If you cross Father Christmas with a horse, do you get a Santaur?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You're really riding him, aren't you?

I wasn't trying to be an ass. I'm just horseplaying.

Best to rein it in, methinks.

If we don't whip him into shape, his postings will get weaker. And who really wants sad-dull jokes?

I canter argue with that.

What's all this equine-ing about?

Oh, we were just horsin' around.

Do you ever keep your imagination in reins dear friend?
Life is too shor

Maybe. But you should ask for permission to Father Christmas first, or to the horse, or both.
And Father Christmas should be really careful when sneaking behind the horse. You don't want to deprive children of their presents, do you?

That'd make him a 'gift horse' I guess?

This[^] is what happens if you cross Santa Claus!

This is very dependent on the sex of the horse (assuming/supposing (?) Father Christmas is male)
(?) I don't which one does match better for natives

So I've had no internet at home for nearly two weeks after Virgin Media "upgraded" me for "free" to 150mbps. I have had four modems and three "Engineer" visits or technicians as they call them. Today I just got this by email.
From February next year, your bill will be going up by £4.49 a month
We know it's never nice when prices go up. That's why we're always looking to give you an even better Virgin Media experience – with faster broadband speeds for our customers and brand new Virgin Media WiFi coming in 2016.
That's around a 10% p.m. increase WTF are they completely insane?!?!!?

|
|
|
|
10%? You're paying 40 quid a month for home broadband? No offence, but who's the insane one?
|
|
|
|

Yes you are right, the £52 I pay each month includes £17.50 a month for the phone, I never use the land-line so I forgot to factor it in. The increase is probably nearer 5%, but its still a lot considering I currently have 0.0mbs broadband.

You should see what it costs in the U.S. And in most places you can't even get that kind of speed.
My long term goal is to live forever. So far, so good...

Well, if you will live in these third world countries!

I pay almost $60 for about 20mbps on a good day. I'm lucky enough to have a provider that isn't Comcast or TWC (although they're not much better). Some people in the cities pay ridiculous amounts for like 50mbps. I'm not sure 150mbps would even be considered.

Pretty impressive that they can deliver email to you when you haven't got an Internet connection. Sounds well worth the extra £4.49 per month!
Also, how did you post that message if you're off-line? Are you some sort of wizard[^]?

I do have a phone with a data connection, that's my only link with the outside world at the moment, tethered to my PC when I'm @ home. I feel like I'm in the dark ages, its amazing how much I/we rely on the internet these days.

I used to have a phone w/Virgin Mobile.
I hate them.
Hate there patronizing and useless India Customer Service.
Hate the quality of service (last to recover from Sandy by 6 months == 300% longer)
(I hate them even more than I do Verizon)
If you've an alternative, you ought to take it.
