Lol, just read through the whole thread. Theres nothing like technology to cheer a chap up. I'm thinking of getting Virgin myself with some BIG broadband :)

Re: Is there anything at all to be cheerful about?
 

Since I stopped living on the internet reading depressing threads I've been much happier :D

I also stopped being a tight **** and started living for the day... this also has completely changed me. I used to forever worry about losing my job, or being made redundant, no matter how unlikely it was. So all I ever used to do was save and worry about money. Now I just live to my means and enjoy myself.

One thing that has helped me more than anything else though is setting myself challenges and goals. It gives you something to aim for, you achieve it and it's an amazing feeling... then you set harder ones.

As of yesterday, im getting 30mb broadband from virgin for £10 less a month, i ran speedtest.net a few times in the last 24 hours and its not dropped below 24mb :)

Re: Is there anything at all to be cheerful about?
 

Nice! I'm with the devil himself - Talk Talk, I'm paying for 8mb, speed test come out at around 4 despite BT telling me I'm really near the exchange so I could get hyperspeed over the phone line. When I complained to Talk Talk they told me I'd have to pay more for a higher speed. I asked them why I should pay more to get the speed I'm already paying for so essentially I'm then paying more to not get an even higher speed :scratch:. Oh my god I hate Talk Talk, I really really really hate Talk Talk. I left talk talk & went with Tiscali who then got bought by talk talk!! I HATE TALK TALK HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.

(In case it isn't clear i've had a few bad experiences with them) I'm off to phone Virgin

"Live 'till you die."

Pretty basic quote, but it sums it up for me.

The baliffs aren't at the door.
I've had one of my favourite teas - ssshh, don't tell the boss but it was a Big Mac & fries.
I've just poured a large JD
I'm playing golf tomorrow forthe first time in 4 months
Out on the bike on Sunday
I could add plenty about the lovely family and friends I've been 'blessed' with.... life's excellent.

Talk Talk were much better when they were a band, specially singing (and I think you'll all agree, appropriately for this thread) "Life's What You Make It"
