I phoned up AOL today and told him straight up that i want an internet, some english guy answered with one of those english accents you know the kind that annoy you.He mumbles and laughs then he asks if he can have my telephone number and address but he never told me who he was so i could end up getting funny phone calls to him so better to be on the safe side.Then he starts asking what kind of software i have so i tell him it's a zx81 and then he laughs for like 5 minutes then he puts another gay on and he says the same thing so i tell him fine i'll just use my sega mega drive for a internet and then he just laughs.
I would have gave him my phone number and that but i don't want to give strange peaple with computers my number until i know what kind of service i'm getting..
The guy wouldn't tell me how much a internet is and i was also not offered the 1000 hours free trial..

All i got is aload of cheeky nonsense and it's not on.
He did say he doesn't sell the internet but he sells access to the internet which quite frankly is false advertising couse they don't even have any internets.

Anyway what kind of stuff can you get on a internet?.

Does anyone know where i can get one about also, i just don't want to go through this again.

Hold on now the good did actually did tell me how much a internet was and he said it was a fiver although then he said i have to go down to the barrys in glasgow which is a trampish market place so i think the guy was that daft that he thought i came from glasgow.

I'll try woolworths tommorow see if they have any internets couse a want one quick.

What in the world were you doing calling AOL asking for an internet? Were you that bored? :confused:

I hear this place called WHT can keep you entertained for hours at a time if you read through all the conversations. ;)
