AUTOBIOGRAPHY BRIEF
CHRISTINE KEELER

*BT phone line been down for 3 weeks
*Chair didn't arrive
*TISCALI broadband faulty
*ERROR 721

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Had a tough time this weekend sorting out the phone line with BT. Managed to get an engineer to come out monday morning between 9.30-12.30, so thought it was sorted for now. Woke up at 9am to find a message on my phone from 'Jade' saying she had knocked on the door at 8am, and suprisingly she got no answer! (we live in a flat on the first floor, you have to ring the bell so people know your there!) By now i was getting pretty stressed as it has taken so long to get an engineer out and then i missed them.

I quickly phoned up and managed to get another BT tech to come out after they had finished their current job, which turned out to be about 12.30pm. (So much for getting into Chelsea early to see Alex and booking a studio) Alex was shut by the time i got there at 3pm. DAMN! I left Alex a note on a piece of paper, this was my last chance and my handwriting got gradually worse. I left my number with my plea to Alex.

Left for home and was still pretty stressed and nervous. At least the BT line was now sorted and i could simply plug in the DSL modem and get the Internet at home! OH NO I COULDN'T, turns out that Tiscali faulty with ERROR 721, this meant another hour and half of ringing some poorly paid guy telling me what i already knew and simply said sorry try again in a few days. Everythings gone wrong!
