UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US pt 1

WISDOM OF BURZUM

"It's very hard to recognise the truth when you are bombarded by lies all the time.

You are bombarded my commercials and completely senseless information every single day.

You turn on the TV, you turn your head, read magazines, senseless information, the news are themselves products being sold.

The truth is out there to be found, but in a sea of lies, it's just impossible to find it. Unless you know where to look, how to look and when to look.

Of course it's not possible to get up in the morning and say - OK, I'm gonna find the truth this day. You have to try and fail and eventually you will weed out all the lies and at least come up with something similar to the truth.

The truth is hidden under grass, under some rocks in a forgotten trail in the forest and hwn you try to find these trails you will stumble, you wil get branches in your face, you'll make mistakes before you finally find it..." - Varg Vikernes

COMHEM....FUCK OFF! (part 2)

Continuing my rant at possibly Sweden's worst company and customer services...COMHEM. My mind boggles at really how useless and worthless a customer services can be. I think this is them...

Those that read my post a few days ago might have seen that I got a reply from ComHem, and I asked some more questions that have gone unanswered. Pretty normal practice there.

I am in a debate with them now, it has taken me more than a week and several people (heaven forbid the same person would deal with your problem...jeez they might know what you're talking about) to come up with nothing of any help at all.

So here is the conversation in short.

ME: Gotta quit my broadband, I've been kicked out of that house and am moving country.

COMHEM: You can let someone else take over the contract or pay it off until next year at 50% (*I'll point out that CONHEM don't make you sign a contract, you do it all over the phone, so if this was ever in a written contract, I never saw it and didn't sign it, it's just one of their clauses that you don't find out about until you can't do anything about it)

ME: Can't really do that can I? I am not in the country and have been made homeless, it wasn't my choice and it's kind of an emergency situation.

COMHEM: Tough, this is all you can do.

ME: But how can I do that, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?

COMHEM: We can't change our terms.

ME: OK, can I speak to someone higher up then? This is sort of unfair, unpractical and kind of impossible.

COMHEM: We have you agreeing to a recorded contract (*they send it to me and it's a guy speaking really fast and I'm not even sure what I was agreeing to. I'm quite sure this is a trick of theirs)

ME: OK, so I am forced to speak to my ex and she will take over the contract

COMHEM: OK, we have sent a form for you both to fill in.

ME: I am not in the country, how do I fill it in?

COMHEM: You both have to fill it in.

ME: OK...any suggestions on how to do this?

COMHEM: You both have to fill it in.

ME: OK but how? Do you have any suggestions?

COMHEM: Our suggestion was that you hand the contract over to someone else...

So as you can see, customer service, service my ass! No help at all, and I will point out again that these answers are over a week or so and came from different people, so it's not even the same person.

CDON.COM, another Swedish company have the best customer service ever. No matter what happens you can rely on them to help you, sort out your problems and fix everything. Not just have some monkey read from a list.

If you live in Sweden and are in a house with Comhem but want to avoid THE WORST COMPANY IN SWEDEN I would suggest looking at the following webpage:

http://www.mobiltbredband.net/

Here you have mobile broadband offers and price comparisons from:

TELENOR

TELIA

NET1

TELE2

HALEBOP

All of these companies have mobile broadband from 199:- a month and some you can have for up to as little as a week. All have much better conditions and terms and don not have a customer service whose main job it is to wind you up.

Choose these over COMHEM because they really are the worst company in Sweden...

Gatans Lag at Viva

It was the debut night for the new punk club "Club Outcast" in Borås last night - and what a night it was. We started the night, me and 'arr lad Kristoffer by having a few beers and listening to dad-rock at my place before venturing out to the club, not before fixing us up the guestlist mind you.

If I had to came up with a bad point about the night it would have been the 100:- entrance fee plus the extra 20:- to hang up your jacket. But since we didn't pay, that's all good.

It was a bit of a whos who of the Borås punk scene/bands with many people there crawling out of the woodwork for the show.

The Strung Ups kicked off with their punk rock ravishings. Not a band I have heard before and despite having a very docile stage pressence they were not at all bad, enjoyed them very much and will look out for them in the future.

The band of the night were of course Gatans Lag - fist raising street punk/oi with a whole bunch od different band members doing different things, bit of sax and fem-vox thrown in and it was a superb show, the audience barrier being a complete waste of time.

Great club and great opening night, I think I walked round with a big grin just because this was happening in Borås. I'd like to see it again soon but as I know the owners of Viva, I don't think he will be super happy over the amount of "fights" and broken glass/broken furniture from that night.

