Oh, for Heavens SAKE, Zaphod!

I've got to admit, right now, I'm MIGHTILY hacked off!
I really am!
Right at the moment, I'm sitting in Brentowood's library - using a PC, so you can imagine how I feel about that! - to put this post up!
I'm having mixed feeling's about BT, I know that.
I missed a payment, back in May, and settled it by paying the bill at a local shop that had a Pay Point terminal. Something that, for my US readers, lets you pay bills over the 'net, with a swipe card, key, what have you: it lets you make electronic payments for things like this, fairy easily.
And - bar leaving the money in my bank account to keep up to date with the rest of the payments for my broad bandbill - thought nothing more of it.
'Til they cut me off, this morning!
It turns out that, while they'd cut me, their wholesellers HADN'T.
No, I'm not complaining.
Not as I've had six and a half months of free broadband.
Nor can I complain, as BT have manfully offered to re-connect me, at a slightly better price, a new hub, and without charging for the past few months.
About the only problem I do have, is the simple fact it's going to take some five working days to do so.
Which means I'm going to be back online, on a regular basis, on the 31st of this month.
Until then, I'm going going to try my damndest to keep the Teaser's up and running, til then.
Just don't expect miracles.
So, what I'm going to do, right here, and now, is assure you I'm still here!
And, while 'll I've got the chance, wish you a Happy Christmas, Happy Channukkah, Happy (belated) Eid, Happy Kwaanzaa, Happy Dand Belated Happy Solstice to any pagans out there.
Have a good Christmas, folks, WHATEVER you call this time of year.

    Hope your BT problem gets sorted out soon. Good luck! It must be murder for you to be without the internet!

    Happy Christmas to you too, Paul. See you soon,

    James

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
