Despite numerous phone calls and the threat of tears I still have no ADSL. The only comfort I draw from this is that it’s not just me experiencing situations like this. They happen all the time here, not just with ADSL either. As long as I’m waiting here for my fast internet connection I know there’s a small child waiting for a bone marrow transplant or a patient requiring life-saving treatment that gets the same rigmarole of misinformation and inaction. I guess it’s slightly worse for them. Slightly.
As it’s dull as dishwater international friendlies this week news is fairly thin on the ground. We’re told that Ashley Cole might be called as a witness to the FA inquiry into his meeting with Chelsea. That should be interesting. ‘Anything you say might be used as evidence against your new employers Chelsea.’
Seriously though, what do they expect him to say? If he says ‘Yes, Chelsea tapped me up’ then bang goes his big-money move. It’ll be ‘no comment’ all round I’d imagine and I’d be interested in knowing whether or not he has to be appear at this inquiry or if he can refuse. Anyone know?
Arsenal’s reserves beat their Ipswich counterparts 2-1 last night with both goals coming from prolific young Italian Arturo Lupoli. That makes 981 goals this season for him so far. Not much else going right now. Once again I shall spend all day telling the same fucking story to customer service people. I might start adding in some bits now like ‘…and when I rang yesterday the girl told me to go and fuck myself because I was a stupid Irish bastard. I demand compensation.’
We’ll see if that helps speed things along. Doubt it though.
