Gym again tonight, 5 empty rows of spaces and this Pcp white S3 hindering everyone parking normally. Should have left a note saying 'Park on the treadmill next time, cunt.'

I think you should have gone to the foyer to tell them to ask on the tannoy that it’s been backed into the side of and the drivers fucked off. And you didn’t take the registration number down as you were bent double laughing at the time.

Not a huge grump in the greater scheme of things,but today I decided to give my Golf a wash as it was extremely grimy(one of the downsides of living in the sticks).

Gave it a good going over with the shampoo,rinsed it off,then dried it off too.

Jobs a goodun.

Went in for a cuppa and returned out to this.

Wife update: she's home!  Minus gallbladder, but plus a big line of staples across her tum.  She hasn't enjoyed hospital but really, who does?  I'm just glad to have her back.

Great to hear Eddie, hope you can both rest up for a bit.

Now those of you who have me on Facebook may have seen I've been having some trouble with DHL.

Parcel was to be delivered on a certain date. I wasn't going to be home so changed the date (and got a confirmation)

Get home to a note wedged in the front door (HELLO EVERYONE THIS HOUSE IS EMPTY) ... But yeah the note said parcel was in green bin.

Checked both bins - Nada. 

Tracking says to be delivered the date I asked for ... i'm confused, so email DHL.

They pass my email onto depot and say 'we'll be in touch'

Today a delivery bloke turns up with a piece of paper in hand and starts asking me questions 🤦‍♂️, now don't get me wrong I understand they want to find out what's happened, but I just found this approach a bit too confrontational, why the depot couldn't have got a statement from him, then contacted me via email or phone 🤷‍♂️

Good job I was home, as my missus panics a bit when random folk rattle the door.

eBay made me sign a legally binding statement enforceable in court to confirm I'd received a return not in the condition I'd sent it 

Then refused the claim because they couldn't check it wasn't in the condition I'd sent it or it was even the same one 

So much for the legally binding statement then

So we have to book our Christmas leave for the third time in the morning. 

I asked if they could guarantee we wouldn't have to rebook again.

"Absolutely not" 


I just responded 'reassuring'. 

What are these people on. It's not even our fault ffs.

Lots of people have been through lots of things. There is always a reason for the panic and sometimes it's very justifiable.

When the door is rattled (not knocked on, but given some beans) even startles me a bit.

But yeah we've had some odd folk knock on the door in the past, so she's always a bit wary.

My wife's usually a bit tired too! 😃

However, we're the same - if we're not expecting someone any caller is pretty likely to be a nuisance or a neighbour.

Or maybe word has got round, since a few years back Jehovah's Witnesses rang the doorbell about 10am one Sunday and got a mouthful from me for waking me up! You'd think closed curtains in both front rooms of a bungalow would be a hint.

Well I kindly emailed DHL about yesterday, asked them to keep it strictly email or phone.

And I get I reply this morning saying he's 'coming back to resolve this matter today' 

Wow 🤦‍♂️

It is about WW1, so near enough armistice day, although they probably don’t even know that.

The last time this happened was in 2004. This is because the fucking cunts buzzed at 08:30. On a Sunday. I'd gone to bed at 04:30 because late shifts. 

So I asked who it was; might have been a neighbour in need of help. It wasn't, so I told the to fuck off and called them inconsiderate cunts for not taking into account shift workers. 

Cunts like that can get in the fucking sea. 😇

Jehovah's Witnesses haven't been knocking on door since COVID started, so when it's deemed OK to go out again they'll be back. Sorry to give you the bad news.

My grump today is that I can't get the replacement headlight to fit. Not sure if poor aftermarket fit or I'm doing something wrong.

I don't suppose they'll be vaccinated because they think blood transfusions are the devil's curse, because well, this is the second coming. Or something.

I tried “ sorry I’m a Catholic “ thinking they’d say “ ok , we respect that, bye”, but no, they go “that’s interesting …”, thinking you want to start a religious discussion.

Drop it, Hide it, Lose it need to FRO.

What's to resolve? Have you got my parcel? No? Well go through your established procedures then.

This is completely unacceptable and has a possible aggressive manner to it.

I found it equally profitable to keep them on the doorstep whilst asking all kinds of trivial questions. After about 35 minutes they seemed desperate to get away....

Living in an Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood, I don't see Witlesses much now. Come to think of it, I don't even get visits from the local rabbi since I took the mezuzah off the door frame....

Fortunately it fixed itself after I closed and re-opened my browser. The latest update is playing some weird games with my elderly machine.
