BT Phone Home
21 June 2007
It's been a right pain trying to sort out a BT line for the new house. I spent 30 mins on hold today trying to get through to their call centre. I only wanted to ask why I needed to pay a £50 deposit before I could get connected. When I did eventually get through I was told it was because of my credit rating. Bullcrap! I have a friend who's a declared bankrupt (he chose to do so though) and he didn't have to pay any deposit. Stupid BT /grumble. If they weren't the only company you could rent a phone line from I'd have gone elsewhere already it. As it is I've no choice but to pay. I guess I could get my parents to fork out the money. It will be repayable once we decide to close the account so it's not like we're losing that money. It's still a pain though. Hopefully getting broadband won't be so annoying. I'm thinking of switching ISPs to Orange. They do the same connection speed for £5 cheaper than my current one. They'd better not have any shady deposits as well or I'm going to be majorly peed off.
I'm still playing through Atelier Iris 2. It's getting better as it goes along. There is, however, the presence of Poe; quite possibly the most annoying character in an RPG ever! His bloody voice is irritating as hell, even in the Japanese dub, and the way he acts just gets on your nerves. Some people may find him cute, I find I want to hit him around the head with a shovel. Crappy characters aside, the gameplay is getting more interesting. As new recipes get discovered the scope for exploration increases. I can't help feeling this game is a little easy though. Apart from one insanely biased boss fight (where he uses a cheat move constantly), there haven't been too many challenging fights in the game. That would probably be my only criticism of the game at the moment. That and the prick Poe...
