<0> blatently just trying to have an internal contact thing
<0> YuppieScm: are you in teh uk?
<1> yah
<0> blueyonder is telewest broadband
<1> "working from home" today
<0> heh!
<1> i know
<1> see above
<1> just looked like a random zeeb on a telewest cable connection
<1> tt89 is ~fdgdfgds@82-46-149-43.cable.ubr01.harb.blueyonder.co.uk
<0> yeah - telewest aka cable and wireless aka ntl aka .....
<1> not aka ntl just yet
<1> still a little way off
<0> just annonced today that they are dropping 3,000 jobs in the uk leading up to 2010 as they are "trying to work with larger customers"
<0> I heard they already took ntl
<0> sweet :D I'm ntl
<1> nah - other way around, ntl will take telewest, all been approved at board level, just the mechanics of the deal to happen now
<0> basically they are working towards dropping home customers and going after business
<0> "great"
<0> vodafone do our broadband here
<0> which I was supprised about when I started here
<0> so you will apprechiate why I am pissed off today
<0> had to pay my council tax this morning
<0> thing is - there was a clerical **** up
<0> and I ended up having to pay the whole lot in one go, or face being sued
<1> nice
<0> yup
<0> I felt sick to my stomach as I walked into the (really nice, and obviously expensive - your tax pounds at work) council offices this morning with nealy a grand in cash in my pockets
<0> and I had to hand it over
<0> bastards
<1> hah - should have done it in pound coins
<0> I thought about that
<0> seriously I did
<1> legal tender - the cannot refuse it
<0> but my bank wouldn't provide me with it
<0> I took as much coinage as I could though
<0> still ended up with mostly notes though
<1> flip side is doing it in 50s - place really hate them...
<1> or as a bank draft - as it confuses the **** out of them
<0> next time
<0> I'll take in each months payment as a bank draft...... at the end of the year
<0> 10 bank drafts......... your problem now
<2> money talk

<2> what tax group is your place, MattyT?
<0> C I think
<2> i still haven't sorted out my concil tax
<2> been in my place like 2 years now
<2> waiting to be arrested
<2> thing is, i thought if you signed up for the electoral register they automatically sent you a concil tax letter or something
<0> I've not signed that
<0> yet I got stung
<2> how come?
<2> they send you a letter?
<1> MattyT : there's are least one answer missing from that list
<2> i have some savings so as long as i don't get arrested/fined is hould be okay
<2> is that a real msce test?
<0> they sent me a bill, 10 months after I moved in (after I told them that I wasn't paying tax and they should sort their act out)
<1> "do demonstrations to mamanement inside VMs, so other people can't **** with them" is a better answer
<0> and the bill basically said :"you owe us this amount, payable by 01 feb 06"
<0> So I went in and shouted at them for being ****ing idiots, and sending ME a final letter when *I* told that they ****ed up
<0> then I told them I wasnt going to pay it by the deadline, and that I would pay them over 10 months like everyone else
<1> MattyT : thing is, no matter what they try to imply, they *cannot* refuse to let you pay in installments
<0> then they sued me
<0> yeah - I thought that, thats why I was being an arsehole
<0> I was quite supprised when I got summoned to court
<0> that was last week.
<0> I had a deadline of april 17th to pay them off. so I just went in and paid
<0> oh, AND they put court costs on top#
<1> don't pay the court costs
<2> so the moral of this story is i shouldn't mess about with them or what? heh
<0> but that was like - so for the sake of losing what is left of my precious credit status
<0> ...
<0> Edward123: pretty much, yeah
<2> my place is a flat out in the countryside - must be the cheapest concil tax group there is
<0> they have the power to do things like... stop having your waste collected
<1> no they don't
<0> and to put stupid really bright street lamps in the lamp outside your bedroom window
<0> YuppieScm: ok, they dont have the "right" but they do have the power
<0> in fairness I was a real arsehole
<0> mine is centre of leicester
<3> neat.. im in london this week
<2> ah
<3> islington to be specific
<0> its nice around there
<1> MattyT : actually, the *power* only exists in theory - given how ****ed up most councils are, trying to coordinate something like that will always fail
<0> I'm getting worked up again about this council tax things
<0> I may go and make tea
<1> i used to live in islington
<0> and biscuits
<0> biscuits make everything better
<0> YuppieScm: they managed it
<3> i think i could make your head explode if i told you that 100% of my mortgage interest in the states is tax deductable
<2> you must be a rich son of a bitch, YuppieScm
<1> i don't regard myself as rich
<0> I've not had a dencent nights sleep in like a month, this bloody light is light headlamps or something
<2> i do
<2> heh
<0> phargle: nice dude. thanks for that
<1> Edward123 : well, i suppose to a country bumpkin like yourself, anyone wearing a *pair* of shoes must seem rich
<1> MattyT : air-rifle
<1> MattyT : or curtains
<2> YuppieScm, that's right
<0> lol! I put up some new curtains... really heavy ones
<2> countryside wales too, inventors of beastiality
<0> and they pulled the rails out of the wall!!
<2> even before those easterners the welsh were at it
<0> Edward123: you are welsh?
<0> I'm so sorry
<3> MattyT: <3
<2> heh no
<2> i'm from surrey origionally
<0> lol
<0> couldnt make tea, boss is having a "meeting" with his wife in the coffee room
<1> webcam!

<4> how can I find the instance name of my sql server 2005 express?
<0> phargle: ::sigh::
<0> I was on a train to nottingham this weekend, and we got delayed bc there were cows on the lines and the train had to stop
<0> and the annoncer came on the pa system and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, I appologise for the delay. The train has been forced to stop as there are cows on the line, and we are waiting for them to mooooooooooooooooooove". The whole train collectively sighed. That sigh was not nearly as collective as the one for you
<1> Kulvis : that question was answered earlier today
<4> YuppieScm. is the service name the same as the instance name?
<1> Kulvis : in the upper-left quadrant of the keyboard is a button with "F1" on it. i advise you to press it...
<4> :p
<5> YuppieScm, good one :)
