The bitch who has my daughter stressed out, depressed, raging at everyone who loves her. I've heard about the challenge teenage girls can be, but this is hitting right at home. A formerly happy girl butting heads with everyone, on antidepressants, constantly worrying about this bitch. And TICT even hotter places in H the teachers who don't seem to have any real strategies for dealing with the situation. Not that I blame them, but when I see my daughter getting hurt, I'm not happy at all!

So what should they do when an actor leaves?
Shoot the actor. Looks like fans won't be happy otherwise.
No killing. But maybe a better contract. I gather they're sometimes renegotiated. Or have a new actor take over the part. (Doesn't seem to be done much, anymore. But was done fairly successfully in the past, e.g. "Dynasty". "Roseanne" even had fun with it: the actress playing the oldest daughter left for a while; another was brought in; the old one came back; and the switch was done mid-episode, with a comment about "you look different".)
Or send the character away, for an indefinite period of time. That leaves room for future visits. One popular series did that in the past year, when an actress decided (somewhat mysteriously) to leave. Fans were very upset--but the show did manage to craft an especially good premise and leave-taking.
{Not meaning to make this a discussion thread. Just answering a question aimed at me.}
Also TICTH shows that make a lot of strange changes, just to shake things up. Grrrrr.
May those responsible all have buckets of green slime poured over them, a la "You Can't Do That On Television".

I spent an hour cleaning the Sahara off my car yesterday and making it look like new, then came back to find some evil-minded feathered carrion on a day release from Hell had flown erratically back and forth over the roof, windscreen, bonnet and side door. Brown splodges scattered everywhere.

TICTH the little bastard on the moped riding back and forth outside my window. Motoring at what passes for speed on his tiny (but extremely loud) rubber-band powered engine over the speed bumps is clearly ever-so-exciting, but being C-ed to H may be the only thing that gets him out of the range of my itchy trigger finger when my last nerve finally goes twang.

My reaction to my new neighbours who I have not yet met but who have a peculiar behaviour that is irrritating me more than it should.
Behind our homes is a green, a grass area with a few trees. I have looked at this as a good place to put my telescope, as we have dark skies, but I haven't done this as often as I might since moving in, which may make me a bit of a dog in the manger.
The first night they owned the property, light streamed out across the green rom the house. As they weren't in, I assumed they had accidentally left it on after looking over the place.
But it has been on every night since, from a very small spare room with no curtains, and it is irritating me twice over. Firstly, because I don't know why, and want to find out, and secondly, because I don't want, at some time in the future, to have to trek round and ask them to turn it off when I want to look at something through my scope.
So far, I have the idea that their child may be in that room, and want the light on all night, and the black expanse of the window they can't see out of in order to sleep.
Or, more worryingly, they are going to have a security light fixed, and are using this as an alternative while waiting for it. Totally unnecessary as those who have them, the other side of the green, no longer have them on, as the local foxes are the only things that trip them. The light from the bedroom doesn't really illuminate their garden, but does light the whole of the green, while leaving black edges which any malefactor could utilise to sneak up on them or anyone else. It does look as if they turn it off in the daytime.
But what I really don't like is the way I am obsessing about it.
I don't want the subject to sneak out when I first meet them - Welcome to ........ and can't you turn that ****** light off isn't quite the right sort of neighbourly.

Related to this, I will condemn those websites that don't load at all, hanging because apparently they are "waiting for axolotlviagra.com" or whatever - some add-on that has sod all to do with the page I actually want to look at.

The young people who attempted to enter houses, including mine, on Thursday night. They only did a little damage to my nice new doorframe which I can sort with some of that paint for repairing white goods. The policeman who came round today to see if anyone had heard anything, and pointed out my damage, reckoned they were not professionals, who know which doors give way to screwdrivers and are not worth trying.
Note, this is the night the light went off. However, the front of the property has public lighting and porch lights.

The company has campaigned successfully to have water defined as a need, not a right, so access is not protected.

TITCH insects. Specifically, the rice weevils and pantry moths which are infesting my stored food in record numbers, the slugs and snails which are trying to eat my fresh food before it really even grows, the wasps who come in through any open window and then fly dementedly around all the closed ones trying to find a way out, and last of all, the goddamn bee which stung my foot three days ago. I have a swelling the size of a child's hand, which hurts during the night and itches during the day, and which shows no real sign of resolving at this stage. Ice is my friend. Insects - are not.

No- I got in late, noted the light was off, woke up later to go to the loo, noted it was on.
What is strange is that I prefer to sleep without curtains so I can see the stars and the trees and the birds when awake! (Shades of Fotherington-Thomas, there.) Oh, and the planes turning at the end of their run up from Heathrow.
Actually, what the room has at the moment is blinds and if they are down, the room looks like an office or a clinic room or something, not a bedroom. Putting up curtains will be a problem.
I found I could sleep without curtains when I had men supposedly coming to fit double glazing to my last place, and they decided to do another task first after I had taken everything down, and I couldn't be bothered to put it back up for one night.
But, security lights should, by law be confined to the intended area, which is implied is the property of the light owner, and this light fails to light their garden. The position on not going out when not needed is not clear when the light can be operated by the owner. (Been checking up on the campaign for dark skies.)
Next good seeing night I'm going out to look at Jupiter, and offering the opportunity to selected neighbours.

Or maybe something to do with the fact that he lives both upwind and up river. Actually, I am not even sure he lives locally any more - apparently he has Mega-Agri-Business holdings spread across at least three counties. He's married into the aristocracy, too, so perhaps that's why he thinks his shit don't stink
