See Boz. See Boz vent. Vent, Boz, vent!
Dear Makers of Pasta Packets,
What is the point of supplying a handy-dandy strip of tape to reseal the bag if you make the bag so damn difficult to open in the first place that you can't actually do so without ripping it to shreds and thus rendering it impossible to reseal it at all?
No love,
Nen (who is indeed sounding rather like Basil Fawlty right now and doesn't care)
Dear People Who Make Icons About American TV Shows,
"The Office" was a very funny British show that was on a few years back, made the lead actors rather well known, was aired on BBC America and developed a bit of a cult following in the US (and it was a run away smash hit here), and indeed won a couple of Golden Globes.
Then the idea was remade and set in an American office and we all shook our heads and bit our nails and wondered if it would end up being much like the American remakes of 'One Foot In The Grave' and 'Fawlty Towers' (seriously - how could you even CONSIDER re-making 'Fawlty Towers'?!). While I understand that it has become something of a success and that it too is called 'The Office', any quotes, icons or the rest simply labelled 'The Office' without clarifying that you actually mean 'The American Remake of The Office' just leads to confusion and much irritation.
Your icons are NOT of 'The Office'. They are of 'The Office (US).' Please to be labelling them correctly.
Yours, in a suitably jingoistic mood,
Nen
To Whom It May Concern,
Where do all my teaspoons go? I can only assume they get sucked into that same weird vortex that eats socks. I swear I must have bought at least twenty-five teaspoons since I got married and yet we never ever seem to have more than six at any one time and often not even that.
Yours in utter confusion,
Nen
DearThieving Gits Injury Lawyers Company,
You have surpassed yourselves with your latest advert (the woman speaking very seriously and aggressively in 'bits' that are then cut together to try and make it seem like she's smoothly saying a whole sentence but instead makes it look like she was made to speak the sentence in bits so they could then cut it together to make a complete hash of making it seem like she's saying a whole sentence; the one where she does some boxing training - to indicate how tough she is on the bad guys - inbetween seeing people at her swanky office).
I have only seen it three times and have taken an instant dislike to it whereby even by the second time of seeing it it had my palms itching in that way that means if there had been a housebrick near to hand it would have landed in the television screen.
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO MAKE AN ADVERT THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU WANT TO SMACK THE DIRECTOR AND INVITE THE 'ACTRESS' (I use the term loosely, you understand) TO CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE CAREER?!
So bad. So, so, SO bad.
No love, even on the end of a ten foot pole with bells on,
Nen
