Broadband badness

November 6th, 2006 · Posted by Skuds in Technology · No Comments · Technology

Something has been wrong with our broadband all day, preventing me from going to every sports site on the Internet to gloat over West Ham beating Arsenal. It was off in the morning, and as we came up Woodmans Hill on the way back from town I saw a couple of vans at one of the Telewest distribution boxes, and a shower of sparks.

Not sure if they were using arc welding equipment or a chainsaw, but either way it did not look good so I was not surprised to find it still dead when we got home. It all came back eventually this evening.

But what a game though! I was sure that Arsenal should have had a penalty, but when they showed the replays later on it turned out that the ref was actually right. Seeing Pardew and Wenger squaring up for a fight was… different. What was that all about? Wenger threw a wobbly and went for Pardew, refused to shake his hand after the game and then afterwards Pardew apologised.

But who cares? We won and the only thing which spoiled the day was watching Spurs win later on, although it did make the rest of the family happy.
