Yes I'm fine with it, with some caveats. You could argue that delivering Amazon parcels on a zero-hours contract is more exploitative than doing cam or phone work from home, for example.

You could probably earn more on a cam. Well... not you specifically.

I don't think I've ever seen the same Amazon delivery driver more than once.

Rajesh brought me an Amazon Echo last night on his little scooter and I thought of you, mypsy.

That would be quite fun I think. Better than driving through the centre of Loughborough in a big Mercedes where it's all double yellow lines and a one-way system.

Derbyshire villages are my favourite. The local pubs will take customer parcels and always loads of places to park.

Keep drinking Chris, I've got a free afternoon.

Oh, funny. I've had three beers and I'm now off to bed.

It's genuinely shocking how far the world has moved on in such a short space of time. I don't think people often sit back and really consider the implications for human relationships, interactions and culture of the fact that not fifteen years ago your best bet of communicating with someone was a letter that would take several days to get to them, and so a response might take a couple of weeks. But now? Now the world is so much smaller, relationships can be maintained where once they might have withered from something mighty to next to nothing, like a decades old elm with a filthy foreign disease. Now though? Now? It's a thing of absolute beauty. One of mankind's most amazing achievements - the world is so much smaller than it used to be. Now the world is just as small as your room or as big as your imagination. Now? Now I can sit here on the other side of the world and say:

MYP!

MYP!

YOU'RE A CUNT!

And it's instant.

Hooters is rubbish anyway. At least it is in Nottingham.

I love you man.

And there was a crown for the BEER KING.

You're drunk. Get away from me.

Tell me more!

iii) Let's not talk about members of the Lane Two Owner's Club.

People who jam themselves into my gap with the car in front taking my braking distance.

Braking distance for slowing down though, not for immediate stop, right? Can’t imagine a busy motorway with enough room for full distance.

Yeah, but the car in front isn't coming to a stop instantly, it's slowing down too. So you might not need the full 100m, but a bit of space is nice (says the non-driver)

Whenever I get frustrated on the road by somebody else's driving, I tend to think that I've probably done stuff to annoy other road users as well and if nobody's hurt just carry on.

It's often impossible not to. Braking distances at motorway speeds (being generous and saying that's 70mph) are just over 100 meters. That's a long way.

That's because you're in the middle lane.

I meant more people who swerve into lanes at the last minute e.g. to overtake something because they've not anticipated that need earlier taking my definitely-not-100m-space. If someone indicates in good time and the gap is an 'unhealthy' size I'll happily accommodate.

So he's grown on you?

‘Long lost barley’

Actually, that's a thing. Cras and I watched a programme about how people were discovering old crop seeds and reintroducing them.

Fucked if I know how it might help diabetes, though.

Penis drawn with a Growler!
