Parcel Force are c**ts

curios?

He's wack for nick-nacks...

curios?

yeah. like curious but the spelling is slightly different

Don't get any poo particles near your eyes, apparently it gives you pink eye.

Weird: my cat is called Pinky. So I could get pink-eye from Pinky?
probably get TB off her too cos she's so fucking working class.

And rickets...

don't forget weils disease

Pickets? Scum bags, I remember the 70s, they ruined this country, holding it to ransom, thank god for Maggie. That Scargill, he was a nonce you know. They all are.

I suspect that Will moves beyond the more mundane classifications of Marxist-Lenninist-Maoist-Trotskyite theory and is a true anarchist.

Named after Pinky Brown?

That Scargill, he was a nonce you know.

Is he still a 'nonce' ?

Parcel Force? Try good old-fashioned Royal Mail - got home around lunchtime and opened the door to find a set of tyres (non-foldable) sat on my welcome mat. After a 'how the fuck?' moment it dawned on me that the postie had put them through the letterbox.

Yes - it dawned on me when I took them out of their packaging and found that the wire beading had been bent to fuck, and it looks like I'll have some difficulty fitting them to a rim now.

Knob cheese wank dick arse fuggers...

Named after Pinky Brown?

No, named after her glow-in-the-dark nose when I found her as a stray.

She's not a teenaged force of evil from 1930s Brighton then?

my favorite book.
i like the film too.

Parcel Force is Royal Mail

If you want something delivered to you on a plate make sure you are around to accept it

Parcel Farce is Royal Fail

Fixed.

my favorite book.
i like the film too.

The book is the better of the two. It is one of Graham Green's finest. The Power and the Glory is my other favourite.

When growing up, Pinky Brown was my hero and role model.

Came home at 2, went back to bed. Can't afford to drink

feeling unwell?

there be a bug going round, so I am told. I feel shitty today.

otherwise, you could have worked until 5 and earned some money to buy drink.

Not that I condone work or drink, it seems those who do copious amounts of one are forced by circumstance to do copious amounts of t'other.

Are you saying Royal Mail are perfectly justified in trying to force something through my letterbox that's well over 4 times the size of the opening, subsequently damaging it, by virtue of the fact I wasn't there to open the door?

Named after Pinky Brown?

Preferable to a brown pinky...
...or is it?

feeling unwell?

No, just feeling pissed off at earning less than the minimum wage; it's not been a great week. My stock response to problems is to go back to bed.

Has there been a marked drop off in courier work since the markets crashed?

What I don't understand is that Mercian must send bikes worth up to £2500+ so they must put a lot of trust into their delivery system. So if these cunts are unreliable why use them? Or are all delivery companies this bad?

exactly, was it not insured?

There was a noticeable down turn in Feb/March when it became clear that things were going to get worse. Picked up slightly at the start of Sept when people came back from holiday but has since been dire. This week especially so but next week could be better; courier work is always up and down for various reasons but the year long picture is bad and I expect it to stay that way. Most of our work is media/advertising and people are clearly not spending money.
Anyone looking to buy a kidney? Would suit older cyclist.

What really surprises me about this thread is that noone has used it as a cue to rant about the appalling standard of Post Office drivers. And since my brother works for the PO and deals with van repair I know it's not just me being paranoid. In Manchester the vans get damaged in collisions with trams. Well, those trams do move about erratically.

One of the first things that companies cut down on when the economic outlook is uncertain is advertising spend. Sadly I can see the current malaise spreading from banking throughout the commercial sector. There will be significant redundancies. No one is doing deals at present other than through necessity. On a brighter side, hopefully people will start suing everyone is sight very soon.
