Hi all,
Just an apology for my absence, and particularly for not getting on with my Subbing duties (in my defence I was waiting to here from the author who seems to have disappeared). I am currently without a home connection to the webosphere, because one housemate is moving out and has cancelled his package and the one who was meant to arrange a new one clearly hasn't and appears to have gone off on holiday. Bah.

Any movement on your internet connection? Or have you decided you can do without?

Piles of untouched books are sort of mandatory. Only the poorest among us lack those. For real status, you need a pile that goes almost up to the ceiling, because that means you are too vital to the Free World's survival to be allowed to do any leisure reading.

No Vip, still nothing. As I understand it my housemate intends going with the Post Office, who he gets his phone from, but before signing up for anything else he wants to check what he's being charged and so has been asking them for months to send him a bill. It's funny, most providers seem to have no trouble sending you bills - our gas company sent three in the last month, the most recent threatening to cut us off.

Hmm. A nice complaint letter detailed exactly what you are waiting for and what business it has already made them lose might be a good place to start.

Mmm, but I'm not waiting for anything except my housemate. I do wonder if I've got the story right and it's not just him being useless.
