Am I missing something? I noticed that Being Erica, a Canadian series, was missing the season 2 episodes from episode 2 onwards. I decided that I would investigate and provide the titles and original air dates. All 5 updates were rejected, apparently the original air date means the U.S. date which is next year with the Canadian air date in the notes section. Am I now going to have to go back over all the series for which I'm responsible and find the U.S. air dates and put them in as the originals???? I am mad, just a lot!!

Sorry, but I just had to post these that a friend sent me earlier today.........


IDIOT SIGHTING :
We had to have the garage door repaired.'The Qualified' repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Garrador made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'
We haven't used a 'Qualified' repair man since.

MIDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the girl a £5 note. Our total was £4.50, so I also handed her a 50p piece.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a £1 back.' She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the 50p, and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back £1 and 50p in change..
Do not confuse the waitresses at McD's.

Deer xingIDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area near Rackenford. We recently had a new neighbour call the local council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Restaurant and ordered a tomato salad. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged colleague of mine. She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing driving?!'
She was a trainee community police officer

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear colleague. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

keysIDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it w as unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership.

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us... And they VOTE and they REPRODUCE

Much TV has been watched over the past month. Finished watching Harpers Island, very thrilling, I assume from the ending that there won't be another season. Just finished watching Now and Again, only one season made and I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW IT ENDED! I'd never seen this before and was intrigued, with a pre-24 Dennis Haysbert, the lovely Margaret Colin, and a post-Dark Skies Eric Close although some of the supporting cast left a bit to be desired. Also watched Life, both seasons; yet again another excellent series ended prematurely. Also been watching The Inbetweeners, season 1, a very funny british comedy, although it revolves around teenagers, we see it from an adult perspective. Good to see Eureka is back and I've picked up another couple of series which could be interesting; Warehouse 13 a top-secret storage facility in North America that houses every strange artefact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government, and Hung (which has just been renewed for a second season) about a coach who desperately needs money and becomes a male escort!

I also caught the German F1 Grand Prix where Aussie Mark Webber took his maiden win then two weeks later, the Hungarian Grand Pix where Lewis Hamilton, the current World Champion took his first win of the season. Looks like being a good title fight between Webber and Jenson Button.

Sorry, this is just a quick update, I'll add some more in the next week. Have a good one

I stumbled across this film by accident and although it lokked to be slightly bizarre, even a bit boring to start with, I couldn't stop watching it.
I'm so glad that I continued as it is such a fantastic movie. The interplay between the...
