Some delivery people are taking the "neighbor" thing too far - my delivery got put in another block about 10 minutes walk away (must have been delivering there next). Our Amazon deliverer has given up and just leaves things on the communal staircase :)

I'm the same - if I'm going out for the night (as I often do) then working in the morning then they're better off not leaving it with me. I do try and take it and carry it over if I can. In this case I'd just find the courier service - google the CEO and write a letter of complaint then forget it (fire off your arrows then don't worry about it again). Sometimes I get a nice letter back saying they're sorry for my hurt feelings - but by then I've moved on.

They never ask me for money They always ask when I'll be joining them at their service :) Edit: I'm a sinnerman you see

The stupid woman thing is just more time wasting - it's upsetting some people it seems as we're discussing corbyn when we should be discussing how to avoid no deal. The people outside parliament are the radical right wingers - they managed to call Kay Burley a "slag" and Faisal Islam a "Rapist".

Makes sense if > they don't want the car park to be overused on > match day. They send you a nice picture of you driving in and out - I think they're called Horizon Parking. They will cancel it if you have a receipt to prove you were a customer there.

I've had two and got both cancelled after a typical moan from me to both Sainsbury's and the car park fine people. They don't put up much of a fight if you were in Sainsbury's and are slow or had a coffee in Starbucks (show the receipt - mine was ?130 - no arguing with that). Preempted a third last week by going to the kiosk and saying I was staying longer.

At a leaving do I once put a 500 limit on what my colleagues could spend - they spent 500 - so I never did again either but for different reasons :)

Brexiters have no idea - the loud shouting outside parliament is pushing things the way of a peoples vote very nicely. People do not like hooligans.

Soon it'll just be criminals left and they can meet, swap cash for goods, then mug each other. It'll be fitting.

So probably is 30 mins each way.

I'm OK alone this year, with my TV and Netflix and food and drink. I used to have big family Christmas's for years and it was stressful but you will lose family in the end so see them when they're there. Some aren't happy alone though so I acknowledge this is a great thing and glad local businesses are contributing, Thanks :)

They're supposed to go into a safe place and a bar tab marker used for drinks (you give the marker to whoever gets the drinks). You settle up at the end of the night.

"In recent days, Lineker has pitted himself against fellow members of the 1986 World Cup squad after the former goalkeeper Peter Shilton expressed his support for pro-Brexit Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg and the forward Chris Waddle endorsed a no-deal exit." When it gets to ex England stars fighting you have to wonder.

Oooh

Well that was the worst meeting between May and the EU yet. They were going to add in some kind of sweetener promise but it got overruled and the EU commission has officially rated Theresa May's performance as bad (well someone has to). It's also been confirmed that UK citizens will have to undergo ETIAS procedures to enter the EU from 2021 (papers seeing this as a ?7 charge - but I see it more as what restrictions will be implemented - will some people not even be allowed to travel to the EU).

She'll come back to the commons sometime before January 21st unless she can wheedle out of it. She won't have a deal but she will have changed the words around on the current one or added a codicil At some point Corbyn may call a vote of no confidence - if he wins there's 14 days of chaos - so the DUP could support him then renege to cause more trouble.

@PMQs "May says there is an EU council meeting, and further discussions to be held. The date of the vote will be announced in the normal way. There has been a meaningful vote. It was in 2016. And if Corbyn wants a meaningful date, she will give him one - 29 March, when the UK will leave." She still tried to wind up remainers - that's why she'll never have my support.

Did anybody tip O2 for getting their 4G connection back up. :)

All those involved don't have long careers ahead of them I guess. Someone Tasered outside parliament just now apparently.
