Gaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhh MK IV!

[Lady Ava]

Bank decided to help themselves to £80 of my money on 'unpaid items' which is not even almost true, and so I've had to ring them. I've got it sorted and refunded, but it's annoyed me no end.

[Capt. Dirigible]

The guy left his number in a note so she rang him. He sounds about 18..has an African name and has no insurance!! He offered her £3000 cash to pay for it but that won't get her a car  in time for her to drive the 30 miles to work on Monday or get her the 80 miles home to where she lives. Besides..if this guy can lay his hands on £3000 just like that..well where's it coming from? Can you believe he actually asked for her banking details to deposit it!!!

Following on from this The Countess has been speaking to the police and she's been told that this could all been part of a scam. Apparently it works like this.. Uninsured driver hits parked car and leaves a mobile phone number. Irate car owner phones  and discovers culprit has no insurance. Culprit acts all concerned and remorseful saying they don't want the owner's No Claims Bonus to be affected and their premium to rise so they offer to pay for any damage. Relieved owner accepts offer and  (probably) asks for more than is actually needed. Culprit says ''no problem..let me have your banking details and I'll transfer it". Gullible owner  gives details..culprit cleans out bank account.

The whole thing is reliant on the owner being stupid enough to give out banking details over the phone to an anonymous person who's just wrecked their car but I  guess the scam relies on people being so relieved that the culprit is prepared to pay upfront and they don't  have to make a claim (and they can add a bit extra to the figure for their troubles) that sometimes it actually works.

The Countess is now extra p!ssed off that  she's had all this aggro and has to get a new car now not because of an accident but because her car might have been wrecked deliberately because of some half arsed scam that she's too smart to fall for anyway that's simply adding insult to injury!

[Flightless Phoenix]

It did sounds a tad suspicious, no wonder! That's just appalling on pretty much every level. I really hope the police catch them! Can the phone be traced? Did you find out about the CCTV footage?

Today I have 3 things to moan about =P

1. I applied for a job that would be exactly perfect right now, and I might not get it because I don't own a car. The position is for a ghost tour guide in Stratford-upon-Avon (yup that means dressing up and talking about dead things- which is actually my daily life...). The last tour finishes at 9.45 at night, my last train home is 10pm- I really hope that isn't a problem for them. If there is anyone out there who works in Stratford on Friday-Saturday nights and lives in Birmingham/Solihull, drop me a personal message? I'll pay petrol money!

2. It seems the love lives of all of my friends have imploded horribly this week and they've all run to me for advice. I don't mind helping them, of course I don't. I just really don't think I'm the best person to advise them- my own love life was in tatters a week ago! I don't know what to say to help =[

3. The reason I'm applying for jobs like crazy is because I'm horrifically poor all of a sudden and that's scary. I put the money I'll need for my PhD fees into an ISA and was surprised to find that what was left isn't enough to live on... I used to be good with money... I really don't know what happened.

Wasn't Santander was it ?

I wrote a £2000.00 cheque to them, for an ISA  that was cashed somehow , despite the rarity of my name ( I am the only person with it globally ) and being told by Santander they have no evidence of account .

 After much effort thanks to my inability to talk , I managed to get them ( My wretched bank of Scotland )  to try to trace it , but now their saying they have to give Santander full 8 wks to respond ( while in the meantime they get to hell )

bah

[Flightless Phoenix]

No it's not actually the bank's fault in my case- I just spent more money than I thought- It all adds up when I look at my statements sadly. I was just convinced that I was living fairly frugally... Nope! It's amazing how much money I've wasted on night's out etc. I don't even go out that often. Modern life is just expensive I guess!

I really hope you get your money back and quickly! Also It's pretty cool that no one else has the same name as you! There's a fairly famous UK artist who paints fairies that shares my name! I'd like to swap lives hehe- she has a really cool house on the Isle of Wight!

The  culprit did give a local address but I somehow think it is probably a fake. The Countess also had the registration of the car he hit hers with checked and it came back as reported stolen on May 5th. She will be checking with the Police this weekend to see what progress they've made as she wants this b*stard hung, drawn and quartered..but would settle for imprisonment. I think the only way we're likely to see the CCTV footage is if we watch 'Britain's Craziest Fools' or 'Police, Camera Action!'

so shit ...

Mum is in hospital.  She's always been a bit crazy (meaning always thinking that  my spouse, and my siblings spouses are out to get her) ... but now she's taken to hurting herself for attention.  After a back surgery she was given pain pills and one lead to several which led to several more (apparently, she would take one, forget and take another, etc).  The folk at the hospital are preparing to declare her as unable to care for herself any longer as her issue (see above spouse thing) has escalated to full tilt dementia.  Due to the hurting herself thing, she's done enough damage as to basically putting an end to her life in fairly short order.

