08:25.35Leedsapparently it's snowing in Yorkshire... we're off to Bangkok for the weekend, forecast high 33C
08:29.12morsing:)
09:50.57ChoHagI used to herd dairy cows. Now I herd lusers. Apart from the isolation, I think I preferred the cows. They were better conversation, easier to milk, and if they annoyed me enough, I could shoot them and eat them.
09:51.54ChoHagActually the biggest problem I currently face isn't the regular lusers, it's the lusers who have been promoted to admins.
09:52.04ChoHagMy that's a scary thought.

11:26.15ChoHagIt won't skip 2300 just to wind me up?
11:26.20CopeI don't think so
11:26.36wethrinhello Cope
11:26.37ChoHagReassuring.
11:26.55CopeIt's cold in my office!

12:38.20morsingHDNL FAIL
12:38.29morsingAnd i'm not alone:
12:38.31morsinghttp://www.mrdaz.com/hdnl-complaints/
12:38.54wethrinNo, many many many people complain about HDNL
12:39.49morsingwethrin: I just heard a slight noise at the door... Went over and a note had been shoved through my letter box saying "As you're not in, your parcel has been left at number 19"
12:39.52morsingWTF?!
12:40.01morsingTry bloody knowcking first
12:40.28wethrinyeah, well. Apparently that's a complaint about quite a few delivery companies
12:40.33wethrinnot just HDNL
12:40.48morsingParcel Force is bad as well
12:44.41ChoHagWhere parcel force beats * though is that upon failure it'll most likely end up in the delivery office, which is nearby, rather than $random_courier's distribution which may if you're lucky be somewhere within 50 miles.
12:46.52morsingMy Parcel Force FAILs end up at they delivery center in M/K, about 20 miles away
12:47.06morsingOr have they changed that
12:48.19morsingI do like the Parcel Force re-assuring note on the back of the card essentially saying "We have chosen a delivery time where most people are at work so we can charge you an extra £12.99 to deliver it when you're actually at home"
12:59.03*** join/#gllug stu_ (~stu@dyn1245-176.vpn.ic.ac.uk)
13:03.10wethrinMy closest ParcelFarce depot is in Gateshead
13:03.26wethrinso a bit over 10 miles away
13:03.44wethrinI get parcels delivered to work, generally
13:04.03wethrinWhere parcelforce wins for me, though, is I can just take stuff down to the post office, and Things Happen
