parcel farce .. Drop off parcel , status still showing awaiting drop off. Classic line of we're not the same company so havent got a scooby where your parcel is try the parcel farce depot. ( parcel farce depot havent a clue either)

Wait 3 days and get back to us.. my gripe is that I paid for a 2day delivery

Other people in Sainsburys. Empty isle, the honey I wanted was on a lower shelf so I have to bob down to choose a "normal" variety (as in not Japenese Knotweed and Orange Blossom ) when I suddenly find a trolley right beside my ear. And I mean RIGHT up against it. Tutting middle aged woman glaring at me so I get up and move aside. She snatches some Cinamon and Builders Bucket or similar bottle from the middle shelf and strolls on muttering "**** head" loud enough for most of the people around to hear. I don't normally do such things but I enjoyed shouting after her about how rude was and how most people like to hear the words please and thank you when one would like to get past. Could have gone either way but thankfully everyone else was smirking at her.

No wonder I try to get through places like that early on a Saturday before they get busy...

I avoid shopping on the weekend for food. Lucky it wasn't Waitrose or they would have had the butler kicking you!

My hair has decided to dredlock itself overnight. This is going to take a while to sort out. The lilac should wash out, well that's what it said on the can...

The **** on a GSXR750 on the A12 this afternoon. Came past us at about 100mph in the fog, caught him at the Copdock interchange traffic lights, where he proceeded to wheelie away from, not very well either.

Black visor, so he wouldn't see much in the fog

He won't last long, another statistic in the making

Took the battery out to charge it, blew the main fuse putting it back in.
That's alright, I'll swap in the spare.

Blew that putting it in.

Now got to walk to a motor spares shop.

Bloody previous owner replaced the battery with one that can go in the writing by way round!!! I should have worn my specs when I put it back in!!!!!!!

Parcel Farce again .. seems everyone in the royal mail group is teflon coated. ( if I hear the phrase 'we're not the same company' despite taking parcels and sending them on I going to go nuts)

There's one company to lose the parcels, then there's another company to answer the phones and tell you that they're not the same company

Hearing the family and friends of the Greater Manchester PC Dave Phillips at his funeral.
