I don't see anywhere in that post that he's said anything even approaching negative about the driver? I realise this will hit close to home for you but you seem to be responding to stuff Kov hasn't said.

I wasn't saying he was. I was explaining why they won't give out the driver's details.

They could have contacted the driver, but chose not to.

They might have tried. I've had support tried calling me before but I've either been driving or delivering so ignored it.

The annoying part, is i am 200m from one of their delivery shops,, if only i could ask for a redirect

I had the opposite problem with UPS the other day. I wasn't in when they tried to deliver something, so rather than attempt redelivery, they left it at a 'convenient' UPS point. Unfortunately, this was only convenient for them and not me, as it's an hour's round trip on foot so I ended up getting a taxi.

my hermes customer service rang me.. Apparently it is my fault for ordering a parcel to be delivered when I am at work . Also the myhermes shop, is not for storing parcels, but I can send parcels there. Also it is acceptable to leave with a stranger but not a secure shop....

After the call, my son said that man is an idiot.

Admittedly I chose that hobby over wearing a heavy woolen uniform at a reenactment but those brambles had to go.

On a local Facebook page, people sometimes moan about their recycling not being collected. The solution seems to be to put a naked woman in with it.

Then plaster a big 6 on her (though I'm sure Mali would say she's a 10).

We are chicken herders, or whatever the term is!

A Rhode Rock, a Bluebell and a Ranger that we've called Wattle, Daub and Thatch.

Herding chickens is awesome, but three eggs a day is something we weren't prepared for after a week, a first egg on the very first day in their new home was surprising enough.

I’m please to announce that the swifts have just arrived.

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10078

We've been seeing them for a couple of weeks. Everything else is a month late, the swifts were a month early.

The weather is properly fucked.

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Yes, they’re a couple of days later than last year, but they ARE pretty consistent.

They lay every day as long as they've got food.

They were only 18 weeks old when we got them, barely into the start of laying window. None of the three breeds is expected to lay more then 300 a year, but opinion does seem to be that they need to be reasonably happy on top of being fed.

I need chickens. With my increased workouts and thus need for cheap protein I'm getting through 3-4 eggs a day.

We had hard-boiled eggs for breakfast in the office pantry today. It was like fucking Cool Hand Luke down there, with people strolling off with bowls piled with 7-8 eggs. What are they going to do with that many eggs?
