I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

basil2.jpgMy relative silence recently is partly due to having had no broadband access for more than a week. This is all courtesy of BT who seem each day to deny there is a problem then sheepishly admit there is, then say they’ve fixed it, then deny there’s a problem, in some long running feedback loop. I’ve tried to be nice about it but I do feel like Basil Fawlty in the classic sketch. Anyway, I’m struggling along with dialup at the moment and it’s really slowing me down. (Incidentally, did you know they actually made a collectible model of this scene?)

FURTHER UPDATE: This morning broadband is back. Joy!
