I rearranged for Tuesday, then it came today.
As much as I hate to say it, Amazon are by far the best company at delivering parcels (apart from Royal Mail, who are the gold standard as far as I'm concerned).

I returned from town the other day to find Amazon had left a box on the neighbour's doorstep, in plain sight. They would normally ask me to hold it for them but in this case that was obviously impossible. Fortunately the neighbours returned shortly afterwards as there have been many doorstep thefts around here.

What kind of lowlife steals a doorstep?

People who speed up when you’re overtaking them on a dual carriageway.
This numpty (who looked a lot like David Icke) was in a Porsche Cayman, doing about 65; so I overtook at 70, and then he purposely kept pace out of some misguided sense of pride. Obviously piqued by being overtook by a measly Dacia Stepway.
Gave him the eyes and he just swanned off at a ridiculous speed.

The term “game management” which is being used now, let’s just call it what it is, time wasting + cheating

See lots of managers do it, disgusting
I'm not a huge fan of players doing it on the pitch either but at least you can understand why when running around as you say

Actors mumbling in TV series.
I subscribe to a service which supplies subtitles for series where none are normally provided and even they are sometimes stumped. The Nevers (Part 2) is a particularly bad example. Turning up the volume doesn't help, the over-loud music and sound effects just wake the neighbours.
In the days of 405-line black & white TV sets with side-facing speakers we could at least understand what was being said.

I changed to Greatest Hits radio when Ken Bruce went there, and it’s pretty good.

Fuck knows, their cost to serve will have gone up a bit like any other business but it just feels like opportunist price gouging to me. You expect these things to get cheaper over time as the initial investment in the infrastructure is paid off, not more expensive. It got a lot of criticism but the nationalising of broadband provision was a sensible policy for what it is a necessary public utility.

Yeah, effectively I'd be locked into a 2 year contract paying well over what a new customer would pay.

Birmingham Airport.
Unless you are off on a package holiday to Gran Canaria, it's fucking useless. Ridiculously expensive, slow, inefficient. Airports can be a hassle, but this one is embarrassingly behind a lot of the others in the UK considering its size. The people who run it are arrogant losers as well.

So slow, if you turn up late, say about an hour prior to take off you get whizzed through security.

We flew out of Gatwick twice last year. On one time our flight left late simply because airport staff forgot to put up which gate it was going from and the other the plane had to wait on the tarmac for an hour after boarding because ATC had ‘mixed up the schedule’.
Went on Eurostar this year, much less hassle

WTF is a "super fan"? Some woman who went to a Eurovision semi final is one apparently. So every year she gets excited by a music competition for a week or 2 and will watch it on TV and maybe have a party. What are football fans who go to every game they can & do everything they can to watch games they can't be at on ifollow, sky, illegal streams etc and the team they support is never far from their thoughts?

Just wait until they are on sky sports live about eight times next year.
There is nothing about the Wrexham story I like or enjoy I hope they have a season of mid table obscurity see how their tv audience enjoy that.

That's good that. The two times I've gone from east mids it's been exactly that experience.
I swear they make it a ballache at BHX so they can push their priority security tickets

The last 4 times over gone from there it’s been dreadful - even Fast Track was a 30 minute wait.

The one thing I like about the Wrexham thing is that at least the owners are legitimate and not the usual crypo scammers with a company registered to a shed in their back garden that usually try to latch on to lower league clubs.
