More news on TalkTalk. Following my threatening e-mail to the company’s chairman, Charles Dunstone, I had a couple of messages left on both my mobile and landline answer phone.
The messages came from one of Mr. Dunstone’s top dogs and contained a grovelling apology for the delay, along with a confession – due to unforeseen circumstances, my broadband will not be live until 13th May! Call me sceptical, but I don’t think they ever intended to get me on before mid-May. I promptly asked to cancel EVERYTHING, to which they accepted.
I then called BT, saying all was forgiven, and begged them to take me back. They agreed. I also signed up for their broadband service. It’s a little more expensive than most ISP’s, but after careful research (something I didn’t do before signing up to TalkTalk), they seem to be very good.
Following the cancellation, I received another grovelling message from TalkTalk, this time asking if there was anything they could possibly do in order to assist me with my return to BT. After a further telephone call with them this morning, I have had my cancellation formally accepted, an apology issued and all outstanding charges I owe (about £34) wiped out.
Assuming everything goes to plan and I return to BT smoothly, I will be a happy bunny. I retract my statements about Charles Dunstone being a crook. Based upon my own personal experience, I cannot retract my opinion on the overall TalkTalk service. Why did I have to resort to contacting the chairman of a major company in order to get a result? I found TalkTalk to be unprofessional, unreliable and a farce. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. But that’s just me. Maybe they have millions of very satisfied customers…

- A Sticky Decision
Considering that Leeds are now a Premier League team, is it time to start collecting stickers again?
... - I Was Going To Blog
... but my laptop has decided to perform the biggest update in the world.
It's been stuck on 27% since what feels like the year 1927, so your guess is as good as mine as to when it will finish and allow me to blog again.
... - KWYJIBO
I found an IQ Test online today.
I must admit - it was a lot shorter and easier than the one Bart cheated on, during that episode of The Simpsons, some stupidly long time ago! Despite its age, I am yet to see a Kwyjibo on a David Attenborough documentary.
There are only three questions in this... - Power Cut
I had a power cut today. I'm pointing the finger of blame at Storm Hannah. Bitch.
Losing electricity is always a shocking and distressing experience. It's up there with your water being cut off, or a sudden disappearances of all oxygen and air.
Imagine if I had been blogging at the time of the thoughtless power interruption.... - Happy Birthday To… ??? (Part 1)
March 12th.
It was a very special birthday yesterday...
You may already be aware of who it was for - if not, perhaps you noticed the rather jazzy Google logo?
In case you still don't know what the hell I am on about, the Internet turned 30 yesterday... although there are many who still question the correct date...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
