Me-me-me-me-me miss! I remember it too - but since we'd had an
Italian au pair I knew about pasta, olive oil, extra v of that
ilk, and other things besides, and we had a giggle, and didn't
expect anyone would be fooled.

In that, we were fooled...

Yep some were of course !

I still molish a mean risotto more-or-less to her recipe.

Mmmmmmm :)

I think we have to test that one. What say you, Val?

I say YES! ;) recipe please Rusty g

Well yes, a recipe would be grand, but shirley we must test it from
the hands of the master chef?

How's your broadband?

On dial up pro tem. Will be with Broadband over Easter:)

Then disconnect the computer from your router, place end of router cable
into 2 litre container, and wait...

WARNING!

This method will not work with wireless routers.

Roll on Easter then :D

Well, it will be only for a few days, and then back to dialup for a while
again:(

Will let you know though:)

With a mobile broadbean dongle you can do dial-up speeds more-or-less
wherever you are, and if you're lucky, broadbean speeds.

Cost is slightly shy of £40 for the dongle, and thereafter (IIRC) £15
for a gigabyte of up/downloads, rolled-over month to month. (Vodafone -
but others will have similar terms.)

Since I take at least three months or so to use a gig, this is very economic.

Already have that thanks:)) Speed is determined by your location!

Air to begin with, but assuming a proper cable (known as 'widepipe'),
this will be displaced by the risotto as it is downloaded.

The message

/mobile broadbean/

I pay £25 per month for 5gb

ATM I pay (Vogonfone) £15 per 3-Gig/month

Mis-sold it by Phones4U, who told me the fast broadbean would be through
to my local beacon in three months.

A year later and Vogonfone even have no date.

So, they are getting their contract dongle back, and to replace it I've
bought a PAYG one.

Yes. What else would you use a mobile broadbean connection for?

Why not?

Contract dongle = 3 Gig for £15-ish per month.
No rollover.
But I don't use even a gig a month. Usually about half that.

PAYG dongle = 1 Gig for £15, rollover for ever, so long as I don't
forget to use it once in 60 days. (Fat chance!)

So, 2-3 months on PAYG for the same price as one month on contract.
