TV, mostly

I haven't watched Heroes in two weeks. I've been sort of sucked in by the Devil's Whore and Casualty. They have - acting? Acting where you can tell what might happen sometimes from what people are doing and how they look at each other and stuff? And plotlines that make some sense? I'd forgotten about that a bit. I'm going to catch up with Heroes eventually. It might take some kind of Angela-Peter-Sylar taskforce. I'll probably catch up. At some point.

The Devil's Whore finishes tomorrow, I think. I think things I like will happen. I barely dare to hope. It's a shame though, because it broke up the week nicely. Ah well. I only have one more week left at work anyway.

Tonight on Emmerdale, Matthew convinced the fiancee whose father he secretly caused the death of to give him some money to keep his business afloat. Possibly he really was reluctant to ask, possibly he wanted to seem that way so she'd be more likely to give it to him. I love how awful he is. It's a bit great. It turns out he told Carl about the whole thing the day after her father died, and they sort of discussed it and the best way to handle a secret accidental murder. The King boys are a bit great. I may have mentioned that before. They remain that way.

Jobseeker's.

I've got a letter from the Jobseeker's Allowance people saying they cannot pay me for the period I was out of work after October 27th. They say they can't pay me because, and I quote:

• "you have not given us the information we asked you for.
  
  If you do not give us the information we ask you for we cannot pay you an allowance."

They do not at any point say WHAT the information they have asked for and I haven't given is. Which I don't think was mentioned in any of the appointments I had.

When I went to my last appointment on the Friday before I started this current job, the man said they would probably pay me something "by Wednesday". That was three weeks ago. And now this. To be honest, I'm not entirely impressed with the current Jobseeker's benefits system.
