This is a question Little Victories

I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

Absurdly yours is a book of letters to highup/famous people with absurd points and the author frequently
gets much too personal with the other person (well often theyre secretary. Some of the business/government ones are irish institutions but you'd still get a giggle out of them. There's plenty of letters to uk public figures so don't let that put you off.

Off topic but a newsletter section where we (well rob or whoever writes the newslwetter) do this every would be week pretty cool

Thanks!
I will check this out. The last one I read was a very funny letter sent to Richard Branson regarding one of his flights.

Also that idea would be grand, maybe e-mail Rob and see what he thinks. Or a new section could go up, people could have a lot of fun with that, perfect example was SLVA's letter to honda.

If you like that sort of book
You have to read "The Timewaster letters" by Robin Cooper. He writes to everyone - publishers, public figures, law societies, trade magazines etc. purely for the purpose of wasting as much time and as many resources as humanly possible, often through the means of ludicrous inventions and ridiculous business proposals.

As
long as it's amusing as well, sounds good!

Yep
His correspondance with Dorling Kindersley is amazing - he tries to get them to accept his (ludicrous) children's fiction and every time they show any interest in a particular story, he claims to have shredded it due to perfectionism. This goes on for about three months before they finally give up.
