Your money determines toys that dive in Autumn.

"Here's a payment of £326 by Sainsbury's. That's your employer?"

"No, I've never worked for Sainsbury's. I don't even have a job."

"Ah, right. Well, what appears to have happened is Sainsbury's have accidentally paid money into your account. I can only imagine they meant to pay one of their employees, and mistyped the account number, or something among those lines. But they appear to have done it twice, they paid nearly £800 into your account. So they corrected that mistake, twice, meaning you had no money again...then they corrected the mistake of paying you initially, twice, causing you to be nearly £800 overdrawn in November. They appear to have been gradually corrected this mistake, and that appears to be the only explanation as to why you are currently £20 overdrawn."

"...right."



It's amazing what can go on in your bank account in the few months that you don't even look at your balance, due to not having any reason to look at your balance, due to having no money when you last checked your balance, due to you using it all. When I went into Nationwide to ask them why I was £20 overdrawn despite not using the account since the absolute haze that was Summer 2008, I expected an explanation that, while not completely reasonable, wasn't borderline retarded.

I must be off now, but for all you film lovers out there reading this, might I recommend this ultra-black comedy I had the pleasure of viewing today.

The plot goes like this: a young retirement-home nurse goes for a night on the town, gets absolutely fucked off her face on booze and ecstasy, decides that driving home will be the smart thing to do, and hits a homeless guy, who becomes lodged in her windshield. Panicking, she doesn't stop until she gets the car in her garage, and leave the car there, man in windshield, hoping he'll die before she gets found out. It's crazy dark, but it is definitely worth a watch. Some of the scenes in the film made me wince more than any of the Saw films. One of those films you watch through your fingers while you laugh uncomfortably. And you know I like those.