You see, some people think that to be punk you have to break things and disrespect everything. How smart is it to abuse the place that is providing you with your music and scene eh? Anyway, great fun night, well done Club Outcast - come back soon!

COMHEM, COMHEM, COMHEM...FUCK OFF!!!!

COMHEM is a Swedish internet and TV company that have the best adverts on the TV that there is.

Sadly their customer service and company can fuck off and die because it's the biggest bag of shit I have ever had to deal with.

In Sweden sometimes in an apartment you have to go with the internet company that supplies to that house (so sadly there is little competition on price etc) - in 2005 when I had a place in Stockholm I used Comhem because there was no other choice.

The introductory price wasn't so band but when the bill came it was a different sum (more than twice the amount) to advertised...why was that, just 'cos.

The internet speed was worse than ever so I was forced to upgrade if I wanted to be able to at least not spend 24 hours trying to open up my email.

Years later when I moved I took my broadband with me, the one week it took to set up turned into three weeks.

Again they had an offer that you could use a certain speed for a certain time for a certain price....which was faster and cheaper than the one I already had.

Later I ordered their digital TV package as well. The box came but didn't work. Countless phone calls to countless customer service operators and technical support couldn't explain to us why it wasn't working. In the end they said they would send someone out.

Weeks turned into months and no one came. In the end we looked at it and figured it out. And so we had digital TV which is a bit like this.

*FILM CHANNEL - Nothing you want to see or have not already seen, 5 times a day for a week

*SCI FI CHANNEL - The same episode of Dr.Who 15 times a day, for a week

*COMEDY CHANNEL - Two & a Half Men, same episode, 15 times a day for a week.

*MTV - Re-Runs of Jackass, Wildboys, Viva La Bam and Dirty Sanchez, 10 times a day, for a week

...and so on. In the end we just unplugged the box as there was nothing on to watch, nothing at all, just the same rolling repeats of old stuff you have already seem, 15 times a day.

Few months ago I was kicked out of my apartment and made homeless...I of course can't use the broadband from Comhem...but apparently I am signed on until 2011 (I don't remember agreeing to that at all?)

My choices - either find someone else to take over the contract or pay up. WTF?

So my message to all of you today in Sweden....fuck Comhem in their stupid asses,don't use them they are shit, terrible and you'll be stuck to them until the day you die paying for their shitty services.

Much better to use one of the new Mobile Broadband modem things, then at least you have a choice.

Comhem...fuck off!

I CAN'T SEE OUT OF THIS THING!

Oh blog,how I have missed you...but I am back, back in black...or at least cammo, and maybe some blue stripes and red bits, actually my underwear is orange but anyway...back in some sort of colour.

Well, what's been happening. I've been dragged by my hair through a bush and into hell and back where I was left to hang out with a bunch of demons poking me for ages and then thought "actually, fuck this!" And left for Villastan.

So...back to blogging and today I am going to be racist.

Yes, you heard me...sign me up for SD and the BMP, skinhead skinhead, gettin' really pissed!

Well, maybe not that bad but...I am gonna have a go at women who wear a burqa.

I have been doing a study on women with a burqa, and at first I thought it was just a few but I have noticed that it is 99.9% of them. And this theory of mine has of course it's roots in logic but I think that this burqa ruins all of their vision apart from what is directly in front of them, even the ones that a just a round-the-head job.

I have noticed that these women seem completely unaware of their surroundings and when walking tend to look left, right, up and down giving them only a 20% chance of seeing things right in front of their faces. Next time you see one walking along have a look and see how often they look forward, it's like...never!

To compensate for this, when walking in large groups I think they need to get an overall scan of the area so instead of walking in a normal way they will walk side by side taking up as much room as possible, of course looking all round them apart from forward. I believe this to be a result of having the head and sometimes the sides of the eyes covered but it doesn't really work does it? Better however than your average older Swedish lady who feels the need to stop walking and talk if they need to, usually in doorways, on the way to trains, basically anywhere where they can get in the way. Oh and especially if in a shop with a long line behind them.

The other thing about the burqa is it must be a bit like when first wearing a walkman for the first time where you talk louder because you can't hear your own voice. It's not a racist comment, just my observation over the weeks/months. This seems even more so when on the phone.

So...my advice, a mesh one! Or a mirrored one, or one with side mirrors and ear holes.I'd make a mint!

Dear Blog...

...Sorry I haven't been here for a while.

I promise that once I'm back up on my feet I'll be here again!

When I get back from hell again I'm gonna be so elegant the relevance of my benevolance is evident!

IT'S BEEN A WHILE...

Just found this wonderful picture up at MEME BASE - certainly helped to brighten my day! The wonderful Kissie - part woman part plastic....all stupid!
