'm telling you the procedure.'

'I really think this constitutes an argument.'

'no, it doesn't, because...'

'Please God, let this call be listened to by one of the mysterious overlords who listen to these idiots' calls...'

"This isn't an argument, it's a contradiction!"

He was getting quite irate about it, too.
