And the 66 pence credit card bill saga rumbles on...
I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. I paid off a credit card bill in full, only to be presented with a statement last month for 66p. I chalked this up to maybe not leaving enough time for the transaction to go through, having left only a couple of days before the 'payment due' date. Anyway, failure to be able to pay it off on line resulted in my writing a cheque to clear it (which, having checked my bank balance today still doesn't seem to have been processed, some two weeks after I posted it).

Got home this evening to find a new statement, which indicates that the 66p has indeed been credited to my account as of 4th August. Yay! I'm debt free, apart from the three grand owing on the other card. That's good. Phew. Etc. Then I scanned down the statement to find that my new outstanding balance is.... £0.01.

How the shuddering fuck can this be???? Do I really need to write another cheque for a fucking penny? What will be the interest accumulated if I just don't pay the fucker off this month? Writing the bloody cheque and posting it, plus the administration, will cost disproportionately more than the outstanding debt, ffs! As will ringing them tomorrow.

I dunno. I bet they're all terrorists. Just wait until Fox Noos gets hold of this...

Just a few of the replies that will no doubt be spawned by this thread, so I thought I'd save people some time. My personal choice would be to burn them, but then I advocated stabbing people to a surprised cashier in boots this evening.

TRU DAT
Parkinson's Disease is a bastard. I've just had Tom Cruise and Billy Connolly in all night talking about their new book/film/stand-up show.

Bastards have drunk all me coffee.

For those who can't be arsed, they're making a new Nightmare on Elm Street...without Robert Englund...with Earle Haley - Rorschach from Watchmen...and they're making Freddy serious. WTF?

Freddy is MEANT to be serious
he's a child molesting murderer. He's not cuddly. It will still be a shit film though. The only decent nightmare is New Nightmare.

Granted he only became more cuddly and a caricature of himself as the films went on
but to make a new one with a different person playing Freddy, no matter how good he is, just seems a bit wrong. Did they learn nothing from the new Friday the 13th film? Utter cack.

God I loved new nightmare

The thing is though
the old Friday 13th films were also crap. They were all very bad films, but if you watch them all, you sort of amalgamate them in your head into one half decent horror, but they are generally not good.

Oh I agree, my reasoning behind comparing the two is that they were the two big horror saga's of the 80s
that are now going through a revival. It's just a shame they didn't leave them the hell alone.

But they have potential
that wasn't actually realised. None of the original Nightmare films were that scary, but the concept is terrifying. A man who kills you in your dreams, that's a scary thought. But due to low budgets it wasn't well executed and then it was destroyed by sequels.

Actually, Friday has far less potential as it's just a generic slasher pic. I thought Jason X was really funny and an excellent way of making a jumpy horror film which was also funny.

They're also remaking An American Werewolf in That There London
It'll be shit.

I didn't rate the original that highly anyway, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid

It's probably my favourite horror movie ever.
I just love the humour and Englishness of it.

Plus it's got a whole last reel set in a porno cinema. What's not to like?
