It’s over for Tay
is over and done for another year. I didn’t watch it and I don’t care. Taylor Swift got booed for good reason and that’s that. The half time show, (if you can call it that) ..well the less said about it the better. These things are modern day bread and circuses for the plebians and they eat it up like candy. There was the mandatory rioting etc etc…It’s all so tiresome.
I’ll tell you what is tiresome. Dealing with terminally stupid people down under. Recently I was asked to verify my identity for something I’m involved in Australia. Apparently this some government requirement. All I had to do was go to a notary public here and get them to certify a document…sounds easy. I’ve done this before with no problems. This time the morons who put together this rule have decided that they want specific wording on the notarized document. The only problem with this is that a notary here is forbidden by law to word it in a specific way. In Australia one cannot simply swear an oath that what they are presenting to be notarized is a genuine document, they must find a superior, more exulted being from the caste system ask them if they would be so gracious as to validate one’s existence.
Be that a policeman a judge, a dentist etc etc. It’s not good enough for a regular person to vouch for him or her self, they must go cap in hand and be validated by someone who has a respected profession and the qualifications that go with it.
It’s this kind of British class system garbage that infects life down there. It’s one of the reasons I left the place. Not everyone is deemed to be equal like they are here. Some are more equal than others. If you’re King for example, you’re the best of the best, which is patently ridiculous and medieval.
It’s good to be King
To add to the egregiousness of this sorry situation, I kept telling these idiots repeatedly that what they were asking for was impossible to deliver. If you read the Wikipedia entry on Notaries in the US, it states specifically that in New York “they are strictly forbidden to certify “true copies” of documents.” That’s what these idiots kept asking me to get them to do. I was sent a curt email by some fool telling me it was “standard practice” here. It’s not of course, but as I have said many times, a lot of Australians think they know everything, and these particular imbeciles fell into that category. I was beginning to wonder if they were even Australians at some point because their responses were starting to sound like “Microsoft Tech Support”.
I had to c/p the wikipedia page and send it to them so it would finally sink in to their impossibly thick skulls. Who writes legislation demanding specific wording for documents that are legally unable to be obtained in this country? The place seems to be full of retards. Offering no apology whatsoever they told me I would have to schlep off to the Aussie Consulate in NYC, where they’ll probably charge me a fee and may not even be able to fulfill that same request in the first place. For the record, most of the people I have been dealing with in this fucking sorry mess have Indian names. Make of that what you will.
