  • And then someone bumps the photos thread ffs.

    Going to be a bad day...
  • Sky Arts only having permission (from the band) to show 15 minutes of ‘highlights’ from the Depeche Mode set at IoW festival last night.

    They found 15 minutes of highlights?
    Fuck me, really?
    Of a depeche mode set?
    Jesus H Christ and I thought the takeover thread had got surreal!!
  • Short fat greaser in a black bmw 6 series convertible dawdling along at 45 mph in the 3rd lane of 4 on the M25 at 11 in the morning.
    Where to start?
    How about the 3.5 mile queue you were causing as cogent road users had to wait to take turns to overtake your fat worthless arse and all the HGV's that can't use the 4th lane all lined up behind you
    Your bewildered reaction as my passenger lent out of the window and bellowed instructions, then obscenities at you was priceless.
    obviously choosing a 6 series convertible alerts the world to your cuntishness to start with
    driving on a sunny day at 45 mph with the roof up underlines that heavily
    Your continued existence is an offence to all and must end as soon as possible
    Give the car to charity, then do the decent thing and jump down a very deep hole where nobody will find you and your blight on humanity can be terminated.

    Please tell me he had Depeche Mode blaring out on the stereo?
  • Royal Mail parcel delivery: liars and crooks all

    look up tracking information - 'parcel was delivered to ...address... at 10:37'
    It's 10:38, I'm at ...address.. and no there was no post
    RM "if the parcel doesn't require a signature, you'll have to contact the sender/vendor, nothing we can do, item not considered lost until minimum 10 working days after expected delivery:"
    'this isn't just late, you've told me you delivered it - you haven't, so wtf?'
    "nothing we can do, contact the sender/vendor"
    transpires 48 hours later that "delivered" could just mean it's probably at the last sorting/delivery office whence it will be brought to the final intended destination - apparently bringing it to the recipient not important
    this morning I watch the parcel delivery van arrive in the street, operative jumps out with red card in hand, saunters up to my front door and is shocked when I open the door through which he is pushing said card, ready filled out with "you were out, come and get your thing at your own inconvenience"
    'explain this then'
    "thought you'd be y'know at work or smthn"
    'why would you think that?'
    "most people are"
    'where's my parcel?'
    "depot"
    'why?'
    "...erm..."
    'have I got to phone someone to sort this out?'
    "I'll bring it tomorrow"
    'try again'
    "What?"
    'not tomorrow - today - btw tracking says you delivered this 2 days ago, care to explain that one? - today will be fine'
    "you're joking"
    'nope'
    I have my parcel. Brought 30 minutes later by a different operative.
    Said parcel is birthday card sized and weighs 2 ounces, why the vendor sent it parcel post is weird/unique but RM parcels is a shambles staffed by pisstakers.

    That's pretty shocking, i had it before where they didn't knock and just left the card even though i've been in, but never dreamed they wouldn't actually bring the parcel! I just don't see what they achieve by not having the parcel, the van, driver and cards are already on the route, why not stick the parcel in for good measure!?

    My 21 year old stepson and his bird are expecting a child, they both live in a caravan on her dads property, and because the van is not a registered address they are officially homeless.
    Because she is pregnant and both homeless, they are at the top of the queue for a council house/flat.
    Anyway they applied for one but didn't get it, they queried why and were told that because she isn't 24 weeks yet (the legal cut off for termination) they dont apply for a home until she is over 24 weeks.
    The reason is that historically pregnant couples have been given a house under 24 weeks and then some get a termination .......therefore using the unborn, now terminated baby to obtain the property on the quick.
    Now I dont consider myself naive in any way shape or form but It has seriously shocked me that some scum would get pregnant, obtain a council property and then terminate a pregnancy.

    It's not because of getting a termination.
    It's, in all the housing depts I have worked in, because until the child is born the need isn't actual. This is part of housing law.
    So certainly in the last 20 years or more the tenancy wouldn't be granted until after the birth. So a termination or miscarriage would stop the granting of a tenancy if it's being considered because of a child being born.

    The council should publish their lettings policy on line.
    Maybe they should speak to CAB or Shelter.
    To me it sounds like an ill informed comment from a council employee or a misunderstanding. Either way independent advice and support sounds like something they would benefit from.

    Still rough but made the race. Cracking recovery from Lewis and a fantastic atmosphere at the circuit.
