Waiting for packages!

I woke up early this morning because I'm waiting for my Razer mouse to arrive. I also did the same yesterday. I fear it won't arrive today, so I'll have to do the same tomorrow. This is why I get my games through digital distribution, but there's no downloading a mouse - just have to wake up early and pray the postie has it in his bag

EDIT - IT'S HERE!

I missed a package on saturday recorded delivery because the postie came at 9:15am for the first time in months, he's usually 11:30 nowadays, I arrange for it to be redelivered online, today and I get up at 9, and oh look, its 11:30, no post yet.

I'm not sure what the problem is? There's no such thing as a timed delivery, not unless you pay hundreds of pounds a month anyway, the post gets there when it gets there nowadays, sadly.

Oh and the online redelivery service is ****. Half the time that doesn't filter through to the office for another day, meaning by the time they get the request locally to redeliver, it's already too late.

People who begin a sentence with so. Eg. So, I bought <insert product> from <insert shop>.

Unnecessary.

I'm totally on board with this one - very irritating.

The Redknapps supposedly booking their holidays at Thomas Cook irks me.

The pedant in me dislikes the use of PAL to describe a UK version of a handheld console.
Sorry.

I think it can be ok when used as a chatty connective to keep the continuity. I've used it myself a few times (but always grimaced while doing it). But I've never understood it's use as a post-opener.

I've never understood egregious apostrophe abuse.

The other one is if I miss the postie on a Saturday morning. He usually delivers between 11.30 and midday. Then I see a slip that says it will be available for collection from the post office in 3 hours. That would be ok except for the post office closing at 12.30 on Saturdays. Why can't he just say 'Monday'?

And add me to the ones who hate that new Halifax ad. That guys face is just sooooooooooo punchable and her voice makes me want my size 10 stellies to meet her face with incredible velocity.

Hmph.

One irk is having an old greasy hippie, who will undoubtedly have had an easy day, pick up on a rare flaw from a tired poster.

[Paulos G]

I had a very busy day I'll have you know!

Irk: greasy old rockers who find any excuse to plug their blog.

These days its either too hard so the bog roll is covered in blood after the turd has split me in half, or its too soft that it smears all over my arse, or its all tacky so it sticks to my arse hair like dags on a donkeys back end!!
