    To be honest, I won't mind doing the work experience just to have something to do and something to write on the CV, provided I'm not expected to work fulltime hours for fuck all.

    Don't think for a second I'd pass up a job at McD if it was all I could get. I'd hate every second of it, but I'd be taking care of my family the best I could.

    I'd better get up and moving. I plan to put a substantial dent in finishing GTA IV today, and I'm not getting anything done sitting here.

    That took alot less time than I thought it would, time to finish off this project so I can go back to sucking at ME2.

    Anyone here living in a country with decent broadband, any idea how providers get it out to severely rural area's? I need to come up with a solution for the aran Islands and suggesting satalite is a quick way to do badly.

    Oh yeah, Virgin Media are upgrading my connection from 10meg to 20meg for free by February. Can't complain with that.

    I already did asection like that titled "the Ideal solution" FIBRE OPTICS EVERYWHERE.

    No I have to do a realistic one that wont bankrupt the country. I drawn up a solution for the majority of the country but cant think of anything for the assholes on the Islands. What a bunch of assholes.

    I had an email from them saying my 100mb connection was being upgraded to 120mb, and the price being reduced to the same as 50mb. Then another email saying they sent the first email by mistake, since I'm on 10mb not 100mb.

    Typical Virgin Media service right there.

    I'm more than happy with the 10meg I have now, but having the speed doubled for nothing, I can't complain in the slightest!

    I'm happy with the speed, but also wont complain with a free upgrade.

    If I had any of the larger packages, 30/50/100mb, I'd probably dload more shit that I'd never watch. I think they should upgrade the newsgroup retention from 30 days as well.
