For those who haven't seen them, there are a few photographs and videos of snow on Skiathos today on the Old Boomerangers and Skiathos Lovers Facebook pages. Apparently they have also had a power cut! Ah the joys!

I was thinking that myself, but I see that he has been logging on. Maybe he just hasn't got anything to say! I nearly managed to type that without laughing!  Bob |

I'm still here. Which subject would you like me to start on... (would be a bit Off Topic for winter wonderland or anything else to do with Skiathos).
Getting rid of my last tooth (2 hours to deadline).
Trying (vainly) to get Vodafone to sort out my phone contract (5 3/4 hours on the phone so far and counting).

OK, I'm back home, poorer by £75 and one (my very last) tooth. Now I can spend the rest of the day feeling sorry for myself. I'm also in just the right mood of mega grumpy to try Vodafone again, except I can't speak so they're lucky for the rest of today. Never mind, I shall no doubt still have enough grump about me tomorrow to have a go at them.

Good luck with that Dennis. Vodaphone don't have a great reputation for customer service, so I hope you are successful.

You are obviously very unsympathetic to callers, not ladylike at all.
I prefer to be cooperative. The last one called about a survey.
"You are Mr xxx xxx"
Am I?
"You live at xx xxxxxx road."
Do I?
"Are you male or female?"
Yes.
"No, are you male or female?"
Yes. I already answered that.
"No. Are you a man or a woman?"
Yes.
Etc. LOL
The previous one was calling about my home computer. I asked which one and he said your home computer. I said I know that, but which computer are you calling about. That went on for some time - I wasn't about to tell him that I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro and a Windows Laptop, let him tell me what the computer random number dialler had told him. A friend of mine who is very computer savvy, records them and publishes them on u-tube - he lets them tell him buttons to press, carefully presses something which doesn't give the right result and has so far achieved a record of about 23 minutes before they eventually gave up in despair.
I hold the policy of keeping them going for as long as I can - they've just wasted their own time and haven't been able to bother somebody else. Vera just curses them and hangs up, but that makes it too easy for them to start on somebody else.
