    Has anybody here worked for a courier company

    I ask because UPS has lost one of my packages and it's been 2 weeks, they say they 'can't find it'. I find it hard to understand how something can be 'lost'. Unless it's literally been stolen by an employee, then the package is there, in their depot. Doesn't a stray package the goes nowhere...

    Hardest geezer

    I've been following this fella for a while and there is no doubt that his achievement has made him hard. The hardest thing I have ever done was kung fu training at a new club. At my old club I was ok at it, but the new club had an initiation exercise that was beyond my capability. It was the...

    Billionaires

    I was reading Taylor Swift is now a billionaire. She certainly didn't get that way from Spotify royalties. I also note that #1 billionaire rich person Bernard Arnault (in reality it's Putin but nobody mentions that) reminds me of Mr Burns:

    Fake Meat

    I'm pretty sure that before the end of the century most of us won't be eating meat any more and those that do will be looked down upon as savages :D As a meat eater myself I'm disappointed to be told by the missus every now and then to provide a veggie meal for us all so when I was in Tesco...

    Steven Tyler and other rock stars

    What do they do all day? Surely at 75 he doesn't just drink Jack Daniels and have orgies with groupies Do rock stars do the washing up? I can't really see him doing that, or the hoovering for that matter

    Managers punching the air to their fans

    Klopp is well-known for this (when he wins) and on MOTD last night I noticed Gary O'Neil doing it too But wasn't it our very own Gareth Southgate that started it all? Albeit not when he was manager

    Dishwashers

    Questions of the day: Why have they been designed to get clogged and breakdown every time they have to deal with food particles greater than a few mm? Why can't said particles just go down the drain, like they would do in the kitchen sink, rather than clog up the system and cause a hefty...

    Tea - best drink of the day

    Pretty sure that used to be an advertising strapline in the '80s Yes tea is spot on at the right moment, but best drink of the day surely has to be coffee first thing in the morning

    Jonathan Pie on tour

    Google family members

    Getting this to work with my google account and 2 kids is quite possibly the most complex process since Einstein worked out E=MC2 The most annoying thing of all is the 'clear and easy' step-by-step process that is anything but, and makes me feel like I must be much much thicker than I actually am

    Carpentry tool question

    I need to saw exactly in half some 1200x800mm plastic pallets right down the middle so they're 1200x400mm (don't ask why;)) What is the best way to do this? From what I see most circular saws only cut 50mm deep but I need to cut 120mm

    Redcar

    I just found this random pic on my pc from 2004. I don't live in the area anymore so it would be interesting to see the exact same pic from today, now the works have gone. Maybe someone in the area has some time on their hands? :)
