It's just been announced it'll be here,
the early van too..
I thought the mail have been permanently on strike..
not much through the door this Xmas..

or I should take the hint no one took up my 'send me presents' offer I made here the other day......
Wonder if the union leaders are taking a wage whilst the manuals are on strike.....
Was this a public announcement, or was it Alexa letting you know.
Don't believe that. I mean what'll you do with a van, early or not.
Not as much junk mail either. The were on strike earlier this month as well, remember that.

Maybe they sent then by Royal Mail. So once they catch up, after striking and the Christmas holidays, you could be inundated with stuff.
Some of them jetted off on holiday at the start of the week. Warmer climates were calling them.

Must be chaos with the amount of parcels sent..

losing business?

Long day, it seems.

Normally is at this end o'year. Can't really reroute from your own sorting office's, especially if you've a picket line out on gates.
Nah, they're hanging onto what they've got. You might see yours next year, if yer lucky.

You were up late last night, early this morning. Little time to sleep, I say go for it.

Isn't that part of the fun, putting it altogether. There's not much I'll admit that, but all the same...
Let me guess, spies or pirates.
Never had that problem with Airfix, other manufacturer's available, kits.

T'was nearly teatime when you posted.

You got him the police station!
Or the safe break?
And he can pass it down when he's outgrown it. It last longer than his interest.

Phonecall to/from the other side of the pond. They say we could be on the edge of that.

Pre buy a online ticket at most games,
Don't want to giving bank details to what could be a liability security wise..
Why not contactless, cheap card reader, internet and away you go...

Present manager (a year now) will go places as doing this with a very low budget, we are a fan owned club now........
so money is tight, one year contracts almost the norm.

Hopefully start next season will get Beag (grandson) across the country to see the 'Ton
Oldest lass gave us our second grandkid weeks ago but have been assured she'll be brought up in the right way:laugh:
There are local options, Falkirk, Stenhousemuir they can choose but as long as they stay away from the Glasgow 'cheeks.....

The same to thee and thine.

We'd rain in the early hours. Odds on for a white one, at the bookie's. You should let Bing sing, as you tell the Young Un how you used to play outside in the snow at this time of year, when you were his age.
You'll either frighten the life out of him, or have him laughing his head off.

That's not too bad. Sky ran with a story about not kissing a toad should you find one in the street. Aimed at adults, not kids. Or the near fatal stabbing of a school tortoise!

Get something to drink, put yer feet and listen to Bing.
