Fucking Parcelforce. Claiming they attempted delivery today (they didn't) and left a note (they didn't) telling me to go to my local Post Office to go collect it. Lying bastards, they just took it directly to the Post Office. Didn't even get an apology or an attempt at an explanation when I rang up to find out what the hell I'm supposed to do.
Still better than Yodel.
I get your pain, happen to me a few times :(. I tried to deliver to my work to avoid that.
Oh yeah, I'd never use Yodel. It's just the lying that pisses me off. Plus their website claims you need the card they left and some ID to go collect your parcel. Well of course that leaves me worried because they didn't leave me any card. Rang them up and they just said I just needed ID so I'm gonna have to leave work early tomorrow so I can go get it (don't trust them to redeliver if they couldn't even attempt it the first time).
Yodel and Hermes need to fight it out to see which parcel "delivery" service is the shittiest. Yodel usually throws my stuff into my back garden whereas Hermes leaves it either on top of a wheelie bin, or under my wife's car in full sight of the bastard children who walk past to go to school.
The worst I've had is TNT stealing my parcel. No note, no attempt at redelivery. Tracking told me it was just sitting in their warehouse.
Luckily the company I ordered from sent me a replacement free of charge with express delivery.
Next time I placed an order with them I noticed they weren't using TNT anymore.

Nothing wrong with having a legitimate grumble. It's easier to find common ground with people over stuff like this than Eastenders or Bake Off.
To paraphrase Benny Franklin;
"But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and courier companies fucking up your delivery..."

Were there seats available? If not then then probably just wanted to sit down. If there were then they're being contrary.
Sounds like a pretty sweet evening to me dude.
I've just ordered a curry, brought the bunnies inside for a run around the kitchen and planing on what to watch/play this evening
I started watching Murder on the Orient Express but it was really dull so I turned it off and I'm now playing Dead by Daylight
Drove on the M25 yesterday during rush hour and only got cut up twice and given the 'wanker' gesture once.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Not sure what's up with this awesome weather still. Blue skies, lots of sun, cool air... for some reason it feels like we're cheating something.
And girls and non-binary too?

Oh yeah I'm going to conic on on thursday (mostly to play smash ) and I night might meet up with some friends there
oioi. It's been 5 years since I've left the UK to work in Asia... I'm starting to miss London (in a weird way), I think in 5 years it must have changed a good bit. I know everyone's chucking acid around now.. I dunno. is everyone still miserable ?
Nope. If anything they've got more tickets left than the May one as the Priority tickets were sold out by now. At the moment there are still Priority and General tickets still available. It's only the Weekend ticket thats sold out.
Doesn't seem to be.
That's quite a dilema... I've already told my partner and friends that this weekend is a write off due to RDR.
Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm not a huge fan of westerns or the standard open world genre currently, but RDR2 seems to be raising the bar in many ways and I can't ignore that. It also looks like this game will fix many of the issues I have with OW games in general.
I expect I'll love it when I actually get around to playing it but I just seem to have zero hype for Red Dead 2.
I've read a few previews - including Edge - and nothing has grabbed me. I appreciate the technical side, but as soon as someone mentions that if you eat too much, you gain weight I just lose interest.
That kind of granular detail is something I can't be bothered with - I have a busy life with kids and job and just want to lose myself in a storyline that is paced, not worry about if my jeans should be tucked into my shoes or not.

Did you get it?
It sounds too brave to get a game that you're not hype for, or maybe i'm mixing hype and interest.
I haven't preordered it. I might pick it up in London while I'm at ComicCon, I'll see how I feel.
I should be going…
I'll pop round to say hi. Maybe.
What day are you all going if you are going to MCM? I'm going on Saturday so it should be fun hopefully .
Off topic but was there a meetup I missed before in London?

I'm finally going to switch to all 3 days next year as I've previously only done Saturday and Sundays. Gonna book my hotel for Thursday to Monday for less hassle. Having to checkout on Sunday and then still head to Comic Con is always annoying.
I'm going Friday and Saturday this year, normally go all 3 days but I'm off to the NFL game at Wembley on the Sunday.
If you see someone walking around as King from Tekken or Therion from Octopath, that's probably me.
Also I'll be having a few drinks at the Fox Thurs/Fri/Sat, so if you find me, I'll buy you a pint

You better
Nah I can't be bothered to do them anymore
I always avoid the Fox. Us exhibitors always go Novotel.
Were you at the Novotel in May? I think I remember hearing about some trouble there on the Sat night?
I go to the Fox on the Friday night as its still a bit manageable but its just so busy on the Saturday that its a quick walk past to gawk at all the people then I leave again.
I was, I didn't see any trouble.
I'll be in the comic village, try and find me...
Yeah that's why we avoid it. It's a good laugh but waiting at the bar for an hour to get served is not so fun. Sometimes we go the Novotel first for a few drinks then go to Fox after when we're already a bit merry to have a dance
Maybe I'm thinking of the usual lot that hang out outside of the Novotel then. I know there was a lot of complaints over smashed bottles.
Kinda mixed on those it's not just 'one' group. There is a lot of dodgy people that hang around there after the con is shut. Usually it's fine if you have a sufficiently large group though.
Oh yeah the kids who aren't old enough to get served so hang around outside.
