Going to post this unedited just to make sure you get it; then I’ll fix it if I’m still here.
Woke up early this morning feeling horrible: D-Day* had arrived; or, more accurately, RCT-Day**.
*Dentist Day
**Root Canal Treatment Day. Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it, does it?
Turned to my beloved internet for comfort, only to find that the internet had disappeared. It didn’t work on any of the four computers, three phones and two consoles I tried.
Quickly kicked the Hub out of bed to investigate. Investigations turned up the fact that the internet had disappeared.
Hub called Virgin.
Virgin said, ‘Can’t come ’til Thursday.’
Hub said, ‘But my wife will kill me.’
Virgin said, ‘Can’t come ’til Thursday.’
Hub sent Spud to tell me the bad news.
Hub lives; but only because I can’t find him.
Went to dentist.
Came home.
Internet back on; Hub lives to quake another day.
Internet may not stay on, so please bear with me.

I do hope that you have recovered from the dentist..root canal filling…not a joyful prospect!
If I were you I’d threaten Virgin with the idea that you are going to another supplier
what a load of tosh not being ableto come till Thursday, cutting off a person’s lifeline like that…
Wicked, isn’t it?
You poor thing, forget about the Internet, stay in bed and rest. I have an irrational fear of the root canal, never had one but I fear it like crazy. Tomorrow will be a better day.
Don’t be afraid. It is unpleasant but bearable, like a pap smear.
how was the dentist visit?
Details in today’s post
So glad you translated your alphabet soup for me!
Over here, when you mention D-Day and proceed to something RC . . . the mind naturally goes to Royal Canadian . . . WHAT?!
Why not sic your dentist on Virgin. That oughta work.
Ooh, good thinking!
Wishing you all the connectivity and ibuprofen in the world.
I’ve never had a sweeter comment
Thank you 
Aw, no internet and major dentist work, such a bad day! Feeling for you. I have broken technology and a missing wisdom tooth.
You poor creature!
Ouch … no internet is a special type of pain that only someone facing an imminent dentist appointment can fully appreciate.
Mind you I’m still reeling from the shock that you have four computers, three phones and two consoles … I’m starting to feel seriously disconnected!
I’d rather have RCT than lose the internet any day (and I’ve had a fair few,) but of course it was a good dentist – why do you think I married him?
He has his uses
It’s less than it was before Tory Boy moved out
We would all give up television before our computers.
But how did the dentist go?
I think he put on his coat, turned off the light, and stepped through the door.
I bet you’re so glad that’s over, Tilly. I saw on your link, that the treatment should last forever.
So glad for hubby’s sake, that your internet was restored. 
Another reader siding with the Hub. What’s with you people?
Hate the dentist…hope all went well, my friend!! =D
The poor dentist! Please don’t hate him
I am grateful for dentists, believe me; or I really would be dead, with this mouth.
So frustrating, Tilly! I hope the problems are well and truly sorted out now…
Seems to be okay, but we haven’t cancelled the appointment, just in case.
Tell me more about this “virgin”.
You know, Al…I don’t know…you are a naughty boy…
same dilemna here! one minute I have access, the next…..gone. But, but….always have been able to log on to Facebook. I smell a conspiracy……and I don’t “like” it.
To be fair, we haven’t had many problems over the years. I shouldn’t complain but if you cut me off, I will – loud and long.
The best part about going to the dentist is lying in those marvellous chairs. Hope it went well and you haven’t lost much Malteser time
You’re a day behind!
And thanks
Glad he lived and so did you… to get that tooth fixed.
