minor things that make you fume



Royal Mail Special delivery is like magic though.
That's what royal mail first class used to be, before privatisation and our acceptance that 1st class might not be, so we'll happily pay even more to get what we used to have but under a different name.

If that makes sense.
 
My daughter is at Reading University. She keeps winding me up by telling me that she's met a new boyfriend that supports the R/S. I've asked her whereabouts in Norway he lives. I don't mind what race, religion, gender her friends are, but, can't she find somebody who doesn't support that horrible team?

I have to have a quiet smirk with regards the constant claim that Norway is the home of the RS tourism industry.
On my first visit to the country three years ago I had my well rehearsed wum speech ready for when I bumped into one or two of them.
In the event in my admittedly short time there, I never saw any RS regalia being worn at all.
The only shirts I saw on display were Everton's by two lads off an offshore stand by vessel.

Special Delivery used to be called Recorded Delivery (i.e. it has to be signed for on receipt), not the same as First Class at all.

I was clumsily trying to refer to the post today, turn up tomorrow bit of what first class once was. The term special delivery kind of (deliberately?) implies that heaven and earth will be moved to ensure it could turn up at it's destination just hours later, borne on the back of a trained eagle with the last leg performed by a man dressed all in black, using ropes and grappling hooks.

Or am I reading too much into the term 'special'?
