Happy St Paddy's Day

The Wearin' O' the Green
Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green.

Today is the day when the little people are seen.

Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad,

Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.

Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip.

Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel,

ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit.

Ya' prance 'n dance around the room,

n' circle one two three.

The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.

No internet - how did we do it before???

Hello world,
After almost 2 weeks with no internet at work, its finally back up and running, i dont know what was wrong with it, to be honest I don't really care,however, this service provider has a completely ridiculous customer service attitude - it seems to be- ignore all the complaint emails for as long as possible, and leave customer on hold for at least 45 minutes or otherwise until they hang up-Anyway, we came to the point that we just sent them a last email and told them that we were cancelling out direct debit, as we weren't paying for a service that we were obviously not using... and MAGIC... email about 2 hours later, saying that there was a problem with the "line"(whatever that means), and we would have internet again by next morning the latest - and we did... : ) We're all happy again.. Especially cos I have been on a Health and Safety course all week ( I know, exciting stuff.... not ) , and I couldn't check my emails, couldn't check friends blogs ( Del - ur blog as usual looks great) .

Since when did I become internet dependent??? I check my emails about 10 times a day, its ridiculous, I know...
Anyway, there's no point going on an on about...

Once again Hello world... I'm back : )
