Stoopid Postie


So this morning I wander downstairs to make myself some breakfast and pick up the post from the doormat and what do I find?  A card saying that the postman tried to deliver a parcel at 7.05 this morning and couldn't 'cos... well he didn't tick ny of the boxes, so I don't know.  Anyway - I was sitting up in bed reading a Batman comic at 7.05 and the basserd definitely didn't ring the doorbell like he's supposed to, so now I have to traipse all the way over to Patchway Depot to pick up my parcel.


This comes just 48 hours after discovering that the very same postman had been stockpiling our parcels for about 3 weeks at the depot without putting a friggin' card through the door.  The only reason we found out that they had 6 parcels behind the desk for us was that he'd actully bothered to leave us a card for one of them on Thursday (he probably had the day off and someone else was covering his round)...  the lady behind the counter at the Depot recognised our address and told us that she had a whole pile of parcels for us!


Apparently the whole parcel delivery system in the UK is reliant on one lady at Patchway postal depot recognising addresses!  So if you're expecting a parcel and it hasn't turned up, give me a shout and I'll go and ask the Post Depot Lady for you!


D'oh!

no no silly, if you look closely you will see no return address on the back, which indicates they are all personal letters sent directly to you (altho none from the usa, they like to put return addresses on i believe)

Yes, but we like to put our return addresses on the front.

Not only that Katie, but he should also keep in mind that there's more than meets the eye.

Question Katherine, did your keyboard ship with a shift key?

nate dear, are you asking because i am so individual as to never capitalise anything?   .. answer: it didn't ship, i picked it up

Okay, the semantics of how the keyboard in front of you came to be there, yes. So I'm wondering if it's your individuality or the uniqueness of your keyboard?


I think you may have just answered this.
