Can't take it any longer… cracking up under the pressure… the PSNetwork hasn't been working for nearly three weeks… need to play online… can't live without it… starved of Sony goodness… can't keep going.

My brother just laughs every time I try to log on and get the same crappy message telling me that the online service is down… I pay good money for that service… well my Mum does… I'm not old enough to have a credit card yet… the bank won't let me have one for a childrens saver account.

He's started using the phrase "PSNotwork" because he knows it winds me up… he's nothing but a big meany and I hate him.

He offered to let me play online with him but I refused… partly because I don't want to be seen as a traitor… partly because the control pad is too big for my hands… that's one of the good things about a Dualshock pad… it's made for kids so it's much smaller.

My mum asked me why I wasn't playing online very much but I just mumbled something about there not being anything I wanted to play online, she then asked if I knew anything about a purchase that had been made on her credit card in Hawaii but I pretended I didn't know.

It really hurts not playing online… almost as much as when my last PS3 turned into a brick from a dodgy firmware update… my brother says I ought to try and sue Sony for failing to deliver a paid off service but I wouldn't do that… Sony are great.

I bet it's that nasty man George who did it… Sony should go round his house and give them a good kicking… then they should make him stop doing bad things on his PC… then everything will be up and running again.

Why won't it start working… Sony are ace at everything… surely they should have got it back working by now.
