graculus: (It's all Cyc's fault)
I shouldn't do it, really I shouldn't... *sigh* Every time I forget how riled up the 'Have Your Say' page on the BBC News website makes me, I go back and see someone spouting nonsense about stuff they have no clue about and it can't be good for my blood pressure!

Today's delightful selection of idiotic comments by know-nothing blowhards is about all us public sector workers and our 'fat cat pensions' and how unfair it is for everyone else to be supporting us and our right to retire at 60 if we've put in the years while we go on strike and inconvenience them. Uh huh. Because we're not council tax and income tax payers like them and of course it's okay for other people to get treated better than us (police, teachers, civil servants, firemen, nurses) because people like them (well, apart from civil servants, who nobody seems to like - sorry [livejournal.com profile] lexin!), and yet more inanity along similar lines about how good we have it and how we should put up and shut up. Pffft.

Meanwhile, off to take Lily to the vets as she's developed some nice bald patches at the top of her front legs. Hopefully it's just this skin infection she seems to come down with every few months and antibiotics will clear it right up, since she seems perky other than that. I figured out the other day that she must be about 8 now, which is good going for a ferret, since I've had her 4 years and the rescue place I got her from reckoned she was about 4 then (though understandably aging ferrets is not easy!).

E.T.A. Checking up on google for the phone number of the vets surgery (so I don't have to look for it again when Lily has her follow-up), I'm entertained to see that the blog belonging to the very same 20-something vet we just saw is listed about 3 places below the official site. Am even more entertained to find said blog includes links to a mobile phone picture archive, including pictures of him drunk over New Year with his mates. That's what he gets for mentioning the firm by name, I guess... ;)
graculus: (OTP)
Just in case anyone was wondering (though I'm going to tell you anyway!) - what's hot:

  • Boston Legal - oh, what's not to love? See icon for details! :P
  • Bones - sure, it's like AU episodes of Angel, where he joined the FBI instead of being a vampire, fighting crime alongside Dr Autism!MarySue, but the geeks...
  • Veronica Mars - but there's not enough Logan/Weevil slash out there! :(
  • House - teetered on the edge of annoying the crap out of me at the start of this season but managed to pull it back somehow.
  • Criminal Minds - even if I keep having Dead Like Me flashbacks with Rube Gideon thingy the profiler...
  • Wanted - possibly the most idiotic copshow on tv, but somehow I love all of them, especially Eddie, who is my skeezy favourite.
  • Numb3rs - or at least it would be, if I ever got around to watching the eps I haven't seen yet... *sigh*
  • Supernatural - like the show, don't see why everyone's so smitten with it though... like Dean best, even if that's playing against type for me since he's not the geek. ;)

    What's not:

  • Navy NCIS - even the lovely DMc was not enough to make me stick with season 2. I figured once I was essentially fast-forwarding past any scene that didn't include either Ducky, McGee and/or Abby, it was time to quit.
  • Lost - failed to keep my interest into season 2, when I found I was starting to hope bad things would happen to all of the characters...
  • The Inside - oh, spork me now. I managed to get through the pilot episode but lost the will to live soon after...

    There are probably others in the latter list but maybe I'm in denial? *ponders* Haven't decided where Battlestar Galactica season 3 is likely to end up, though I have a feeling it's about to jump the shark. And cut for BSG spoilers )
