Royal Mail Special delivery
I just wanted to tell people my experiences with the Royal Mail Special Delivery service as I think it’s failing like a lot of the Royal Mail services at the moment. The track and trace service for the Special Delivery on the net is almost useless as 9/10 times it comes up with 'Sorry we cannot trace this item at this time…

Council Tax & Court Summons
I received a court summons today for non-payment of Council Tax. The amount I had owing was £21.10 apparently from the first 2 weeks of the tenancy last July.

Renault and passenger airbags
I'm due to have a baby in 3 weeks and drive a 2 yr old Renault Laguna with around 300 airbags. Well, maybe not quite that many but it does have quite a few! So the plan was to contact my Renault dealer to get the front passenger airbag disabled so that it would be safe for new baby to travel in the front. Now I know people…

BBC TV Licence fee (Freeview)
I live less than 10 miles from the capital city and yet can't get Freeview. I get so fed up with adverts telling me how wonderful it all is. I want it but can't get it unless I subscribe to SKY (no way would I give money to an Aussie who lives in America and wants to f** Britain over). I can only get BBC 1, 2, ITV and S4C.…

Most Annoying Things In Life
Mine are: 1) Victoria Beckham (plus David, in her company) 2) Boybands 3) Crap Films 4) People who put a question mark on the end of every statement they make (you know the ones, they go "up" at the end- as if asking a question... as though they live in USA 5) Americans!
