Warm and Dry

Brilliant Baby just is not brilliant at all. They cannot make up their mind whether they are “British” or “American”. Just because it is narrated by someone British does not make it “British”. They use American Children, speak of holidays such as the 4th July (NOT A UK HOLIDAY - or rest of the world other than the states come to think of it!), and write “Fall” but say “Autumn”. Perfect to confuse children.

It could have been a good thing except is culturally biased (American Culture) yet aimed for a completely different culture (British). Teaching about different cultures is a good thing, but Brilliant Baby just does not do that at all.

Brilliant? No not at all!

“Hi, everyone:

The Ericsson Company is distributing free computer lap-tops in an attempt to match Nokia that has already done so. Ericsson hopes to increase its popularity this way. For this reason, they are giving away the new WAP laptops. All you need to qualify is to send this mail to 8 people you know.

Within 2 Weeks, you will receive Ericsson T18. But if you can send this to 20 people or more, you will receive Ericsson R320

Make sure to send a copy to: anna.swelung@ericcson.com”

If you have received this email, PLEASE do NOT forward it. It is a hoax email. It is a chain email that does not do anything other than cause email congestion and irritate people. I cannot bear to receive another one of these emails. I will ban anyone who sends me this email again, so that I never receive trash from that person again.

I would like to prove my point to you:-

• If you have any common sense, you would verify the email address and the offer before forwarding.
• This email has been circulating since the beginning of the millennium - can you imagine how many times I have received this email or a similar version to it!
• People do not give away things for nothing - why would they give you a laptop?
• More importantly why would they give you a laptop when they don’t make laptops but phones?
• The Ericsson’s mentioned are actually phones and not laptops!
• They are discontinued models, so why would they have a stock of them at all?
• Even if it were true… are you so desperate for a discontinued phone?
• The email address is not valid!
• Nor is the variation of anna.swelund@ericsson.com valid!
• I am irritated that I have received yet another chain email!
• Nobody has ever received a phone or a laptop. I always ask the people who send me the chain if they received anything. I would only forward if the actually did. (In other words I never forward it!)

If you feel you really need to forward something - return the email, perhaps in the same way and with a link to this post. It may help stop both you and me from receiving so much junk email. Here’s to hoping!

Every wondered why men don’t pay compliments? Like they ever needed an excuse for their oblivion! They are now blaming it on political correctness! Honestly!

Why is it that by the time you finished cleaning one place somewhere else needs cleaning? I hate cleaning with a vengence. But at least having a clean room is reward in itself. :S

Tax debt? is a horrible nightmare. Can you believe I have recently received a tax bill from Malta all the way back from 1994 -1998. It is a pretty hefty bill and unexpected too. Imagine getting a tax bill more than 10 years later! To make matters worse, there seem to be some errors too. Needless to say I am not the least bit impressed.

Thankfully there are places that can actually give tax information and help. Pity this does not cover Malta.

I hate chain mail with a vengeance. It blocks my email. Fills it with Junk. And infuriates me. Get this. If you send me junk or chain email, don’t be surprised if I :-

1. Shout at you
2. Block you from receiving emails from you
3. Do both 1 & 2

Honestly - NO MORE JUNK or Chain or please forward to others or Good Luck emails. Please.

How could anyone abduct a child? How can no-one have not noticed someone abduct a child? What type of monster must you be to kidnap a child? I dare not think about why or what happened to her?

To the kidnapper, be human, let the child go. She is loved and has a family. Go seek some help. And please do not hurt her.

Here is a conundrum… do you forgive and forget or not?

I was watching Charlotte Gray and I was reduced to tears! It is all very well to just blame Hitler. But Hitler was strong because he had a following. The Nazis killed relentlessly.

War keeps happening. So why does it keep happening? Is it because we forgive and forget? Do we not learn from our mistakes?
