Patience is a Virtue?

Today I was persuaded to go to a religious exhibition in the local village hall. It was called the Journey to the Cross and was meant to be thought provoking, interactive and multi sensory. Indeed it was all those things and we both left feeling quite chilled.

Got home and there was a letter from the DVLA as I had applied to have my father's car registered in my name as my dad had died and I had actually been driving his car for some time even before he died. Anyhows I sent the relevant documents away and this stupid letter arrived with the usual snivil servant speak
"You must fill in form V5C before you can get VOSA then VIC yada yada yada"
All this because my dad got a wee bump on his car in 2007 and as the repair was costing more than the wee car was worth he needed to get a VIC inspection, which he duly did and because he was disabled the inspector came to the house and lo did my mother still have a copy of the report which the DVLA should also already have on their records but don't!

Have you ever tried phoning them up? 7 bloody numbers later and countless stupid snivil servant recorded messages and almost an hour hanging on the dam phone as if my life depended on it and all the earlier God related chilling, multisensory went out the window to be replaced by ungrateful thoughts, unrepetable language and murderous intentions!

Finally got a human snivling servant on the line and explained my situation and she then said I now had to fill in form V62! where do they get all these pesky numbers from and why in this day and age when we are the most recorded cctv nation on the planet with all our details easily obtainable by either Mossad or Bin Laden can they in the DVLA no get a tiny piece of information right and make life less complicated for us lesser mortals?

So now my Journey to the Cross has just become the Journey to MAKE me Cross!

Before I forget, todays blip is of an origianl piece of religious art which was part of the exhibition and was painted by John Lowry Morrison better known to some as Jolomo and who was there. The painting is not for sale and can only be put on display while he is there with it due to insurance purposes and if some idiot should think about nicking it DONT cause poor old Jolomo would have to fill in a million insurance VOC VIC forms!

If you look closly you will see Christ and a bit of the cross. To his right with a pointy hat is a magician who claims he can do magic but if you see the wee white chosts which he says are actually demons, then you realise its a bad magician! I thought cause all the blokes were wearing headbands , they were actually the local rugby club! As I didnt get a chance to speak to him properly due to the que, I don't know what the animal signifies or even what kind of animal it is but I will enquire!

Oh and blip tells me this is my 100th post. Good for me

Happy blipping blipfolkies
