Day 9 Tuesday

Sometimes I think the TV show 'Little Britain' should be termed a reality show and not a comedy series. On a number of occasions during the last 9 days I have had reason to snigger and bite my tongue at the pathetic attitude one often deals with here. I stopped in at the library today and attempted to join so that I could take out a DVD (there is not a DVD rental store here). The woman said, thats fine it is free to join just bring us a utility bill blah blah blah. I said I didn't really have one but would be in the village for another 2 weeks at least and maybe back here at the end of Jan. 'Oh, then is wouldn't be worth it then would it' she reckoned so no I couldn't join. Crap, I fancied watching a movie on my computer tonight. So I will buck the system and take in the old lady's card, if she can find it that is.

I also have been shocked rigid at 2 incidents in the news here, one a gang rape of a 14 year old girl back in march (I think) by at least 6 boys/men, horrific stuff and I cant believe it happened here in the UK I have cut it out of the newspaper to keep and read when I think SA is the worst it can get. The other incident happened in Jan on a farm in Buckinghamshire where hundreds of horses were dying or dead, and they were not even abandoned the people just couldn't be bothered. The SPCA here believed it to be the worse case of animal cruelty ever reported. So it certainly isn't a picnic here either.
