Little VictoriesI recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

If you like that sort of bookYou have to read "The Timewaster letters" by Robin Cooper. He writes to everyone - publishers, public figures, law societies, trade magazines etc. purely for the purpose of wasting as much time and as many resources as humanly possible, often through the means of ludicrous inventions and ridiculous business proposals.

Aslong as it's amusing as well, sounds good!

YepHis correspondance with Dorling Kindersley is amazing - he tries to get them to accept his (ludicrous) children's fiction and every time they show any interest in a particular story, he claims to have shredded it due to perfectionism. This goes on for about three months before they finally give up.
