I feel compelled to point out that I am 'like’ing the “not right” comment; I’m not "like"ing the lights themselves which are aseasonal eyesores.

I got all the cloudy/blown windows in my flat fixed last week so now I can’t walk around naked anymore :anguished:

I live almost dead opposite a post office, I’d wager I could hit it with a tamely-lobbed tennis ball. Does the postman leave parcels / large letters that don’t need a signature in the trunk next to the porch? No. Does the postman take them to the post office I can see from my lounge window? No. Does he take them to the local sorting office on the way back into town? No. Does he take them to a village post office four miles away up a narrow country lane? Yes.

got a neighbour on the street behind mine with a really loud and disgustingly phlegmy sounding cough. keep hearing it from my room through the morning and afternoon and again at night. hoping it’s a temporary illness and he’s not always like this.

Just walked over said post office, fancied a spot of pastry-filled lunch (it’s one of those co-op/post office ones). Guess who got to the queue with their ONE item a fucking nanosecond behind a little old lady with a trolley filled to the brim. sigh

Had to make a last minute trip to London last night for a meeting this morning - wondered if I’d randomly bump into a DiSer.

I did, but it was Royter.

If I’m not in and a parcel is taken back to the sorting office, it’s not the sorting office nearest to my house, no. Not the sorting office in my borough, on my route to work, 15 minutes walk from my house. The sorting office for my address is, for some reason, a mile and a half further away, on an industrial estate, in a different borough, in the opposite direction from which I go to and from work. Why!!! Obviously, I have everything sent to my work address now…

wanted to extend my train ticket when on the train. inspector was all yeah that’s absolutely fine. Started to process it on their “new gadget” and was there, stood right next to me for 10 minutes trying to figure it out.
Eventually output an extended ticket…with the same station on it…and no additional fee. So I was all “umm, I don’t think that worked” but he said it would be fine and he would make sure I got through the gates as he would be on the platform…
When I got off he wasn’t there…
Started explaining the situation to the guy on the barrier and he literally just went “who cares! hahahahaha” and let me through.

I enjoyed the guy on the barrier. Was just sat for a few stations when really hungover and thinking “I’m gonna have to explain this nonsense to the guy on the gate because the inspector definitely isn’t going to be there and I absolutely can’t be arsed” only half right though

Couldn’t decide whether to say “no bother” or “no trouble” at the end of that phone call and ended up saying “no borble”.

Fantastic.
