Good question Sandy/Riggers. They seem to agree at the moment and we haven't changed anything. Maybe I'm going a couple of hours earlier to get the Mythos in?

lol! Jen

Ah Jen, but is Phil going to remain an extra day after you leave to drink the mythos dry??  :D

I think the difference is a discrepancy between TickerFactory and tickers.livingchaos.
If I remember rightly Viv and Pete's dates didn't seem to tally with Martinw's when they were going on same day, and for the same reason.

Strange though.......

Lynn you rascal - you've rumbled me. I will have to own up now. (Hell to pay when she reads this...)

When tickerfactory let her down (?) I saw the perfect opportunity to spend a day extra, soaking up the sun and the Mythos without the Health and Safety briefings (she is good at those) or the guilty feelings, or the responsibility, or...

Truth is, "and this is the truth I'm telling you" a day without Jen is like Arillas without Brouklis. Like the forum without Eggy.

There is no way we will do it separately. Sandy said it once "they are joined at the hip"
Oh well. Thats the truth
Phil

While we were out this evening, got left a message on the answerphone off Tiscali asking us to ring them tomorrow.  With debt of over 500 million euros, this really could be the end as no buyer has been found.
Talks with BSkyB have failed and they claim they are trying to restructure debt.
Don`t hold your breath, folks

From Mail Online today ........

Media regulator Ofcom yesterday moved to allay concerns that Tiscali's financial woes will affect its UK users.

A spokesman said: 'It is highly likely their customer base would be sold to another provider which would mean an uninterrupted service for consumers.'

The group is trying to negotiate a stay of execution from creditors and is looking for new accountants.

Shoot! Oh well, Tiscali was fun while it lasted and I for one was always happy with their service.
Life is good ;)

I'm really glad when I went to Broadband I didn't pick Tiscali. The reasons were their bad customer service, I know there are many happy customers but a good friend has had an  ongoing battle to change to another provider and promises of a mac code, two years on never materialised. Maybe another company could do better.

Cheers

A friend of mine worked in a sales call centre for Tiscali, and he was regularly bombarded with calls from customers begging for help as they couldn't get any sense from the Indian technical support line.  He hated it as he was in no position to help and the company didn't seem interested.  One caller remarked "I've never known such shoddy service!"  My pal replied "I couldn't agree with you more".  Well, all calls are recorded, and he was immediately dismissed for gross misconduct!  He's happier, but poorer now!
