Had that happen last week, it was some urgent stock I needed, they said I
was out. Baring in mind I'm less than 10 foot from the front door at my
desk, living here in the middle of nowhere I can hear every vehicle that
goes up and down this road, which during the day is probably less than 5 an
hour, there's only one path to the property, and next doors dog goes berserk
when anyone comes down the path.

Yes there is, find out who the delivery driver was on that route that day
and interrogate him as to where he left it.

My experience is that if there's no card, the driver was too lazy to even
attempt delivery or running late (as I've found after being in all day only
to find it's been marked as "attempted delivery").

Bugger.   :-(

Anyway, what's the blue bin for?  We've got black and green wheelie bins,
but no blue.  OTOH, we also have a green box (as opposed to a wheelie
bin), a green bag, a brown bag and a small green compost bin.

Shit, we've had more plastic dumped in our place in the name of
"recycling" than goes to the dump.  Maybe that's the idea.   :-()

There are worse outcomes. My daughter received a parcel and the postman
wedged a card in the letterbox, between the outer and inner flaps, so she
didn't see it until she got back from work the next day when that day's
post pushed it though. The card said the parcel had been put i the blue
bin - guess what was the last thing she'd done before going to work that
morning :(

Ah, they're pulling That One on you. Living right out on the edge of
town, I've run into them playing that game a few times - they either can't
be arsed, or don't have time, to deliver it, so they don't even bother
coming out here - they mark it as attempted delivery and /if I'm really
lucky/, mail the delivery attempt note to me by second class post (so I get
it about a week later).

I strongly recommend that you phone them up and ask them to deliver it to
your local post office, and then pick it up from there yourself. Otherwise
you're probably going to end up waiting weeks.

Hello,

According to the tracking site for royalmail the parcel couldn't be

wasn't in. Of course I was so I am thinking the might of not been bothered and

Any daft places that people have had cards stuffed before that i could look in?

Yes it is but what can we do apart from talk on these forums?

Vote out labour and get in a party thats even more likely to look
after the rich companies?

We do seem to be sleepwalking into a serious situation were only

Hi Martin,

       Interesting twist on the statement that the
German minister said of his experience in Nazi Germany,
and his plea for people to not do as he did.

You might want to give claws-mail a look, too. The windows version trails
the linux version a bit, but it's still pretty decent overall.

Oh, so true!  I spend a lot of my time working with PCs at work, plus
I now have a Microsoft Technet subscription so I can teach myself more
about working with Windowshere at home.  I'm hoping that from this I
can then take some certifications and probably get a better paying
job.  One thing for certain, I've got some practice installing
different versions of Windows now (from XP through 7, and Server 2008
R2), and setting up some stuff (anyone wants to know how to set up
Windows Server Update Services, I'm your man!).  :-)

Plus there are probably a lot like me who "lurk" on the ml for GREATLY
extended periods of time.  I think, outside of the last couple of
days, it's been months to a year (maybe longer?) since the last time I
posted here.  I still skim/read all the emails every time I check my
email, though.

It used to be I'd check my email every night.  Now, I'm lucky to check
it once a week.

Except for this week, I've actually been checking it every other day
now.  :-)

Given the enthusiastic response to this email... I'd say yes, but then it's
probably been yes for a few years.

Is it possible to revive it?

You're probably right. It would be a shame - where would I get my random mails

I'm sure I didn't touch it. However, these plugs are usually firmly
seated so I was surprised that it fell out. The PC used to belong
to my son and he was always taking it to bits so it was probably
his fault :-)

       First, I know that we are not supposed to change
the name of the thread, but this thread is way
different that the one with the "pinched" name.

       Second, I do not know about anyone else, but I
know that I have been very tied up with so many chores
relating to both personal and work needs that I barely
have the time to just read posting.  When it comes to
postings from pamiga, and, because many of the members
are hobbyists and enthusiasts, a thread which might
have small interest value to me, becomes a big
discussion thing.  That is okay.  I then just do not
pay attention, most of the time.

       I do, occasionally check the thread to see if
anything of interest to me is being covered; as I saw
this time.  And, I am responding because I believe it
is important.

       I do not think pamiga group is necessarily dying.
   I believe it is just that the members do not have as
much time to correspond and participate as they once
had.  So, a group becoming relatively quiet does not
mean it is dying.  What can tell you it is dying is
when people unsubscribe from the list or literally die.

       Keep trucking.

                               Julian.
