...another little rant...
Ok, so I had a rant about some crappy television adverts and the state of some of Britains drivers yesterday and thought I'd follow it up with other stuff that's been going through my head since I hit the post now button.
The Natwest advert came on television again. What bullshit! You go to a bank to either put money in, or ask for money out in some form, be it a loan, a mortgage, or cash from your account (which you might use a machine for anyway) NOT talk about your baby, or if you should choose between a holiday or a car, or talk about getting engaged or married. We're more than just a bank, we're nosey bastards too! I once asked for a business account with Natwest, and it wasn't until I went to the branch to pay some cash in that they told me they had declined my application for an account. No letter. No phonecall. Nothing. My advise, stay well clear.
Gok Wan(ker) - what a nob head!
My phone just rang, and it was one of those automated sales calls. What a joke. If I'm going to speak to them (and I probably won't anyway) I'd like them to take the time to dial my number, and be the first to say hello. Why the (swear word) would they think I'm going to sign up to some service or buy some product when they can't even be bothered to put someone human on the phone instead of some computer?
I keep getting letters addressed to a girl called Mrs Angela Adams at my address, and because the letters are addressed to this person I am, apparently, not meant to open them, but I'm fed up of returning them not at this address, return to sender, so I've started to open them, and it's a good job I did. They are all from debt collection agents etc, who (apparently) have the right to come to my house when I'm not in and take goods to the value of the many thousands this girl owes, if there is no response to these letters. Answer me this. If I'm not allowed to open these letters legally, and they are legally allowed to come and remove goods from my house, what am I, by law, meant to do about it? WTF!!! I have since spoken to some of these debt collection agents who say they have been told by Equifax that my address is a possible place of contact for Mrs Angela Adams, even though I'm the only person living at this address, and I'm the only person who has lived at this address for the last five years!!! Guess what Equifax said? They won't remove her name from my address unless she asks them to do so! What a joke. She owes thousands of pounds. Do you really think she's going to phone Equifax and say she doesn't live at my address and give them her new address? Simple answer! NO!!!! ...and to make matters worse, Equifax have said they are allowed to give collection agents my address as a contact for her, and will continue to do so. Why? This is all very confusing, and very wrong. If anyone knows Mrs Angela Adams (formally of Brimington, Chesterfield, UK), can you please either post her current location, or inform Equifax of said location, or ask for her to get in touch with me. Thanks in advance.
Arrrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh.....

...a little rant...
So it's been a while since I've actually written a "real" post for my blog so I thought I'd have a little rant about things that have been getting on my nerves recently.
Lets start with a subject I've written about before. Crap adverts! There are so many around at the moment and they just appear to be getting worse. McDonalds have tried to be clever and go all Byron on us with cringe poetry, whilst Confused.com are still making the worse adverts my television has ever had the displeasure to host. There always used to be one or two adverts that you didn't mind watching because they might be cool, reference the old Guiness adverts, or funny, reference the original Meerkat advert, but even Orlov has started to get a little boring. Sort it out, you are only damaging your sales. It's not the state of the economy, it's your crap adverts!
Slow and ignorant drivers come next. First off, the dick heads that don't indicate off roundabouts do my head right in. I can be waiting what seems like ages to pull out on to a roundabout and if they had only indicated I would have had time to pull out, but nooooo, they only care about their own destination. May you all get lots of parking tickets rain down on your cars and unwanted flat tires at times that I'm on the road. Slow drivers come next (they actually come last because they're so funking slow). Why drive 30 in a 40 zone when there's nothing on the road in front of you? What really does my head in is the car that flies out of a junction to get out in front of you and then insists on driving like a learner with a lead weight up their arse. Please.
That's it for now, it was only meant to be a little rant, and even I've done my head in now. Laters.
