Service

Bad Service
I set up a joint bank account with Julie a few weeks ago, and because we're at two different addresses (and hers is the primary address) it will let her add the account to her online banking, but not me.  Thanks a bunch HBOS!  (Apparently I can fix this by taking proof of address into a branch.  Bah - what's the point of online banking if you have to keep going into branches.  And I've had an account with them for 15 years!)

Good Service
My dentist phoned me up to remind me I had an appointment on Tuesday, and then allowed me to change it to Thursday on the fly.  Yay for CHC!

• A Workers' Paradise Found Off Japan's Coast
  Under Hime's system, village employees earn about a third less pay than public servants elsewhere in Japan, though they work the same hours. This has allowed the village to create more jobs: it now directly or indirectly employs a fifth of all working islanders. Most of the rest are engaged in fishing, also government-subsidized. In fact, village officials say, there are few fully private-sector jobs on the island.

  Ashkenazi Jews have a higher rate of some deadly genetic diseases -- and of high IQs. Scientists Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending say that's no coincidence.

Julie is mean to me

She says this _isnt_ a picture of my birthday present.

An exception to rule 34

I can't remember who else was there except for Julie and me, but we were discussing a fetish, and I think I've found something for which no online fetish pics exist!

If anyone else can find pictures of overweight ladies in SCUBA gear then I don't want to know.
