Matthew Westcott said: "A true story. I was supposed to get my phone and broadband connected today in my new flat, so I had to work from home (with no internet access except what I could *cough* borrow from the open wi-fi spot that I can just about connect to if I sit next to an open window freezing my balls off) to wait for the BT engineer to arrive. He didn't. And of course, with FAWM starting today, it's particularly annoying that I can't spend this evening downloading people's songs. So what better way to vent than to rant about it in a song.

And yes, I am scrounging off the neighbour's wi-fi to upload this."

Lyrics:
On a Monday morning you'll come calling
If you've got a phone line you want installing
We can help, it's what we do
We'll be glad to take your money off you

We'll take your details, and run off with them
To find your record on our system
And then we'll share these words of wisdom:
"We'll have to send a man round" (man round)

...Did somebody mention me? Because:
Hey hey, I'm the man from BT
I drive a white van and drink lots of coffee
Hey hey, I'm the man from BT
I might plug a wire in occasionally
Hey hey, I'm the man from BT
I won't show up when you're expecting me
But you'd better be in when I'm at large
'Cause there's a 50 pound callout charge

We'll ask you when would be the best time to call
Give you three choices and ignore them all
You'll have to take the day off work
Waiting for some useless berk

And it goes without saying that you don't have a phone
or a broadband connection to call your own
So while you wait for me to arrive
You'll have to scrounge off your neighbour, oh oh
Scrounge off your neighbour's wifi

[chorus]

If you aren't happy with our level of service
You can get screwed, 'cause we do it on purpose
We don't care if you've got a problem
What're you going to do, complain to Ofcom?

And the best thing is, we're the market leaders
You have no choice, because you'll always need us
So don't even think about alternative suppliers
We'll still fuck you over, cause we own the wires, hey hey!

[chorus]

FishGuy876 FishGuy876 / Brainstorm	This reminds me of when I take time off work to call the local phone company. A couple of hours off work turns into an entire day, sometimes even 2!! Brilliant
