Have a joint
and spend money I haven't got on stuff I don't need. On amazon/hmv or similar, usually.

I am waiting for a pair of boots that I bought before Christmas but the cunting courier tracking says they have been delivered when they blatantly have not, as I was in at the time it says they called. I have fired off two extremely grumpy emails to the company as well as tried to call them, but their call centre is shut and I haven't had a reply. I suspect the company has gone under or the courier has simply nicked my boots and flogged them on ebay. Seething does not quite cover how I feel.

That really is poor. Unlucky.

It really is
I'm trying not to think about it though as they were a) expensive and b) it'll make me so furious that I'll get a blinding headache.

Just general shit.
I'm seeing my child this evening, that's the only thing stopping me from embarking on an almighty drink and drugs session which would only make things worse for me, so that's a good thing.

We don't have a demo but if you're going to ECMOD my boss will be there at a stand

Do you use Hermes couriers?
because this it the second time - out of two, I might add - that they have been completely unreliable and shite.

Nope.
Royal Mail, Parcelforce and TNT, depending on what I'm sending. They are all utter shit.

I gave DPD a try last year - they gave me a price based on anticipated traffic of 50-80 parcels a day - and turned up each night in a transit van with enough room for about 10. Total spastics the lot of them.

They aren't bad, but they cost a fortune.
