Arrietty's Comments...(revised June 2009)

What makes me mad...?
Having to fill in a form to buy a portable DVD player, so 'they' can check if I have a TV licence. WHAT? What's a TV licence got to do with it?
The way Powergen and TV licensing write such nasty reminder letters, full of threats and designed to frighten people. I have told TV licensing that 231 is unoccupied, more than once, but now, oh dear, my details have been passed on to the enforcement section. Well, maybe if they visit, they will see that nobody is receiving TV progs.
And NOW, we have to buy a TV licence for the caravan unless we can declare that we never receive TV there and here at the same time. Which we can't declare, honestly... We would only be there for maybe 6 weeks during a year. But I don't want a criminal record so will have to get one. I guess if I were an MP i could claim for the second one on my expenses....
Heart radio is advertising an album of the best 'feelgood' tracks - the album is called 'Heartbreakers'. Helloooo, feelgood? Heartbreakers? something not quite right there..
If I want new number plates for my car, I have to take all sorts of documents in to prove who I am, and that the car is mine etc.... I am sure car thieves make their own false plates anyway, and don't go to McGanns for them...so how would this prevent crime?

 

What makes me happy...

What makes me cross, or sad...
in no particular order
My Family Cars parked on the pavement
My Friends Gordon Brown and his government
My beautiful puppy Other peoples' litter in my garden
Birdsong Being passed from pillar to post when I just want to get something sorted
Daffodils People not doing their jobs properly
Books People not taking responsibility for what they do or don't do
My caravan When I mess things up
Smallville and Superman, X-Men and Hogwarts, Supernatural and Dean Winchester When I lose stuff
The English Language and wonderful words Intolerance (ha!)
When nothing nasty comes in the post Level crossings
My car Lonely people
Burning old papers in the garden Insect bites that itch for days
Spring flowers Accountants and tax
Missing my Mum
Missing my sister
When something nasty comes in the post

 

I read that Wendy Craig has a love child. So what? I have two. That expression really annoys me...

Yea, all town taxis now have correct signs on their roofs - Advance bookings only ... I complained more than once to the Borough Council and now the taxis go around with a little gap where the extra D used to be. (Advanced) Check me out!
Rosie Webster (Corrie) is comedy genius at the moment, spending £3000 on a handbag? Her attitude is so funny
The radio news this morning told me that a woman who is having surrogate babies for Sarah Jessica Parker has had her home broken into... and that is news, why?
