Continuing with the whole "Vampires Are Cool" theme for this week's TV watchery, I am currently rediscovering the Pure Awesomeness that is Ultraviolet. Philip Quast is Teh Sex anyway, but Philip Quast as a Catholic priest who hunts vampires and fancies Susannah Harker? Words cannot describe the sexiness!

In other news, apparently a TV License official called 'round yesterday; if it wasn't so fucking annoying, it would be pretty hilarious, as he must have called in the evening when I was home, and yet I had no idea there was anyone at the door. Yet this morning, lying forlornly on the welcome mat, is one of those "tried to call" letters. And seriously, these are the lamest scare tactics ever - the note is all, "If you had been caught evading a TV license today, you could have been fined!" Like, oh noes, I totally could have been fined, except that I wasn't, and also good luck getting in here without a search warrent, you cocksucking motherfucker. And that whole, "Your details have been passed on" line would be a lot more effective if the letter hadn't been addressed to "The Occupier". How is that database coming, guys?

All mockery aside, this shit really, really pisses me off. I don't have a TV aerial or a TV card for my PC, so I don't need a license, but I will be damned if I'm going to fill out a form and let some sweaty balding TVL thug poke around my house on the assumption that I'm a liar. I get these letters every month, and I am sick of TVL using government-sanctioned scare tactics to bully people into paying for something most of us would opt out of if we could.

Apparently Mr TVL is going to be calling again "very soon". All I can say is, I really hope he enjoys staring at my front door, as that is as close as any of these wastes of skin will be getting to my flat.

I got 3 letters las year about that and in the end I got so pissed off with the accusation that every single person in Britain has a TV that I wrote a snotty letter, haven;t heard from them since

I was thinking about doing that, but writing it in really ornante Ye Olde Tymes script and signing it the Scarlet Pimpernel and perhaps insinuating I was fucking John Hales' wife at the same time. But that seemed like a lot of effort to go to, so I just threw the notice away instead.

I prefer the letter idea, that would confuse their little brains.

I'm free Tue and Wed eveings by the way

I would be an awesome priest. People would come to me all like, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned! I raped my brother's dog and then I killed it and made it into pie and fed it to him" and I'd be all, "Man, that is some funny shit. Three Hail Marys and don't assfuck any more dogs," and I would totally be a hero!

I love Ultraviolet - first time I watched it I was all "huh?" and then after I got used to not really understanding it I was fine :). Aww... ickle Commodore Norrington.

When I first watched it, my brother and I couldn't be arsed remembering the character's names so we just gave them random names of our own; Angie was Frown, Vaughn was Shake, Mike was Grin, Pearse was Streak, Kirsty was Eye and Frances was Suit.

Aww I know, he's so cute as Mike! And he brought Jack back so OMGILOVEHIMFOREVER because Jack is awesome.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

Jack is cool. Nothing further to add there :).

[froodle]

Cool with pretty hair, no less.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

Though I have to admit that he does look like an icecream in PotC.

[froodle]

...oh great, now I'm going to be stuck thinking that for all eternity. Of course, Jack Davenport is lickable anyway.

It's his fault entirely. He says it on the commentary - I've still not listened to all of the Johnny Depp one.