Fortunately, my brother lives close enough that he may be able to bring her back with him.  If she puts up too much of a fight we may have to resort to a quite unpleasant legal or forceful path(she insists that she's fine ... it's just those spouses conspiring against her).  Although she has worked long to keep me and my siblings at odds, we've had that big nasty AHA moment that we've been duped - and have come together quite strong.  I guess there's a silver lining in every barrel of shit.

I'm really hoping that my bro can hold up in that I can't get there for several weeks, and my sister is on set at a production till July.

Time to blow something up, have a beer and some tacos, plant some garden, do my best to put all of this in the best possible perspective.  Still sucks though.  There now ... vented ... errr ... had to put this out there somehow.

 

p.s. ... Captain: I hope that the Countess gets her car sorted and gets the opportunity to feed the steaming entrails of those miscreants to the dogs.

I have a relative exactly like that. My family has been coming back together as she haa gotten crazier and we have realized that we cannot believe her. Hopefully your similar realization will bring you all back together as a stronger family.

I just realised that I am the gaaaaaaargggghhh-maker today: I was contacted by a tv company wanting to meet some of our local steampunks, so I let everyone know I would bring the tv lady to our weekly drinkies, whereupon I discover that no one, but no one, wants anythign to do with the media and have decamped the drinkies to a different bar to get away from me and her.

shit. i had no idea i would cause such a ruckus. had to cancel the whole shebang.

I've been discovering a new found appreciation for scientific advancements the last few day. I'm going to restart my blogs with a hope for the future theme. So I'm doing a lot of research...

and I just discovered this. FYI this is disgusting, the delicate may want to not read it. http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/japanese-scient-1.php. No. Just no. Bad Japanese scientist.

I'm supposed to eat dinner now but I'm not sure I can.

Would you want people at work ,future employers, neighbors etc to know you were steampunk ?

No offence, but their people referring to themselves , and usng , "accents " in the same sort  of way a kid role playing would - so how  would any one like a future employer take you seriously  if they saw that on tv ?

people will judge and question that unfortunately all the time.

Tummyache on Tuesdaynight through Thursday morning. Went to the hospital on morning of 5/31 at 10 am and was under general ana at 8 pm. Had an apandectomy and they released me at lunchtime on 6/1. REALLY?  my tummy hurts, but now I have no apendix, but three totally bruised up holes in my belly. No bikinis this summer.
Argh

[rovingjack]

Had some sickness this morning, and the blasted woozy feeling come up a couple of times today. Crohn's I'm sorta used to and can usually handle well enough. It's this feeling that ranges from stage fright to fatigue that keeps coming around that's freaking me out.

My sleeping patterns are off a bit too. and I'm constantly hungry. I feel like something constantly on the edge of going bad. I swear this is going to drive me mad.

I spent the day telling myself that if I can just make it another decade or two they'll have entire new treatments to help me get better. Ones that don't have equal chance of outright killling me or just costing me a fortune to ease my troubles a bit.

I need to find a way to chill out and relax.

Thanks Mr. Oakes ... We are indeed coming together ... months ago, after a previous incident, my sister and I had an eye opening experience regarding an alleged inflammatory email "sent by Miss Bird to Mom then forwarded to my sister'  ... at the time it was quite an unpleasant discovery (there was never any email sent by Miss Bird, therefore my sister never received it ... the email was a fantasy)  Things started falling apart more rapidly once she (Mom) discovered that sister and I were discussing the situation.

None the less, now the hospital, doctors and courts have declared her ... ummm ...permanently incapacitated  and have her on lockdown (watched closely, alarms if she tries to escape, etc).  Bro has been assigned as Guardian for the duration.  The diagnosis is advanced dementia progressing to Alzheimers.
As said before, we've all come together ... no backstabbing, no bickering, no dramas - that stuff was the construct of Mom for the sake of keeping herself as the center of attention.

Bummer when self centered actions bordering on narcissism and generous amounts of hate directed at anyone who dare to divert attention away from her, ends with the end of reality.  We've all pointed out to her over the years that this 'hate' towards our spouses and others would consume her.

We all feel like a load of chavs for committing her to Happy Acres purgatory, but the choice was ultimately not ours - her hate and narcissism, the doctors and social workers trumped all that.  Still sucks though.

Well at least she didnt attack you physically , or did she ?

( 99% of the reason I,m housebound now is due to my mother ) and that , after a year of getting myself to the point where i was just about to go out ( thats right , she attacked me just on  the very day I had planned to leave my prison ) leaving me in a far worse state , and perhaps indefinitely stuck in here as a result.

