Something completely different

[tree_and_leaf]

Dear Deutsche Bahn,

it's awfully nice of you to send me an e- birthday card-cum-prize-competition - but couldn't you have done something which doesn't involve a pretty small girl in an old fashioned frock with a lovely balloon, thus giving me screaming flashbacks to Sister of Mine in Human Nature?

Love,

a slightly traumatised tree_and_leaf.


On another note, I'm trying not to post about the DW season finale until I've actually seen it, but this has not stopped me starting to write (sort of fix it) Donna fic, which I will hopefully have the self control not to post. Don't worry, though, however bad it is, it definitely won't involve a sentimental death scene in which our heroine expires, damp eyed, in a sparkle of gold and her poor aching head in Ten's lap...

A very happy belated happy birthday to you! My mind's a sieve these days.

And at least they didn't forget you. *winces*

My apprentice kept muttering "Pop that damn balloon" throughout the entire episode....

Thank you! And don't worry - I am awful at remembering birthdays, too.

I must admit DB have done better than the British railways, who can't even be bothered to send you a reminder that your railcard is about to run out....

I will if it doesn't turn out to be embarassingly bad (not garunteed)

[tree_and_leaf]

Absolutely. It couldn't have been that difficult, surely?

At least they didn't send you a card with a little gasmask kid!

Well, true, that occured to me as well, but I doubt that even DB would think that was in good taste!

Stone angels would also have been mildly worrying, come to think of it.
