Don't go to the Post Office Hardy.

2 weeks ago I went to the local PO to post off scripts to Manchester through Parcelforce.

Says me: Can I send these off with Parcelforce?

PO Woman: Mmmm, I don't think so.

Me: :Yea, I sent them off from here last year. They're paid for already. You just need to give them to the Parcelforce man.

PO: We don't have a Parcelforce service.

Me: You do, he arrives every day. I see him

PO: No, you need to go to a bigger Post Office.

Me: But look - there's the Parcelforce sticker on the counter. He'll be here soon.

PO: Mmmm, I'm not sure about that. I only started on here last week.

Me: You just need to give me a receipt and give them to the Parcelforce man.

PO: You need to go to a bigger Post Office.

I left and as I walked out of the shop I was greeted by the Parcelforce van parked outside the shop door. He scanned it and just shook his head.

Good man O'Neill. I'm just after aytin my own face with the laughing.

We should make Parcelforce Man the next head of the ECB.

I'd vote for him.

Cyclists on country roads going 2 (or more) abreast.

It's perfectly legal to ride 2 abreast. Get over yourself.

No it's not - I pointed this out before, but we know you struggle with most things - UK Highway code.

66
You should

•keep both hands on the handlebars except when signalling or changing gear
•keep both feet on the pedals
never ride more than two abreast, and ride in single file on narrow or busy roads and when riding round bends
•not ride close behind another vehicle
•not carry anything which will affect your balance or may get tangled up with your wheels or chain
•be considerate of other road users, particularly blind and partially sighted pedestrians. Let them know you are there when necessary, for example, by ringing your bell if you have one. It is recommended that a bell be fitted

I haven't seen a wide country road yet.

so then, is it in the highway code, or just a wives tale, that a slow moving vehicle has to pull in when there is more than 5 vehicles behind it?
If this is true, im gona buy myself a highway code book, and wave it furiously at tractor drivers ;D

To a 4 year old and 8 year pretty much knows all there is to know.

True....but as adults, we understand that no one knows everything,

Playing on the team with the extra player on astro when an odd number of players show up. A right pain in the hole. Inevitably go 4 goals down quickly as everyone looks to someone else to do the work and arguments ensue.

We just make the team with the extra man play two touch, if the teams are roughly equal there usually isn't much in it.
