I'll explain the "handle" later. First, let me say that I am really chuffed at the responses to my ranting. As I said, I wrote that as a polite way of complaining to corporate. Such was my inspiration, it took me all of a half hour. Sadly, it hasn't had the slightest effect. I have now been subjected to every conceivable arrangement of Jingle f--king Bells, Let It Snow, etc, by practically every artist you can think of. Heightening my irritation, they played a "country piano" rendition of Silver Bells yesterday(I think it was Floyd Cramer)in bloody 4/4 time! (After I'd already heard it at least 50 times by Old Blue Eyes, Perry and Bing, among others since arriving at work for the day.) The damned song was written in 3/4 (or 6/8), and I'm a purist when it comes to performing songs the way they were intended by the composer. So that just really tripped my trigger. I've a good mind to cut the friggin' speaker wires!

I have no clue how to copyright something, nor the time to find out how. Knowing it was well received is satisfaction enough for me. If anyone cares to read it, print it, or whatever, please feel free.

As for the "handle", you all "knew" me under another 'Cat name. I've chosen this new one because it closely relates to my surname IRL. (That'll keep you guessing.) No, my last name doesn't rhyme with fart.

Nappy Hew Year.
