Re: and FTI Consulting

That seems exactly what FTI Consulting expect the former 2e2 employees to do. Perhaps insolvency firms should be paid as creditors also.

Re: If you want the benefits of city living...

All right then, you do realise that urban living is heavily subsidised.

Question to those of you complaining about rural broadband. How willing would you be to pay the true cost of things like food, water and electricity etc?

Keep in mind that a lot of the funding is specifically earmarked for rural areas but BT are exaggerating the cost and using the remainder to subsidy their city rollouts. I believe The Register even did a story on it at one point.

I'm sure many community fibre projects could do a lot more with the equivalent money awarded to BT.

They removed or deleted my favourite review.

"I bought this toy for my son, and he initially seemed quite pleased with it. However, one day he asked me how much the Olympics cost, and I told him that it'd be upwards of £10bn. He commented, 'that's really expensive!' I was about to agree when the figurine produced a water cannon and blasted my son into a wall. He then proceeded to pelt my son with baton rounds while screaming 'HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE SANCTITY OF OUR GLORIOUS OLYMPICS?'

At this point my son was quite dead, and I was understandably upset. Adrian Chiles then came into my living room and started berating my dead son for daring to question the Olympics. It's my understanding that the figurine also filmed all this with his camera eye.

Despite all this the protective case adds a touch of class and the mascot had provided for hours of fun before.

In conclusion I cannot recommend this product as it kills children and summons Adrian Chiles."

Glad to see sexual assault and rape are such a laughing matter. I wonder what would happen if the genders were reversed in this situation.
