The feeling of being acknowledged

I sent an email to BBC regarding their show "Test the nation" about a month back. Basically I complained about one of the question along these lines "Mother Teresa was taking care of the sick and needy in India, but what was her nationality?" The answer they gave was "Albanian". Which is incorrect because since 1950 she had adopted Indian nationality, she held an Indian diplomatic passport.

The website said they will contact me in 10 days, which they failed to do, and I had already given up on them about two weeks ago. I thought it's not a pressing matter probably they just didn't care.

However I just received an email from BBC this morning. Here's the cut and paste:

Dear Monica,

Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding Test the Nation: The 20th Century Test.

I contacted the production team in response to your concerns regarding Mother Tereza's passport. It seems you are correct. The programme makers concede this was an error on thier part and they should have made it clear in the question that they were referring to her nationality at birth. They send their apologies and thank you for bringing the matter to their attention.

Thank you for contacting BBC Information.

I said to myself, WOW!!! So they do look into these matters! It made me feel good not only to find out I was right, but to know that my voice was being heard.

Sorry for doubting you, BBC, I'm so proud of you.. and thank you!

On that note, me and Nagi is having a bet. This clueless guy who thinks he knows a lot about cricket said that Australia will win the rest of the Natwest one day international matches with England and Bangladesh. Note for those who don't follow cricket, Australia is indeed the best in currently in the world of cricket, yet they had lost both their first matches against England and Bangladesh. Yes, AND BANGLADESH, I repeat.

The bet was, if he's right, I'll do his laundry for a month, hang and dry it and the lot. If I'm right (i.e. Australia will lose at least ONE game), he will do the back garden, a long-awaited task which has been delayed. There's a part of our back garden which is too far from the house that the lawnmower cannot touch it. That part needs some attention.

I'm putting the bet here because I know I'm going to win, just like I know I was right about Mother Teresa's nationality.

He should have realised, Australia did not even win against Somerset last week :p Oh, yes, and Bangladesh! :p Oh I'm so going to win this bet!!! *doing the conga*

I should have done another bet: England is going to win this one day series. :D
But I think that's a bit pushy and with Australia as one of the opponent, anything could happen. However I do think England is capable of winning the series.

Go England!! *aja aja fighting!!!*
