We both had separate rooms in separate buildings and had arranged to meet for an unspecified social activity most likely to the cinema or perhaps for food it is unclear exactly what.I had gone back to mine to change quickly before meeting up. For an unknown reason there was a mix up with keys.

It was a beautifully sunny day and my room was in a building at the bottom of the slope of the hill so I almost felt like I was battling up to meet him. The strangeness of the dream was now that we had each other’s keys! I phoned him about meeting and he told me that he had changed his plans and was now going to the cinema with an unknown girl. I was very curt and cross with him not least for leaving me alone and without plans but also for what appeared to be dating someone other than his girlfriend.

In my temper I had forgot to clarify how I was to get my keys back. I continued up towards his cubic building of glass and polished metal and redialled his number. He answered and without hesitation or regard for what he said began a tirade against him. Now I was to be expected and I would want my keys.

I arrived at the building and burst through the clear doors as though it was my right to be rude, empowered by my state of anger and with no regard for the others present. I quickly reached his floor and there they both stood, him in the foreground the menace in the background mute and calculating. I demanded my keys back in a bellowed voice and then argued with him about the nature of his involvement with this girl and what about his girlfriend. I had got quite emotional and upset as opposed to angry now tears streaming down my face. He contradicted himself about his relationship with this new character and so eventually I left unwilling to listen to him any further. I did, however, apologise very meekly to the receptionist for disturbing her reading.

That journey back down the hill should of been a delight in the summer however the long deep steps seemed to drag as though my body was caught in a series of still photographs that had been stitched together at interval. My heart full of gloom and sadness that one should argue so with ones own.

My name is NAME and I recently purchased your reference dictionary of British sign language iPhone application. When I select a word in your dictionary the video starts playing, however, it plays fairly quickly and then plays the next video, then the next, also the fourth and so on.

I was wondering if there was a way to stop the application automatically moving on to the next video? I appreciate that my visual perception skills will increase with practice, however, I simply find it too much too quickly to try and appreciate the vast number of signs also it doesn’t give me the opportunity to practice them. I am aware of the feature to replay videos but that doesn’t really allow me to practice the signs at my own pace. I would have to set the replay value to some arbitrarily high value in order to practice a couple of times before being forced onto a new sign I may not of chosen in a given category for example ceremony or circumcise in the family section when the new class I attend has only been practicing immediate family members so far.

Ideally I would prefer to be able to manually choose when the application progresses to another video. I.e. have buttons for replay or next video after the current video has finished (similar to how youtube works). As I mentioned earlier the videos can seem fairly fast to a newcomer to the language such as myself I suggest it would be helpful if there were an option to slow down the videos somehow but this seems a very minor point in comparison to the automatic play issue.

I do think it is a very good application and I chose to pay the fee, which although fair was not inconsiderable. I do, however, feel that the points I have mentioned above have so far given me a disappointing experience of your application and make it quite difficult to use the dictionary. I will look forward to your response and do hope my comments have been supportive and constructive.

Kind Regards,
NAME

I have a TV License for my place of residence, however, you continue to send me various warnings and threats about an unlicensed property.

I appreciate that in all likelihood these communications are automatically generated but I would criticise that you do not provide a free of charge method for me to inform you that your address database is incorrect.

I am especially distraught that you have sent a further letter to ‘the legal occupier’ of an invalid address with my post code ensuring that my local court is preparing to summon me.

I have provided my license number in this contact form and my telephone number and I would be grateful if one of your representatives could contact me in order to discuss the offending address(s) in your database.

Frankly I am entirely dissatisfied with your persistent and unjust harassment of an actual license holder.

that as you are so once was I.

And as I am you too shall be,

prepare ye then to follow me.

Only a breach of criminal law may lead to prosecution. Breach of civil law, however, could well lead to the defendant being sued.

As trespass is a civil offence and not a criminal one then trespassers will most certainly not be prosecuted.

This post is attributed to my brother whom provided the information in the same conversation he tricked me into mis-answering a QI like question. More on that story later.

Today I’ve been having a conversation with my mother and we were talking about relationships and personality. We’re both of the opinion that its futile to attempt to change yourself in order to please someone else. If only I knew then, what I know now cropped up.

A paradox. The epiphany can never be true. I find in conversation that this phrase usually refers to attitudes and not knowledge. I have now the attitude I do only because of the experiences between then and now so it becomes impossible to ever have the vogue attitude without the requisite experience.

I want to feel your heart beat.
I want to smell your scent, sweet.

Your touch is all I need.
Your attention my only greed.

When all I wanted was for you to stay.
It wasn’t right, now, you’ve gone astray.

The OED have record of this word dating back to 1481. I first heard this word spoken in the film ‘The General’s Daughter‘ in a passionate speech by a colonel and I loved it. Although the subject matter is unpleasant the word itself is fantastic.

That produces, or is certain to produce, the intended or appropriate effect; effective. (Said of instruments, methods, or actions; not, in prose, of personal agents.)

The OED have record of this word dating back to 1528. I think it is a gorgeous word.
