Bad Boy Internet...........

[Costas2008]

It has been more than a week now that I haven’t complained about anything on TVF.

Quite overdue, I think, so I have to moan about my recent misfortunes.

No, I’m not going to moan about the electricity that’s being cut at least once a week.

Neither for the collection of my rubbish that the garbage truck is always in the garage for repairs.

But I’m going to moan about my Internet provider, TOT.

From last Thursday and still now, I have used the TOT internet for about 3 hours as it is not working.

I rang them numerous times and I was promised that it will be fixed.

Nothing happened.

So this morning, instead of paying my monthly bill at 7/11, I went to the TOT offices and was prepared to start a row in there.

Went to the desk, gave the bill to the lady and said to her.

Me: Internet is not working from Thursday; I want 4 days deducted from my bill.

Lady: Cannot do that.

Me: Why not? Your fault, internet is not working.

Lady: Not TOT fault, Internet fault, sorry no deduction from your bill.

Me: Bad boy internet, you should punish him for not being good to us.

At that point she gave me a strange look, like saying……time for your medication dearie, so I closed my mouth, paid the whole bill and went to have a beer to drown my sorrows.

After so many years living in Thailand and still haven’t learned my lesson that I have no rights or get satisfaction for anything here.

But at least feel better after my moan to you.

Et, where is my medication?

Et, is my loving, caring wife of 42 that I started thinking of replacing her with two 21s.

At least that will keep me happy for some time…….but please don’t grass me to her, cos I know she can’t see what I’m writing, as she’s forgotten her password and she thinks she can’t get into TVF without one.

Especially, you Collin……..I know your sort………………

How was that beer?.....cold , really cold or change your life perfect and your coming back for more cold?

I ask this as I dont have any cold beer.

[overit]

Don't replace Et with two 21 year olds, even if the opportunity does arise.

Just say "ahhhhh" and take your pills.

[colinneil]

Costas even the lady at TOT agrees with me about you not taking your medication.

Me grass you up? What are you thinking.

Now i know why you visited me alone last week. You are scared i speak to your lovely wife. Ha ha

I wish I could cancel but they are the only provider in my area in the sticks.

And that was not the first time it has happened.

At least now I've got one of those smart phones and I can connect to the computer and have internet.

Be proud of me, even old farts like me can get technologically advanced.

The only thing still can't do is put Thai Visa on my phone.....but I'm working on that.................
