| 20:32.26 | JD | hopefully |
| 20:33.53 | Leeds | so I got a parcel in the mail yesterday... |
| 20:34.06 | Leeds | from British Gas of all people |
| 20:35.05 | Leeds | earlier on this year, when I bought my new fridge/freezer from Comet, I got a 'discount' frk |
| 20:35.07 | Leeds | arg |
| 20:35.08 | Leeds | h |
| 20:35.42 | Leeds | discount from British Gas because it was an energy-efficient appliance - in fact, the discount covered the cost of delivery, and of having the council take the old one away... |
| 20:37.32 | Leeds | anyway, so they sent me a parcel this week containing 4 'energy-efficient long-life light-bulbs' |
| 20:37.46 | stephanb | Leeds: ? why not ikea ? |

| 20:39.46 | SpudULike | \cs invite #cjsplace |
| 20:40.04 | SpudULike | WTF! |
| 20:40.10 | Leeds | well, the thing is... I only have 4 'regular' light bulbs in my flat (bedroom, spare room, hall, living room) and the last time one went, I put an energy-saving bulb in... so I now have enough to replace the other 3, and a spare, for free :-) |
| 20:40.11 | murble | what is cjsplace? |
| 20:40.26 | Leeds | I didn't *pay* for the new bulbs - BG just sent them to me out the blue :-) |
| 20:40.26 | SpudULike | It was a secret. |
| 20:42.37 | SpudULike | Ikea may have all sorts of spigots but I, invariably, have a British spigot that just wont fit. |

| 21:03.52 | Wethrin | Hmm. |
| 21:04.01 | Wethrin | LSO playing Bohemian Rhapsody. Interesting. |
| 21:04.53 | stephanb | Wethrin: is that on Radio 3 ? |
| 21:04.59 | Wethrin | Well, LSO + Royal Choral Society |
| 21:05.04 | Wethrin | Nope. On record. |
| 21:05.18 | Wethrin | Radio3 is too quiet for Queen :) |
| 21:07.27 | Jenson | we have a christmas video of my uncle and my cousin singing it, very funny |
| 21:08.00 | Jenson | Wethrin: what was it you said was the most depressing, gothy piece of classical music? |
| 21:08.15 | Wethrin | I never said anything was gothy. |
| 21:08.26 | Jenson | true, i added that |
| 21:08.39 | Wethrin | Yes, well, it's not gothy. |
| 21:08.53 | Wethrin | Mahler's 5th Symphony is supposed to be reputed. |
| 21:09.34 | Jenson | although none of the broadband ppl seem to have cdburners |
| 21:09.36 | Leeds | do you mean 'cool gothic' or real gothic? |
| 21:09.58 | Jenson | Leeds: depends how you define them |
| 21:10.46 | Leeds | well, gothic is about a certain sort of architecture and other artistic things, not wearing dark clothes/makeup and listening to gloomy pretentious music |
| 21:11.14 | Jenson | true |
| 21:11.22 | Jenson | the word just has more than one meaning these days |
| 21:11.58 | Jenson | I seem to be listening to 'Hopelessly Devoted To You' right now lol |

| 21:18.07 | Jenson | cool |
| 21:18.15 | Jenson | anyway, im out of here |
| 21:18.16 | Jenson | seeya |
| 21:18.20 | stephanb | k |
| 21:27.13 | Leeds | anyway, my ADSL finally went down today... BT are listing the completion date for the order as 11/9 - they really have a problem counting |
| 21:27.58 | Wethrin | What are you getting instead? |
| 21:28.38 | Leeds | ADSL - from someone else - but got to do a complete cease-and-reprovision (as they call it) i.e. completely cancel and disconnect the original and start from scratch |
| 21:28.46 | Wethrin | Ah right. |
| 21:29.21 | Leeds | My connection went down 10 days ago - the ADSL should have done down at the same time (one is Freeserve, one BT) |
| 21:29.44 | Wethrin | Who are you going through now? |
| 21:29.58 | Leeds | Bulldog |
| 21:30.06 | Wethrin | Haven't heard of them. |
| 21:30.38 | Leeds | they are one of the two (I think) companies doing LLU |
| 21:30.47 | Wethrin | LLU? |
| 21:30.55 | Leeds | Local Loop Unbundling |
| 21:31.05 | Leeds | although what I'm getting isn't LLU |
| 21:32.02 | Leeds | the theory is that they're a business provider (although they seem to be pushing retail hard ATM) who therefore have spare capacity out of office hours |
| 21:32.54 | Leeds | so they provide a service which is similar to BT during office hours (512/256) but higher outside office hours (2048/256 or 2048/400 if you're on an LLU exchange) |
| 21:34.23 | Leeds | in theory, at least... |
| 21:44.19 | Wethrin | The difference between theory and practice is that, in theory, there is no difference. |
| 21:44.43 | Leeds | right |
| 21:45.46 | Leeds | one of the problems is that for non-LLU exchanges, they have a tendency to a) provide contention at the exchange and b) provide it by provisioning a single 2 meg line for multiple 2 meg customers - and that's a 2 meg line before overhead, so it comes to something like 1.7megabits |
| 21:46.24 | Leeds | anyway, since I'm only paying for the 1meg service and getting the 2meg one - assuming everything works - I'm not hugely bothered if it's actually 1.7meg rather than 2meg |
| 21:46.34 | Wethrin | :) |
