I recently moved abroad and had to take care of a lot of things to get it done. I had to change the address on my bank account to a p.o. box, but I discovered when I tried to charge something overseas that it hadn't been done. I needed to do an address change for the post office also. A neighbor e-mailed weeks later and said they found a piece of mail for me the new occupants of my old apartment had left for the mailman to take back. It was a check I was expecting. I had to get a report from a government agency stating that I have no criminal record. I filled out the app, paid 65 dollars and it never came. On the phone there was no way to talk to a human about the missing report. I left seven messages in two weeks and was never called back. In desperation, because I could not move without this report, I did the process again. And did not get the report. My only option was to rent a car, because I had already sold mine preparing to move, and drive all the way to the State capital and walk up and down the damn corridors until I could see someone in person. It goes on. For work purposes, I set up a proxy server in the U.S. and instead of "no discernible" drop in connectivity, my download and upload speeds dropped by 90%. I could go on and on, but the point is, moving required me to deal with some of the most basic agencies in the U.S., and not one of them succeeded in their jobs. In fact, most didn't even try. That really, really annoyed me, but more than that, I got a frightening up close look at the dry rot inside the big oak.

Right now PARTY POKER pop-ups, go away you money sucking web-crawling parasites. I mostly just ignore pop-ups and treat them like ant-shit as they go largely unnoticed, but those blighters are everywhere like 118 TV adverts.

DVD's with warnings about piracy and certain death if you are caught and disclaimers to the weak minded easily offended politely telling them not to sue if the film upsets them.
Also some films have such elaborate DVD intros that run for bloody ages and you can't fast forward over them. So i nip out for a cupper or even paint the bedroom while the titles run. ooooh irritating. |

On other hand this issue, faking telephone call, is handy. On rush-hour when entering over-crowded train, metro or bus you can easily find free space to sit when saying following line to your cellphone, with loud enough voice: "Yeah, I know It`s illegal but I think that we will not get caught." I don`t live in city, but this kind of noise terror is everywhere. Few years ago I sat on the ice of very big lake, did some winterfishing, no-one around, just this huge lake and big clear space. I closed my eyes, enjoyed silence, until I heard some old-timer speaked into his phone on the shore, almost in horizon. He "ruined" my zen-esque meditative moment!

Adverts that say "buy this thing, for just TWO NINE NINE" or whatever price. I find it irritating that someone somewhere decided that we don't deal in currency anymore, simply numbers. Its two hundred and ninety nine pounds, if you don't mind.

Dr Christian Jessen
He of "Embarrassing Bodies " fame ! That show where people supposedly too timid to speak to their own doctor in a private room about their embarrassing health problems ,find it easier to do so in a set surrounded by crew who are filming them for a program which will then be shown and repeated to the rest of the world add nauseating nauseum If anyones ever wondered how much these flange`s (I created a replacement swear word there for my original, in fact it was of such harshness i shudder to even think of it myself) get paid to bare their bits ?,it`s actually two hundred pounds worth of vouchers for the high street store of their choice.I know this because a friend of mine works in production , of course she hates the show to just like me but hey works work Anyway none of this would matter or be important except yesterday afternoon the council for some reason cut back the formerly huge branches of a tree from across the street , hurting the tree no end i`m sure but worse revealing the previously hidden bill board behind it This one in fact So now for the foreseeable future i have to see that dweebs smugly ugly mug , now that`s annoying

Remarkable as well how low the price was for parading yourself to the world in Embarressing Bodies. I remember the trial scene in the wonderful Paul Scholefield film A Man For All Seasons, where Sir Thomas More is ratted out in false witness by the John Hurt character. Sir Thomas More mildly asks what the new chain is around the Hurt character's neck and is told that it is the badge of office of Secretary of State for Wales, to which office he has only just been elevated (payment for his false testimony). More: What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? But for Wales, however... The medical and cosmetic problems on Embarressing Bodies are real and sometimes really serious and of course the unfortunate people should come forward and of course they should have the best treatment available. But I thought we had GPs, hospitals and an NHS for that sort of thing. There's no valid reason for doing it on TV for the rest of the world to be entertained. |

Automatic air-freshner dispensers in office toilets where the perfume it puts out is so powerful, it makes you want to puke more than the bad curry you just dropped.
