It saddens me to add them but…..The Royal Mail.

What an absolutely useless, dishonest joke of a company they have become.

A first class stamp no longer guarantees next day delivery (or the day after that in some cases) And this is despite a First Class stamp now cost a ridiculous £1.65!
Not so long ago we used to get two deliveries a day. Now we get one despite the ever rising charges.
Not so long ago you could reasonably predict what time the postman would arrive but now it’s totally random.

I recently had a new router delivered from Sky but we weren’t in. They said that it would be delivered the next day…it wasn’t. We phoned and arranged a delivery. It didn’t show up. I’m still waiting on a complaint about this. It’s been over a week so far.

Three days ago I got an email saying that RM had delivered a package (a book that i’d ordered) I got home….no package….no book!

I don’t know anyone that has a good word to say about Royal Mail.

UK gov now considers porridge junk food and has banned porridge adverts for children

Phone prices are insane Tani. I’ve never owned a new phone tbh and the most I’ve payed was for my current one which was £200 and I cried for a week after paying that.

[Tani]

How am I meant to pay upfront for a phone?

Who can pay 1.5k for a phone?

I want to own my things, not rent them ffs. Everything we own is not really owned, we're constantly paying for it. It's ridiculous. I want to pay for everything upfront and just... have it

[FISHY1118]

You guys do realize that they just twist off, there not hard . Just a helpful hint.


Oops sorry GIrl/ Guy.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Yes, me too Tani. I cut them off.

Did I already say I HATE these?? Attached lids!!

Hi Mike.

I probably should have posted this 'irritant' elsewhere, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.

I don't want to criticize the prosecution, because I fully understand and agree with their concern, but it could be that they overreached and charged Prussak with more serious crimes than could be definitively proven. But it is indeed jaw dropping that the jury thew out all of it and didn't find him guilty of at least the lesser charges.

I hope this is the last we hear of him, but I shudder to think that it won't be. Having read a lot of 'true crime,' leniency or avoidance of justice only tends to embolden a certain type of offender, if offender he intended to be.

Hi Roger,

I completely agree. Did this creep have OJ’s Legal Team behind him? Let’s hope that in a few years time when they’re finding bodies you don’t have reason to post a link to post number 176 of this thread.

That’s a jaw-dropper Roger. Let’s hope that some disaster befalls this guy before he meets his next victim. The Judge and jury should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a re-trial and an inquiry.

You make that seem like a negative thing, Tani.

c.d.

Regardless, I don't think they should do it around children

'Halloween is for children.'

Women proceed to wear the sluttiest costumes going.

You make that seem like a negative thing, Tani.

i know im gonna get lambasted for this but ive always liked oasis. theyre a big hot mess, alot of songs are nice little pop ditties with many verging on the rawer side, fighting brothers, huge band at one point.etc

plus i liked other bands from the genre including blur. it was all just a tad different, maybe the allure of something a little new.

their stuff is nothing groundbreaking but at least they are interesting.

however imho they and most other contemp bands way pale in comparison to the main new(ish) genre at the time... Grunge, which imho was the last great genre of rock.

Amen on that last sentence
