Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My electric toothbrush, electric razor and more importantly my Garmin batteries are all losing their charge life and I suspect they’ll all need replacing fairly soon.

I'm expecting a delivery from DHL today.
I'm home and not working because armistice day is a public holiday in Belgium. And I'm still a bit poorly so I'm mostly relaxing on the sofa with the critters, so I had an excellent view of a DHL van driving down my street, stopping just past my house, turning around without anyone getting out or trying to delivery anything, then driving off again.

I haven't, yet, had a notification that they 'tried to deliver but I wasn't in', but I wouldn't be surprised if I get one in the next few minutes.

DHL failed to deliver a parcel to me in February last year. When I questioned their claim that they had, in fact, made two attempts to deliver, they kindly supplied me with this photographic "evidence":



I think it's some kind of abstract art, but I'm not sure what exactly it's supposed to prove.

DHL or any parcel delivery company.

Got notification my parcel would be delivered yesterday evening, didn’t turn up checked delivery status last night, nothing, then checked this morning to see the driver was unable to gain access to my house for delivery, I live in a house with a main door with direct access to the street outside. Apparently it’s out for delivery again today, no idea when to expect it.

My current landlord agency resorting to monetary threats and guilt trips to seek to oust us from the property, rather than engaging in open dialogue to come to an amicable solution.

Also, their lies, misinformation, and withholding of information. I sincerely wish ill upon them all.

A different DHL van came by a little while ago and delivered my parcel, so now I am a happy Raemond.

So the legends are true, Raemond? They do actually deliver parcels sometimes?

Sounds pretty nasty, JK. I hope it works out for you.

I agree and I’m also bloody annoyed about Hancock and all the populist rubbish around politics right now. Seems we have reached bottom with regard to politicians actually caring and be able and willing do their jobs without swindling us all! Or have we? When will the next demonstration of incredible ineptitude, racism, misogyny, corruption or just sheer stupidity from this shower of shysters occur I wonder?
