minor things that make you fume

That is mental!

I'd defo hold the post office reliable on that one. Clearly they didn't even check the name on the ID ! That is absolutely scandalous!!

Did you hear anything back?
It was Royal Mail. Yeah i wanted to claim as the recorded delivery at that stage was about 2 months late and i knew you could claim compensation. But the uni didn't want to lodge a complaint and just sent a replacement.

Is there a chance the Uni mistakenly gave you the incorrect tracking number so you were tracking something else?

I did it once sending stuff out on Ebay. Sent numerous items tracked but mistakenly gave two buyers each other's tracking numbers when entering it into Ebay. Both got to the correct customer at the correct address on the label but tracking would have shown 'their' item being delivered to a completely different place.
 

Arrived in Frankfurt at 6am this morning from Australia. Got to the hotel about 9, which is obviously too early to check in, so dropped the bags off and went for a walk. It's now 12.30 and I can't get into my room for at least another hour and I am very tired.

Travel from Australia to Edinburgh for new years eve. Sick as a dog with flu. Hopefully will be feeling better tomorrow

I'm sure that you are a bonzer bloke but:

 
Can anyone explain to me please, why Charlie Hunnam in Rebel Moon is putting on that god awful attempt at a Northern Irish Accent?

This has to be the most unnecessary HUGELY annoying thing that has ever happened in film. Out and out space fantasy, English accents all over the place yet he can’t possibly just speak normally like the rest of them. He has to have a northern Irish accent when he couldn’t possibly have been anywhere near Northern Ireland let alone the solar system or galaxy.

I’d love to meet the guy who made that decision.
 

There needs to be a change in thinking in so many areas of society, you are spot on with this, unless we start approaching societal issues with a holistic systemic approch we are just putting band aids on problems. But, of course actually improving society long term won't get you elected.
When greed is the problem and they have something like the internet to manipulate and distract us all there is no hope. I work in an Adult Protection team and I feel like the game is up. This has been a cull in the vulnerable make no mistake about it. Just look at the way Boris was speaking to his team during the pandemic. They prey on ignorance and prejudice and they have won. No government will be able to take us back to where we were before they came into power.

People think our public services are in crisis. I’d go further and say they are broken beyond repair but that was their goal. Greed will lead to mass privatisation and it won’t be close to what the people need. I really hope I am wrong but I think it’ll take something really bad happening to kick start peoples ability to empathise to the point we will force change.

Season 3 of Sons Of Anarchy was set in Ireland. He didn't have one but those that did were mostly terrible.
 
Me and the missus are hosting 12-15 people tomorrow night for New Year's eve. As is usual, the missus has gone into overdrive and has massively overcrowded. As she was working hard preparing all the grub for tomorrow, one if the group chirps up on the messanger group "who wants to go out tonight?" and most of them go along with it. We live farther away and we're busy preparing so didn't join them.

The reason I'm fuming is because of the effort and expense we've gone to and the person who suggested it is in his 60s with a habit of breaking up parties early "because he's tired", another had a stroke a few years ago and often goes early "because he's tired."

I'm locking the door once they're in tomorrow, til after midnight.

Sure you're not just fuming you can't go out?

Wake up, have a bevvy and just enjoy. If the fella's all leave early great, keep their car keys off them like a good mate then lash them in a bowl on the table at the right moment. This could be the best night of your life. Think positive Chris. We only get one chance at this life and it sounds to me like you've got a better chance of an orgy than anyone on here right now.

Legend of a man.

Given that my missus will be the youngest of anyone attending I'm certainly not interested in an orgy.

You're right though .... live life. Maybe I'll just crack open the strong beer, let them all home by 9 and dance around the garden at midnight in my undercrackers.
