It's amazing how soon we get used to things that might bother other people and before you know it the broken thing is normal.<br /><br />Not sure I like the idea of no broadband though. *shudder*Bagladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997388396773480963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-24898114923154409342010-07-17T12:22:48.180+01:002010-07-17T12:22:48.180+01:00You make us sound like tramps.

That way I won't even notice its not working properly.Philip Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164671362164285231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1856509975336351108.post-44836340719793156252010-07-16T18:20:55.051+01:002010-07-16T18:20:55.051+01:00That is so funny!
