It would have to have been "Can't this thing go any faster?"

Yeah most of QLD lost internet for 12 hours on Friday because someone dug up the line. I would not have liked to have done it and have had to face my boss.

Years ago I was working on bridge for a freeway extension. The large cable ducts (16 if I remember correctly) run down the middle of South street to Fremantle then off into the ocean. Problem was we had to put three big footings on top of them so it was decided to move them across to one side a bit at a time to minimise disruption. When the day came to expose the cables there were bigwigs everywhere (telecom, main roads, hornibrook you name it). After much sampling and messing around with plans and detection gadgets the excavator operator was told to "dig here". Second bucket was full of cables and wire . You had to be there to appreciate the caos that followed as a very large proportion of Perth's communication had been lost. I have never seen so much finger pointing in my life . Glad I was only an observer.

leinad, you stole my thunder.
The second message would have been, "got pix?"

First message over the internet? I reckon it would have been along the lines of "you can save $nn a year by bundling your home phone, etc, all together with us"
