Having moved into my new house in Stoke while I'm doing my second year of university me and my house mates decided to get the internet connected. This may be all very well and good. After all, the internet is a valuable source of information for any course you may be studying. Christ knows how people did their degrees without it. I suppose the library was actually pretty full fifteen years ago.
Anyway, after settling on Virgin Media as our internet supplier and signing the contracts they finally come across as a set of useless arseholes.
I don't apologise for the above statement one bit to be honest. It was the most polite word I can think of to describe them. The engineer didn't have a clue what he was doing. He simply gave us a modem, plugged it into the mains and after half an hour pissing about making himself look busy, he fucks off leaving us with no internet and a £30 installation fee. Frankly, I'm refusing to pay it because technically we installed the internet ourselves (or to be precise, Ian did.)
He had to nick the installation disc from Dan's house and set up the activation process himself on his laptop before we were left with one modem and an used wireless router which we can't figure out because the instructions are missing. To make a further mockery of Virgin Media, they promised us another free router which they still haven't delivered.
Richard Branson doesn't know what type of useless vaginas run his company.

Chapter Eleven - The evil of Internet blogging.
Its too much bother to constantly update an Internet blog on a routine basis. I mean, who has the time to constantly update a blog with the pressures of everyday life pushing down on you whatever your lifestyle? Whether your a businessman, middle management or working on the minimum wage, all you want to do when you have a bit of time to yourself is to chill out and relax. Mabye cathch up on a bit of Sky+, iPlayer or watch a DVD. Whatever it is, most of the time you just want to forget about all your worries.
My main blog, A Tap on the Twenty, had only been updated once since Febuary until now. In that time, a lot of issues have been dead and buried within the Rugby League world. Take Setanta Sport's administration for example. It put English fans of the NRL into a panic less than 24 hours before a very important game in July. And yet I only just reported on it last night. An even bigger wait for an update was this blog. I had not updated this place since October, until now.
And its not just me being lazy. A large proportion of active blogs have been left out of date, some as far back as 2002. Its very hard finding the time to keep updating a blog. But from now on I promise to keep both my blogs updated for as long as I can.
