Pipex Woes

As many of you know I work for a hosting company called Pipex, well we were called Pipex until Tiscally bought the DSL site, now are called GXN. Let me make it quite clear “I can not fix your broadband, I work for the webhosting site of the business!”. Well there are quite a few people out there who have had problems with the DSL site of the business. Last night I needed to get some shopping when I got home from work, so getting changed out of my work stuff I pull on the first thing I had to hand, this being a Pipex top. BIG MISTAKE.

So there I was at the check out and the guy staffing it notices the logo and cant help telling me all his dsl problems and how Pipex had never to his dsl to work blah blah blah. but while he is doing this I am trying to enter my pin number wrong number wrong number wrong number Card locked. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Water heater woes

So as you may have read in my previous posting “A very British Earthquake” I have a bad sensor on my water heater, this is ment to detect leaks, but mine has an additional function of sensing Earthqukes. Now my water heater is right over my washing machine and this has ment for the last 6 -7 weeks when ever my washing machine goes into it’s spin cycle the alarm goes off. To further add to my woes this shuts off all the water in my apartment. However this is now fixed and I will be able to do my washing with out the ear piercing screech of an alarm.
