Pooh banned from Polish playground for being ‘inappropriate hermaphrodite’

Just picked up this little story from the web.

Childhood can be a precarious place, as we all know. It’s important to choose those role models for (our) children.

In Poland, they have identified some downfalls of the seemingly harmless, and now with Disney, faintly ubiqituous, Pooh bear.

Bad pooh

Apparently, Pooh’s shortcomings when discussed by committee of local nimbies in Tuszyn town in Poland raised some concerns because he just wasn’t macho enough.

Severn Trent Billing tries to Scam me out of money – Part #7

  • Dear Mr Tyler,
  • Account number 598168590-9
  • I have been passed your email of 6/2/08, from Darren Sandbach who is our
  • Web Executive. I have investigated your query and can see that the reason
  • that we were stating that you still owed £74.20 was because you had made
  • the payment on an account in the name of the occupier. The confusion seems
  • to have arisen due to you informing us that you would be leaving the
  • property and emigrating. Once this happened we updated the account for
  • Flat 3 into the name of the Occupier ready for a new occupant to provide
  • their details. You then informed us that you were no longer leaving Flat 3
  • and we opened an account back into your name, in the meantime the £74.20
  • was paid using the Occupier bill. I have now transferred the £74.20 onto
  • your current open account number as shown above.
  • I am sorry for the inconvenience or distress that this misunderstanding
  • may have caused you and can confirm that your account balance is now nil.
  • Your next bill will be issued during February/March 2008 for the charges
  • that will be due for the period 1/4/08 to 31/3/09. Should you have any
  • further queries please call our Contact Centre on 08457 500 500.
  • I trust that this resolves the matter to your satisfaction.
  • Regards

I used to work for your lot.

I think it funny that you want to destroy my life.
