Oh thank goodness for that
Well, the first bit of good news today is that I'm finally back online, having given Bulldog a stern talking to (well several stern talking to's in in fact). During one particularly enlightening conversation I managed to extract from them the confession that they didn't post out the letter warning me that my connection was at risk of suspension until after they'd actually suspended my connection. Someone at their end needs a lesson or two in cause and effect I do believe. I'm glad to have it sorted out now anyway. The whole affair really had descended into pure farce. Another call earlier today revealed that my account was supposed to have been reconnected this first thing morning, but since someone determined that since I hadn't paid the bill I paid on Friday they decided against it. Argh!
Anyway, it's all well now, and hopefully will continue to be well for the foreseeable future.
The second and, and perhaps even better, bit of news is that I finally discovered the title of a song I've had running around at the back of my head for months. It really was driving me up the wall. I couldn't hum enough of it for anyone else to make a positive id, nor was I able to remember a substantial enough fragment of the lyrics to search the net. Fortunately today I was passing through Boots and heard it playing in the background. I quickly accosted a nearby cosmeticist, who consulted with even more cosmeticists. Eventually the combined might of the Boots cosmetic department managed to pinpoint it: Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac. Great song, even better now that I know what it is.
I can now rest easily on both counts.
