The Levellers acoustic gig I was going to in Winchester has been moved because unfortunately one of the band members son died ☹️
Obviously I don't blame them for moving it and the fact they are still doing them at all this year seems quite brave to me, but it got moved to literally the only day in the whole year I can't go. The date of my mates wedding!

Right. After my horrendous farce of an experience of having a parcel returned to Japan because the postman never left a card to say it was being held, I am starting to believe that my postman is just crap. I have three books or order, all of which were dispatched over a week ago, none of which have arrived and I have had zero parcel cards.

Royal Mail is going to get a serious talking to if I find out these parcels are at the depot.

royal fail have been a joke for years. have the time I have a parcel I don't hear the feather touch at the door, if they knock at all. only good thing I can say is I have been able to claim some parcels the same day I missed them

That seems remarkably bad. I have the opposite here, by contrast to yours my postie is actually really pretty good. Definitely doesn’t drop the ball on the parcel cards and he’s a cheerful chappy! Is your postman simply crap or do you think he’s taken a disliking to you?

Just crap rather than malicious I think. I haven't lived at my current address long and the few interactions we've had he just seems generally kinda miserable. I said hello to him outside the other day and received no response. I mean you never know what's going on in other people's lives, but I think people can at least be expected to do their job properly.

We also keep getting post for a flat with the same number as our house but in a different property on the same street. This doesn't do anything to help my suspicions.

That seems fairly unfortunate for you. Sorting out your own post has got to get tiresome.

Thankfully that only seems to be the odd letter, which is easy enough for me to just stick in their letterbox as I walk by, but it's still not great. Makes me wonder if they've ever gotten my post and if they can be bothered to do the same. I had a DVD from zoom.co.uk just completely disappear in the postal system last month - Thankfully they refunded me.
 
hmm, I'm doing some images for my haberdashery again, I've only got 3 images of screen name only ones left (then I'll have to design a HUD for the rest uurgh!) any of the usual suspects here want to see our sh**posting immortalised in screenname form?
