      It's about 1 pm here. I was meant to have been on a train to Manchester an hour ago that would have arrived at 1:30. That would have given me an hour to get over to the Denim Doctor to pick up a couple of pairs of jeans before catching the 2:30 down to London.

      The train that I was meant to catch was cancelled, as is the connection for Manchester that I could have caught. As such I'll get into Manchester at 3:30 and will have to hope my ticket will be allowed on the next train South.

        Cutting it close this morning, and look where the genius milkman decides to park:

        And not to park:

        (Plenty of clearance for the lorry)

        Think it, be it.

            In Zurich you are never cool with parking for free buddy 😉 even not for a second unless you are really an expert in negotiating afterwards with the officers. but on public ground no chance. 😞  😛 unless you are parking on the high-sought after "blue zones" then its free for I think 15 or 30 minutes

            Cheers,

                            Rant - Tried to send the beer tour shirt, complete with beer, and a second parcel containing goodies for Mr and Mrs Seawolf, one package weight 3.5kg and the other 4.5kg. The Royal Mail quote to mail them both was £110 !!! Just had a quote from Fedex who will mail them both for £63. How does our postal service still operate?  😠

                              Wow it's the opposite here. USPS is an enumerated power in our constitution though.

                                ^I just sent 3.3KG's to the UK from here for $103AUD, likely to take 2 weeks and is untracked. Australian post office has been taking lessons from the UK posties, or vice versa? 😛

                                    USPS has artificial pricing. The whole rationale for it being an enumerated power was to ensure that communications to remote areas would cost roughly the same as to populous areas. This was considered a matter of national security.

                                    The biggest threat to them economically is that they have to reserve future pension funds going forward. Pretty stupid, can't think of any private business with that kind of burden.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      Yes, $43AUD to send you some TimTams. You're worth every cent of it mate, but I wish Australia Post wasn't such a ball ache. I'll be sending IHSH-20 back by any other courier don't worry 🙂

                                          So, the "y" key on my Apple bluetooth keyboard stopped working.  So I bought a new keyboard.  Paired it up and hey presto, the "y" key still did not work.  Re-booted the Mac and yes, you've got it, the "y" started working…..oh well, now have a clean key board....Feck feck feck
