Around The World In 80 Waves

It is a good job I am not totally dependant on my email address for the next year. Oh hang on, in fact I am.

BT have stopped my email address from working properly because 90 days have now passed since I stopped paying for a broadband line at my flat in London. It turns out that free webmail such as Gmail or Hotmail is not a service they provide. However such a drastic step apparently merits no communication or warning of such impending doom.

Having spent at least an hour every day for the last week trying to figure out why I have had to keep reconfiguring my email on both the laptop and mobile phone I eventually discover the root of the problem. I think I can fix it by spending half a million pounds on international phone calls at 3am US time because it is the only hope I will have of ever getting connected to an office hours number in the UK (most of which will be spent being placed on hold by people in India who do not understand me, let alone the nature of the problem) or by changing my email address with just about everyone and everything that I have ever interacted with since the start of the internet. All of which will be done using a shared dial up speed internet link I hasten to add.

I will leave it as I am not very happy with them right now. Anything closer to my current feelings are not broadcastable.
