Tuesday question - could you wear all your clothes? I'm pretty sure I couldn't, too many old t-shirts and holy socks. Then again I've never tried wearing 40 pairs of socks at once so who know.s absolutely not. In suits alone that would mean wearing a drysuit, an undersuit, a dinner suit, 2 suit suits and a wetsuit. I’d be dead from heat exhaustion in minutes and quite possibly reach critical mass of fabric density. |

Oof. Pretty sure that is still not socially acceptable. What a monster. Probably* steals coins from the Scope collection boxes to fund his Amiga addiction. *definitely |

Speaking of small potential humans, I'm currently having trouble fighting for their right to join consumerism and acquire a suitably materialistic attitude. It doesn't even involve soon-to-be-trillionaire Jeff and his $2,489 per second. The Animal Crossing Limited Edition Switch that I got for my eldest granddaughter is (allegedly) stuck in a Hermes depot since May 7th. The last tracking update for the parcel was that it had been delayed (for unspecified reasons) and that Hermes would have it "on the move within the next 24 hours". Now it turns out that Hermes doesn't know the difference between 24 hours and 24 days.
Since Hermes is incommunicado all I could do last week is turn to the Nintendo UK Store aka The Hut Group Customer Service. They assured me that they had notified the Nintendo Ninjas of their internal courier investigation team. Yesterday I found out that the ninjas haven't yet managed to infiltrate the Hermes depot which I now picture to look like the facilities in Portal 2. They are effectively being stone walled by a Greek god. A light Google reveals that we are not the only ones in this situation although it is better than the usual scam whereby the parcel never arrives but is marked as delivered on the system.
Then last night Hermes invited me to take a customer satisfaction survey and write a TrustPilot review. Well, they asked for it.
In my review I mentioned the following little segment from a Channel 4 show that I wasn't familiar with before. It's quite informative although I could have done without the mental image of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen on the throne. Why they didn't involve the police I don't know either. The name of the auction house is blurred out but Pref. Mam. immediately recognised it as Biddle & Webb where his father bought Victorian furniture (most of which is now in our house) when the family moved from the US to Birmingham in the 60s.

Tuesday question - could you wear all your clothes? Mis-read that as "could you all wear clothes". I'm wfh, so the answer is a no from me. |

Oof. Pretty sure that is still not socially acceptable. Calling someone a Joey that is. Would saying he was a "Monica" be better or worse? |

tenthenemy : I reckon this is more accurate ... I wanted to sleep, then eat after Mr Torquemada had finished, but Bezzers Boys have done their usual trick of taking 3 items bought on the same day with delivery option "Amazon Day delivery Thursday" and amalgamate deliveries preference checked and I see that delivery will be 2.45 - 5.45... and currently 6.00 - 9.00. It's a 4tb external backup drive... the extra long cable I need gets delivered on Thursday (or Wednesday)... And after an early start this morning my bed gets serviced tomorrow at 8 a.m., so to get through my routine by then will mean getting up at 5.30 a.m. ...

Probably one of crankcaller's ancestors wearing a fur coat too drunk to get home on 2 legs.* * crankcaller that is; the coat could've managed it. |

In other news someone dropped off a work laptop with remote access. This means I may not have to go back till we're properly open.

Great example of best practice staff welfare practices. |

Hello
This evening, whilst watching TV. the RCD tripped and plunged us into tv less, wi-fi less, semi-darkness. By a process of elimination I narrowed the problem down to the kitchen circuits and finally to the gas cooker (electric ignition obvs).
The offending device has now been unplugged. No problem I thought, I can always light the gas manually until we can get it fixed. Which is fine for the gas rings and the grill (which also serves as a small oven). Unfortunately the gas supply to the main oven appears to need electricity to operate.

My wife was expecting a package today from Amazon, via UPS, which never arrived.
When she tried to track it via UPS website, it was recorded as out for delivery at 08:20 am this morning. By 08:30 pm it was listed as "Delayed, due to adverse weather conditions"
Too warm and sunny today, so couldn't be arsed attempting a delivery perhaps?

No doubt it will eventually turn up D.O.A. |

My backup drive arrived at 8 pm, I ate, slept and now feel awful; I checked Jeff's delivery tracking and see that ANOTHER order has detached itself and will be delivered tomorrow instead of Turdsday...
