I started with grand plans.. new dual sim phone, relaxing weekend and  fix up a few things that needed to be done.
Alas to none it has come.
Went to Fortune Plaza to source a new dual sim phone.. none in size or make that I wanted so decided to get internet on my personal blackberry ( I have work BB that has intranet).

Lady at DTAC desk doesn't speak any English so my gf starts telling here what i want or rather telling her what she thinks I want.. long Thai conversations with paperwork being filled out.. leave DTAC with words " internet will be on in 15 minutes".

What bothered me at the time was that i kept asking my gf that all I wanted was internet capability added to my current DTAC personal number so on my personal BB I could check gmail etc....  reassurances that this would be the case... more thai conversations with lots of chai chai... ugh, ugh ugh mixed in for good measure.

So we leave and im less than happy or convinced that anything we set out to get was actually accomplished.

So 5 hours later , yes you guessed it, no internet and my phone number doesn't work. GF calls DTAC... they apologise and ask me to reboot phone.. still no go.. ask me to wait 1 hour more.. we wait.. nothing.. call again..  this time Im running out of good cheer and fellow spirit. I get to talk to a DTAC lady in English and I  just tell her to cancel the whole thing... she says she will but will have to send me a bill. I ask (trying to keep calm) for what ??? she states for the internet service...  at this stage Im ready to launch..
Long and short is my phone is still disconnected which is a real bitch as my Australian work number is diverted to this phone. Still trying to get this sorted.

Sunday morning.... ahh a  new day.. up and at it.... home internet service not working.. looks like its a problem with TRUE server.. no matter have some errands to run so on the motorbike on with the helmet and gloves and off we go. Pop in at TESCO's for 10 minutes  and yes you guessed it come back outside and helmet is stolen.... personally i believe that stealing someones helmet from a parked bike is one of  the lowest things to do...

Come back home and gf start putting stuff in fridge, knocks the jar of Vegemite out and smashes it on the floor...

so there we have it  boys and girls.. hows your weekend been hopefully better than mine...

Mid you i really hope I see the f#$kwit that took my helmet as it will juts be the perfect excuse to take out my pent up weekend frustration.

A group of the labourers working on a new hotel nearby had their shacks bulldozed by the landowner on Saturday but I'm sure they'll be losing sleep over your dreadful weekend.

Marmite -Best thing that could possibly have  happened to it

[farang000999]

nothing more painful than going through a gf when it comes to stuff like internet technical support. this is something where the advice giver only knows what they are doing 1/2 of the time and hard to translate/pass on.

Yesterday the owner of the house we are renting infomed the missus that her son wants to move in and start a business from home, that means we have to look for another rental.

Yes we have a contract, but this woman has been a pain in the proverbial from the begining, now she has asked us to leave it gives us an out.

I like it, a conspiracy theory in the making, part of a larger picture perhaps?

Nothing can be ruled out at this stage.

The BIB have conducted an investigation and have ruled that it was vegicide, the jar of Vegemite jumped of its own accord and wasn't pushed, case closed.
