If you can get through to a manager of some sort who had the authority to bypass it and are really charming you might get some luck but I doubt that's gonna happen. I had to wait once and my old man worked for BT.

We asked the landlord if he could get in touch with the previous tenant and get them to cancel, but weirdly he didn't seem that interested in helping. I ended up calling and pretending to be the tenant to cancel, and it worked out.

Just identify what mobile broadband you can get in the area and use one if them; either via a mobile hotspot, via your router if it can use a dongle, etc. Mobile broadband has dramatically dropped in price in the past couple of years and now is affordable for normal use. ukle fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Aug 4, 2016 |

quote:Labour officials have begun sending out lists of “registered supporters”, the people who have forked out 25 quid to take part in the party’s leadership election, in an effort to weed out anyone who is deemed not be a “genuine Labour supporter”. And according to a senior figure in the Labour Party in Croydon, “This includes, for example, anyone who tweeted that they voted Green in the 2015 General Election. A lot of wasted £25 quids there. They're also banning anyone that uses blairite. http://www.thecanary.co/2016/08/04/use-one-simple-word-labour-will-now-ban-leadership-election-vote/

Smith was pretty bad. Not directly answering the nationalisation question for example, even though he's given some good answers at Q&As even only yesterday. Not sure why he didn't level criticisms at Jeremy's use of by-elections and local elections as evidence of growing support/'victories', that poo poo is ridiculous to hear from JC himself. Also not why Smith didn't directly criticise the (widely recognised) lack of an effective media strategy etc. Jeremy by contrast was mostly pretty cool, good on his policy detail. I wish he had been so clear for the last 9 months. My god though that audience was loving embarrassing. El Grillo fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Aug 4, 2016 |

But the truth can be liberating.

Also I know nobody likes the D word, but the Labour right should probably consider that Jeremy Corbyn will continue to be prominent in the party until MPs that aren't totally hated by their CLPs make up the bulk of the party. There's really only one way you get there from here.

To be fair to Owen Smith (And I don't have to be), he is in a pretty unenviable position if you were in his shoes. Corbyn doesn't do personal attacks, so if Owen Smith attacks him he looks like an utter dick. Unfortunately he can't attack Corbyn's policies either, because the Labour Members quite like those too. Which means he's left with trying to personally attack Corbyn in a way that doesn't make it look like he's doing it and trying to be more Corbyn than Corbyn himself when it comes to policies. I think he's doing the best he can with that hand and it isn't a terrible showing from the guy all things considered. But Corbyn wasn't unpopular with the membership when this started and his politics weren't unpopular either, so this was never winnable for Smith. Also since I don't have to be fair to the guy, I can point out he's a loving idiot for trying this when the deck was so clearly stacked against him.
