h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I think those will be the prevailing things I remember about this summer. With Royal Mail, I have someone to blame for my irritation, but as I don't believe in God, the weather is blameless. If I'd been flooded I suppose I would find that more upsetting but as it is, with my DVD rental obsession, the postal strikes are utterly infuriating. I've worked for the blighters and I was better paid than I've ever been since, despite the fact it was five years ago, so I think the workers should really take a look around and realise just how well-off they actually are. Though I do have sympathy for their job cuts. The third thing is more of a personal theme but this is the summer when everyone from my past has got back in touch, people I knew in my childhood and lost contact with ten years ago brought back to me by the magic of Facebook. I only hope that doesn't extend to my mother.
