A badly fitting corset.....
Posted Jun 11, 2005
My first wail of despair was posted on the 21st of May.
It is now the 10th June 2005. That surely makes
10+10 days=20 days.
So why do my postings appear to have been written "2 weeks ago"?
I thank all the kind people who are trying to get me back into the body of the kirk - i.e. a member of hootoo.
It absolutely amazes me that pressing something which I obviously should not have pressed should have enabled me to become completely obliterated in the eyes of the BBC.
Actually - thought crashes into her non-technologicial brain - perhaps if I could remember what I pressed this would be a wonderful way of obliterating one's identity from all records.
Actually I simply do not accept that it is as easy as I have made out!!.
Anyway, hopefully, thanks to the combined efforts of LLWaz in Shropshire and Gnoman in Dublin, and Batty and Pandora across the pond I may sometime be reinstated. Ay my time of life I really do not want to have to keep fighting my way back into the fold.
Boy, this morning I received information about the insurance on my car etc. etc.. It was not only a revelation - it was mind-boggling. I am definitely going to write a piece on Ageism. Have I been discriminatd against? I fear I have - very badly. . It is one of the first times in my life that I really think I have had a really raw raw deal.I was asked whether I had taken my licence when I was 70. I let out a gasp and informed them that I had got my licence at 16 - if you take that away from 77, I think that it means that I have had my licence for 61 years. Then I was told that they were reinstating my no-claim bonus as my car was stationary - parked all by itself in the street, and I had had nothing to do with the accident - except find the bashed left rear light and the penetrating wound.
BTW, I saw a car with a boat attached to it turning into our street, and I suspect that that might have been the cause of the accident. It will be interesting to see if I am right. I have the little light from the wicked vehicle in my drawer next to my bed.
Ah well!. (heaves a sigh and pulls her shoulders back(weakly) and tries to put a smile on her face and a lilt in her voice and walk with a frim tread to face the.......bother what was it..........?
Oh goodness, this is all so boring. And the tennis is boring, the golf is boring, the rugby is boring, and sadly I am very very boring.
Much affection
From the boring old bat.

Disappearance of Also Ran1.....
Posted May 21, 2005
Today, 2 days before I turn 77, a cruel trick occurred.
I clicked something wrongly and off, out of the ether of hege I disappeared.
I have tried everything, but everytime I am told that Also Ran does not exist, that I am no longer an entity.
I have taken the rather silly new name of GenJoanofac but I feel neither militant nor particularly pious at the moment.
I have spent a great deal of time today trying to get back my "lifeline" - some of you have my email address - i.e. LLWaz, Zantic, Mr. Gnoman, Batty and of course Pandora.
I had hoped to have a wonderful chat to you on my birthday. Now I shall just have to remember all of you and be thankful that for the last four years you have all been such wonderful friends to me.
If eny of you would like to write to me please do contact the people who have my email address.
With my 
as always.
