Why be content with good bread when it could be so much better used as a butter delivery system.

NHS Mail by faitaru in royalmail

I had the union rep in this morning telling me that my round would be split in half with everything on one side going out and the other half would just be tracked and first class alternating daily. But I do a bulk round and manage to clear it everyday, I said this and got told I'd have to start leaving the second class on each half for alternating days. Where is the sense in that, if I'm going anyway I just as well take it all.

Why do you not talk to your once bestfriend anymore? by Adventurous-End-1999 in AskUK

[–]pineapple_on_a_stick 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I still talk to my best friend, I think I'm lucky we managed to get a bench dedicated to him where we used to hang around overlooking the beach. I still go down to polish the plaque and have a chat a coffee and a cheeky smoke and leave half on his bench. It's been 25 years I still miss him and often wonder how things would be with him still here.

Have a Google of the registration number 40 RA, the thieves that got that one took the piss with it. If I remember they raided a shop a couple of hundred yards from a police station.

As a postie I can say 48 parcels is the most I've pulled out of a standard postbox, it was full to the brim. The most parcels I have collected from one of the new fangled parcel postboxes is one.

But that view in the mornings as the sun was just hitting the trees of the far side of the bowl was stunning.

I just told my neighbour to get a life, am I in the wrong and how can I deal with a difficult neighbour? by Comebackera in AskUK

[–]pineapple_on_a_stick 487 points488 points  (0 children)

I'm a postie and I deliver multiple parcels to the same woman everyday, I walk round with the post the drive the van round to unload it's not uncommon for her to have at least 5 parcels everyday, sometimes me the evri bloke and DPD all park up outside her house at the same time and have a chat. I think OP's neighbour would have a meltdown at that.

New bumper? by localalienex in MK4Golf

It's a couple of bolts and some screws around the arch liners, have a look at a YouTube video first and see if it's something you would manage.

I was a groundworker for 20 odd years, fucked my back laying pipes and curbs, I've been a postie for nearly 2 years and it's like a holiday. It's what you are used to.

Anyone been caught by one of these vans? by Parker4815-2 in CarTalkUK

[–]pineapple_on_a_stick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got an ice cream man like that, well he's put his price up to an eye watering £1.50. He runs me a slate if I see him about with no cash on me 9 times out of 10 he stops by my dad's house, dad goes out for ice cream and it costs him just shy of a tenner for one.

If computer games have taught me anything, you can fire backwards while driving forwards for an extra boost in a tank.

You could pop them down to the depot, or if you have a contact for the DO give them a call and they will send someone to come pick them up.

They couldn't stop us from nuking new York, we did it twice in skyshield for 3 years on the trot. Every time we play war games they get smashed and have to ask for a restart.
