Click & collect my arse

What a fucking waste of an hour of my life!

Bought a military back pack from eBay to take to Portsmouth at the weekend & thought I'd get it delivered to the new Argos on the Eddington estate (often that way for nosh from Sainsbury's).

Saw from tracking data that it had been delivered.

Argos can’t find it (should say though that the staff were very apologetic about not being able to locate it).

eBay/PayPal did refund me but that's last time I use ‘deliver to Argos’ option!

Off to Mountain Warehouse this PM to get something else.

Update: got a 65 litre rucksack that normally sells for £80 for £36 as it was 1/2 price & then 20% off on production of a university card :¬)

Lost keys

After loading paper delivery into the cupboards Bruce somehow managed to lose the keys.

Given his propensity to just dump stuff down randomly wherever he happens to be it's a surprise that it hasn't happened before.

Toot Toot! Theresa Maybot Bus Tours

All aboard!


Material Science: I want to do it

Sure, if you want to waste your own time to do it your way, feel free to toss about wiping some fuckers arse for them.

As opposed to telling them to do it fucking properly in the 1st place.

Actually, it makes a nice change: Bruce doing the work and me sitting about...

Mick, Nevill, Phil & Natalie

Good news is that Mick has a new job in Biotechnology. It's essentially doing the same thing as he was at PandIS.

Even better, it's CHEST-funded so he doesn't have to worry about making enough money to pay himself.

Neville is retiring as planned.

No news on Phil though. It's more than 3 months since the 90 day consultation period ended!

As Mick wont be going to Comm's there's a theory that she'll be placed there when her secondment ends.
