# the on-hold music played forever waiting to contact citizen's advice sucks they have what must be the most bs on-hold tune ever like it's the beginning of some hopelessly pleasant heartfelt high adventure featuring super positive existential vibes i don't know what citizens were thinking but ten whole minutes of that bs on repeat and one starts to go quietly batshed; the tune is also just catchy enough in it's 'korporate lift muzak lite' aspect that you even start whistling along with it - even breaking into a little dance that is all while all-too painfully aware of the two tier nature of modern society in england where the rich get what they want virtually instantly and every other poor mug has to grit ir teeth and wait in line like an obedient worker slave another five minutes of that tune however and i was rapidly reaching my tolerance for systematically underfunded uk public utilities and services in other news i sure hope half life 3 comes out so i can continue ignoring reality am thinking of asking big gabe for £420m to develop alternative imagination network 'republic of bob' // republic of bob
