I receive a note to say that they couldn’t deliver something ‘recorded delivery’ as it needs a signature. As it happens, I know this particular item does require a signature so I’m impressed with their protocol. I wait the requisite 48 hours and go and collect it this morning…

..they can’t find it.

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I thought ‘recorded’ meant that the item was….’recorded’?

Or am I just being logical again?

…chuckleheads. 🙁

I HATE people who don’t indicate! Or, just as bad – people who indicate once they get to the turning point/roundabout.
AAARGH!

Oh, don’t worry mate – I’m bl**dy clairvoyant!!!

I spent about four hours today going through half a dozen books on archaeology that I got out of the Robinson Library…the length of time this took had more to do with the fact that it was difficult to read them.

What possesses people to deface a book that belongs to a library? Especially in a University – surely it’s adults who borrow them?

Yes, I highlight and make notes in margins when I’m studying…but that’s because the books are bought and paid for by me!!

I wouldn’t dream of even using pencil and then erasing the marks – IF THE BOOK DOESN’T BELONG TO ME!

Why doesn’t the library flick through the books on return and then check who had them out last?.

It’s not good. 🙁

I used to really enjoy going to the cinema, but now I’m lucky if I don’t have someone kicking the back of my chair, or talking throughout the entire movie, or checking their mobile phone in front of me so that I end up blinded every 2 minutes. When I was younger I wouldn’t dare disrupt someone’s viewing pleasure, it would be more than my life was worth where my parents were concerned. Not only that, in my day (cue violin!), the cinema would have a member of staff in the auditorium who would glare at you the moment you stepped out of line!!!!

Now cinemas don’t have any staff in there – not even the pre-pubescent oiks!!

It’s really sad because going to the cinema use to be such a wonderful experience, now, no matter how much I like the movie, I usually can’t wait to leave. 🙁

If I ever have kids, I’m going to have them ‘bound and gagged’ until they learn how to behave in a cinema. Kids now just wander in, sit down and then fling their legs across the seats in front… aaargh! it just makes me want to break them!

Anyway, I’ve had my ‘Victor Meldrew’ moment. If I’m ever up on a charge for breaking someone’s legs, you know why.
