Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.
Why am I trying it out anyway?
The PS2 forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.
Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest PS2 game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.
As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)
Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

Well by the sound of it, I'm glad I'm not buying a new house. Saying that my mate has a new house, well he's been in there for almost 5 years and he's still having problems with it!

I will bear than in mind, if I get the phone as well from BT and use Sky for the cheap calls, it might work out all okay in the end.

It is one of the terms in the contract I signed at exchange along with the usual about not running a business, not storing a caravan etc. I would be suprised if they tried to enforce it but ....
One of my mates bought a house and one of the clauses specified the colour that you could paint the garage door, I guess the builder/developer are trying to keep the estate looking as same as possible until at least they have sold all the other houses on the development (could be another 2 years or so). Another clause is that I cannot do any developments to the external part of the property for at 5 years without there permission, which I have already got for the conservatory.

Good idea about collecting it from the depot. Thanks, I'll bear that in mind.

Yeh, nut with someone else fronting it, you have more chance of getting a straight answer, make that any answer.
The real fun will be installing Sky+ as my contract with the builder forbides me to have a dish on the side of the house, cannot see that I will be the only one though.

If they drop a card through the door, call them and tell them not to try to deliver and you'll pickup from the depot.
BB - I've been told that the ADSL router (higher grade and more money of course) is easier to set up then the external modem that I was waiting to order.
I've ended up ordering it now (yippee), as the company is paying for it.
This should prove to be fun. According to the order conf. it will be arriving at my house by carrier. I hope the carriers work long hours or will accept a re-direct to the office otherwise I'm doomed to stay on dial-up.

Ah but my boss is really cool and laid back so him being here isn't a PITA, he should be back tomorrow as long as the pain killers are working.

Back again, sorry to hear about your boss Jive, wish mine would be off for a while make it a whole lot easier around here.
Sorry to hear about your broadband problem Sleepy, but as I do not have a connection at home at the mo, cannot give you too much sympathy. Once I get the new house I will be up and running, will probably have to deal with BT though :(
