Stuff what annoys me. And a good book.

I've been very un-updatey this weekend haven't I. Probably because I've got nothing exciting to say!

I finished reading At Swim, Two Boys on Sunday. Loved it. What a fabulous book. It took me two days to get round to reading the last fifty pages because I knew it couldn't end well and couldn't stand to read it. And I was right. Gah. But it couldn't have ended any other way really.

I am pissed off with NTL yet again. The channels have been disappearing one by one and what we do have is freezing. An engineer was meant to come out this evening and surprise, surprise, they couldn't come. And so I couldn't watch Smallville because E4 disappeared today and so has Sky One. Fuckers. I think Sky may be getting a new customer.

And now Semagic won't post this. Bugger it.

I loved that book. And yes, you knew how it was going to end but all the way through you were hoping and hoping that it would end differently. But you're right - fitting ending. The sign of a great book :)

My NTL is rubbish as well. If it weren't for the broadband and the phone deal, I'd never consider having cable again after our contract is up. But maybe I'm too broke to consider something else - i.e. sky and a broadband deal. *sigh*

You're right, I was hoping that it would end differently. But you knew it couldn't.

We've got NTL broadband and the phone too so I don't know if we really will switch but we've had so many problems with the cable over the last six months and it's just getting ridiculous. The only thing we've never had problems with is the phone. Yet.
