Metro_Nome Nov 2023 2:29pm, 28 Nov 2023 7,248 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome Companies that say an item has been "dispatched" but really all they mean is they've generated a Royal Mail number and it hasn't actually been sent yet. so even if it's a 48 hour delivery it could be a few days until it's even on its way (had an item that was "dispatched" on Thursday, for which i had to pay postage for a 48 hour service. RM are still awaiting the item, where I'd have expected to have it by now from the dispatch info)

Email today from Pets at Home ... is Poppy ready for Christmas? No she bleeping well isn't ... she's a dog! And, no, she will most definitely not be wearing a Christmas themed jumper on Christmas jumper day! She's a dog!!!

But at least we get to celebrate it, unlike the tens of thousands that Hancock admitted died prematurely because your Government couldn't be bothered to lock down. Care to comment on that? Happy Christmas
Carpathius Nov 2023 7:34pm, 30 Nov 2023 22,664 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius For those other than personal friends and family of Shane MacGowan, Christmas will be exactly the same. It's not as if anyone's going to stop playing 'Fairytale Of New York'. My dog doesn't give a flying fart about Christmas. Or anything unless it interrupts walks and playtime and treats.
Carpathius Nov 2023 7:37pm, 30 Nov 2023 22,665 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Actually I came here to put two things on the list: 1) My toaster. 5 minutes: warmish bread. 5 minutes and one second: irretrievably burnt toast. 2) The toilet at work. Upon flushing it uses a lot of water with great enthusiasm, which gives the contents of the bowl an exciting swoosh around without actually taking it down the soil pipe. And there's only one between about 30 people.
