This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

When we had our broadband installed the guy doing it took way too long and got very frustrated and made a mess of it, but it worked. Two days later it stopped working.

When the fault engineer came and fixed it, turned out the original engineer had connected us to the wrong cable, so when another engineer came to set up our neighbour's Internet, they disconnected ours.
