Ah. Just began making my web site, spurred on in part by my election as Keele Uni Concert Band's web site director. I thought i had better work on an improvement on my previous site, given that i am supposed to be in charge of a new one that i must soon create thats supposed to be good or something.
This part of this site is going to be my chance for a rant at all that ails me.
First this week shall be the turn of O2, the phone network people. As many will know as i have bored them with the story, i have found O2's service record abysmal. For a start, just to get my new mobile phone, i had to supply them with enough details about my life and condition therein as would be required to join the fecking police force. They tell me i need a bank statement to get my phone with my address on as it is a contract one. So fair does says i, and on production of said statement, i am told it wont do, because it has to be dated in the last two months; and was two days out of date. TWO FECKING ARSE PIDDLING UP YOUR MONKEY DAYS! Its bureaucracy gone fucking mad. So despite production of my driving licence (also invalid as a proof of address as its a provisional), a signed statment from the bank saying i was who i said i was, a mini statement from that day as well as 3 months correspondance from the bank, they wouldnt let me have a poxy bloody mobile phone, and instead had to wait another month for a new bank statement to be posted me from home...in the isle of man for christs sake!! Finally though i got my new mobile phone. I then lost it in the students union after one short month of ownership. I am now in the process of wading through yet more bureaucracy, red tape and three days long waiting lists. Moral of the story? Dont go to purchase a new mobile at a store that has the ludicrous slogan of 'see what you can do', because its anything other than simply buy a bloody phone.
