I had some stuff delivered yesterday, normally it would have come by Royal Mail but the supplier has now switched to HDN. -
This will cause massive disruption to me. The post woman opposite gets up at 4am to let the dogs out, usually in a nightie, sometimes in the nuddie.
What am I supposed to do if my daily service is suspended ?

I've ordered some electronic trickery from DealExtreme in Hong Kong, I've tracked the order till it was in the air... I suspect it will stay there for quite some time.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

At one time BT tried using Malta for European addresses. The solicitor's letter came before the bill, which I took great delight in pointing out to themBehold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

So the post gets delayed for a day or few, big deal. What's the point of not working for a day or two when all it means is they have more work to do clearing up the backlog when they get back - temps are unlikely to be able to keep up IMO. My sympathy disappears when people go on strike. They should threaten to resign and resign if necessary, and then the Royal Mail, government and UK PLC would be in the tulip. None of this pansying around striking nonsense. Do it properly or feck off back to work. Easier said than done I know.Comment

Not great...I've to send in my Books to CH and HMRC end of next week. Looks like I'm gonna have to courier them down. HMRC might give me a break (as I've no tax to pay) but CH won't.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."