And that wasnt a garghhh , that was unspeakable , and still is .

haha , well its usually you guys I have the most fun with .. Im technically Scorpio  too , ( my moon sign that is ) my sun however is Scorpio mortal enemy (Aries ) . Just to sweeten the mix my chinese sign is also the sworn enemy of my mothers ( shes a cock - rooster - metal ) and im a wooden rabbit

fire and water do not mix ( though im usually ok with the fishy folk n crabbies )

It was partly my fault as i basically kicked her in defense , after she refused to stop provoking me ( pushing , poking etc ) i just snapped  - she was bruised for a month or so and i got stuck in here..

Only meet 4 Sags - cant say Im fan of the ones Ive meet ( their usually pretty much in your face and calling the shots whether you agree or not )

Again I start my day being physically sick and with a few hours of pain following. I'm not sleeping well and I'm still unemployed (not that I'm at all sure in this condition I'm employable). It takes it out of me and I'm tired and weak all day and a bit unsteady on my feet.

I"M SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED!

I want to work on things and contribute to the world, I want the economy to stop F-ing over the sick little guys like me, I want the pure genius of humanity and the booming advancement of tech and science to not be bogged down in red tape and Bull ---- so that we can help each and every person out there who is prevented from their potential by crippling ailments and disease.

Instead it's like watching a house burn. My health gets nasty and the systems in place to lead and benefit us are F-ing it all up and actually impeding human potential...

The potential in us is astounding, the ideas and capabilities right now are phenomenal, and yet in the grand performance of life humanity is going off like a Fart in church.

Gaaaarrrggghhh!

I'm'a wander over to 'makes me happy' and try to focus on the good things about today and not think about how I'm likely to die twenty to thirty years before my time, in pain and humiliations as my body gives out one piece at a time and half the things I dreamed of seeing will be just beyond my last moments.

Wish I could say I hate this F-ing world, but then I wouldn't be so bitter about the painful and drawn out forced ejection.

Instead it's like watching a house burn. My health gets nasty and the systems in place to lead and benefit us are F-ing it all up and actually impeding human potential...

The potential in us is astounding, the ideas and capabilities right now are phenomenal, and yet in the grand performance of life humanity is going off like a Fart in church.

Gaaaarrrggghhh!

I'm'a wander over to 'makes me happy' and try to focus on the good things about today and not think about how I'm likely to die twenty to thirty years before my time, in pain and humiliations as my body gives out one piece at a time and half the things I dreamed of seeing will be just beyond my last moments.

Wish I could say I hate this F-ing world, but then I wouldn't be so bitter about the painful and drawn out forced ejection.

Yes I know all about systems....

Heres another some more dire songs from black history , at one time I wanted to be a professional athlete and ,after working my ass of and basically self teaching myself ( all within 4 yrs ) and much opposition ( jealous people ) managed to do so.

At the same time I had my first big breakthrough in my young life and went to the same training camp as my sports idol , I started developing symptoms Id never had before - and 22 yrs later at 37 still have not been able to get rid of since .

Suffice to say I was devastated but the real misery would not be the symptoms that slowly destroyed me , but the people round me ( doctors esp ) whom I depended on and contributed / hastened to my pain through negligence ,bigotry  that they serve as, " their system "

Try as I might to forget there is not one day I dont wake up sick to my gut knowing whats that cost me , as they are all incurable and only escapable through sleep - which not always so enviable when you already spend all your hours in bed .

That said , I never have to wake up and question what i'll do today for the answer is always the same.. there are no illusions or dreams here , there is only death , and death doesnt care about your history , hopes or the scource of your pain.

Uuugaaaarrgggggaaaah!

That and assorted bored snoring sounds sum up my response to watching Suckerpunch yesterday evening. By science that was a terrible film. I expected it to be bad, but even then I just wasn't prepared for an onslaught of such banal drivel.

Words fail me, probably because it was so terrible that parts of my brain have been irrevocably damaged by the experience. I woke up this morning with terrible neck pain and soreness down one side. Normally I'd just assume I slept a little awkwardly, given the film experience last night though I'm going to assume that it's due to terribad film induced brain damage.

Very pretty vfx though, bloody awful costumes for the ladies.

Much like being stabbed in the intelligence by a boring but attractive fashonista.

A secondary gaaah would be that I can barely turn my head without wincing and it's my first day on a new job!

Tiny GAH from me. I have a job interview at half 2, and all I want to do is go ice skating.

I understand the usual symptoms following a viewing of 'Suckerpunch' is  repetitive strain injury to the right wrist/arm, blurred vision and possible palm hair!
