Months, well it feels like months, since I watched a very interesting video (in RealPlayer – remember that?) on BBC News about a company offering super-duper-fast broadband via fibre via sewers, its been announced that Bournemouth will be the first town in the UK to benefit from what I think is a geeeeenius idea. £30m down the drain to connect council offices (they always get in there first don’t they) and residential properties within two-and-a-half years to 100mbit/s pipes. Whoopee! No details on pricing yet, but how amazing would that be?!

On a side note, I broke the toilet seat yesterday and today I’m replacing taps. andyautomatic – your one stop shop for plumbing related news stories.
