  1. Amazon very much depends on the attitude of the driver, some are excellent, some really couldn't give a feck, Evri are defrauding their customers and their drivers, the scam is to charge the customer one rate for the weight and size of the parcel, then claim it measures and weighs less, so it falls into a lower delivery bracket rate for the drivers, so drivers get paid less for deliveries and run the risk of running overweight if they aren't careful. dhl are again dependent on individual drivers, as are most others, they are all competing in a race to the bottom to be the cheapest service, instead of providing a better service and rising to the top. Royal Mail and Parcelforce already have a well established army of drivers, almost all who know the areas like the back of their own hands, and my local posties have become friends after many years of deliveries, whereas other delivery drivers are a different one each time, often not even able to open a gate or ring a feckin' bell, I have had people bring me parcels that were found in hedges and gateways some distance from my actual address. trying to get a resolution from any of these is a waste of time as the enquiry is handled by ai/ bots who are feckin' useless and just go round in circles that fail to even recognise the problem let alone solve it.
  2. I expect they're too busy stabbing each other in the back, and thinking of new ways to pissoff even more people.
  3. I get mail whenever something has my name and address on it, 7 days a week. always been reliable.
  4. feck corbyn! bring back Vlad The Impaler! now there's a bloke who knows how to deal with his enemies. nothing like a row of severed heads on spikes to remind people what fate awaits if/when they feckup.

  7. It's like not feckin' your girlfriend to keep it tight for the next guy.
  8. but Dave,,, "lessons will be learnt" often involving lifting carpet and discrete but hurried sweeping.
  9. motorised jockey wheel on anything other than perfectly flat concrete is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. the tyres are not aggressive enough, and even if they were they have almost no ground clearance, added to that little or no nose weight and you ain't going nowhere fast. the type that use the trailer wheels are much better as shown by Ty Korrigan are the way to go, but you may need to experiment with tyre types as some are better than others.if you require grip fit a more aggressive tyre pattern, fitting a twin jockey wheel is a great help to in stopping sinking in soft ground. it is possible to with a little back yard ingenuity have the whole thing operated by remote control,, even wireless. I've even seen a set up with a seat and steering bars fitted so you can practically drive it like a trike.
  10. "It's not just me is it?, It can't be"
  11. yep, 'bout another 45 grains would do it properly.
  12. Watch Bob Weir perform ‘Touch of Grey’ at final live appearance with Dead & Company WWW.NME.COM Fans are celebrating the life of Bob Weir by sharing footage from his final performance... “Always a hoot.” @Anno
  13. it's the middle east,,, somethings always kicking off. been like it for over 1500 years. it's in their nature, their dna.
  14. Search engines, google,ebay, and others, anyone else notice how difficult it has become to search for any given item or information without the results being swamped with a myriad of non related items. ask for information on any subject and ai will usually come up with something totally unrelated and inaccurate. it's as if every piece of online information that ever was is placed in one specific place and whatever the search is for ai just takes anything from it and projects it as the answer. as an example I asked ebay to save a search for "TWO MAN OPERATED CHAINSAWS" among some of the totally unrelated items the search sent me were, an action man childs toy, ? and a rusty victorian pram?in addition to anything with SAW in the title. if this is how ai fails on such a simple request,, how confident can we be it won't feckup something far more serious. how reliable will it be using it's own polluted, corrupted view of the world.
  15. never buy a border collie when you're drunk.
