I am informed by Royal Mail that they will attempt delivery of An Item, some time between an hour ago and three hours hence. Narrows it down a bit, I suppose

DPD are delivering an item between 17:17 and 18:17 today apparently. Cannonball Run home from work it is then!

I like getting stuff from DPD because you can see them working their way towards you on a map

When I have parcels delivered by the post office, the post just opens the front door and sets them in the hall for me.

Now, that would be great, to race them home and track them on the map. Well, it would be, if it weren't for the fact that they're delivering my dash-mounting contraption for my phone.

The windscreen sees the 3K microwave background whereas the side windows see the rather warmer surroundings.

At least that's one explanation I've seen.

Well, that's a tough one. According to the Bible, the chicken came first. However, Eve must surely have ovulated at some point, ergo, I'd go with egg.

Well, that's a tough one. According to the Bible, the chicken came first. However, Eve must surely have ovulated at some point, ergo, I'd go with egg.

In the first creation myth in Genesis, it says that on the fifth day He created, among other things, "fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven"; whereas "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" on the sixth day. So the chickens were there before Eve.

Eve is first mentioned by name in the second creation myth, in which the order in which things are created is different: Adam is created, then "Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air". But that's still before Eve is formed from Adam's rib and thus available for ovulation.

So the chicken still wins, whichever myth you choose to believe
