Tried audiobooks?

I realised you were and whilst I do agree with what you are saying they have been so consistently bad for us in the last three years of living where I do that I refuse to believe it is just one bad or lazy person.

Ive had plenty of interactions with many different people both at my door, via email and at the sorting office and they have all been anywhere from not caring to unhelpful all the way to down right rude to both me and my my partner.

So whilst I had your attitude to begin with them they have worn me down to the point where I point blank dislike them. I go out of my way to make sure I dont order anything that uses them as a carrier any more because I want things delivered to my door and not have to walk 5km to pick it up within a two hour window.

Maybe it is an issue with processes or management or something further up the line but that doesnt excuse the way I’ve been treated and spoken to by multiple different employees of theirs.

I’ve done plenty of shitty public facing jobs and so I dont want to immediately make anyone’s day worse for something that they can’t help but they are all a part of the whole and a lot of their attitudes (at least local to me) fucking suck so I am done giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Sorry I can’t offer any insight into why your issue is happening, maybe they are generally better in your area but for me I couldn’t find a reasonable reason as to why they were so consistenly terrible here. I’m not angry anymore and have accepted it but I still think they are a bunch of useless cunts, at least around here.

Sorry for filling your thread with what you were trying to avoid. My bad. I hope you get your parcel before Christmas :)

Fuck yeh!

Recently I answered the door to one and he exclaimed “you are lucky I came down your stairs, most of my colleagues refuse to” which explained why we have been getting more red slips in our small outdoor post box that is situated at the top of the stairs. What it didn’t explain is why the fuck the rest of them “refuse to”

Our stairs are identical to all the others on this street, do they refuse to go down all stairs in this street? I dont know.

To exacerbate this problem the sorting office to collect stuff from is open only 2 hours most days in a major UK city. Fuck the royal mail, they are useless cunts. I think they decided to try and compete with the likes of yodel for most useless delivery company.

I believe number 153 is due to be released next month so a shit ton left and I can’t wait! XD

Oooo I do love Mistborn!

This week for me has been pretty boring to report in this thread but I have exclusively read Deathlands books.

I’ve read 5 this week and I’m half way through the sixth which is the 32nd book, still enjoying it and just wanted to keep going with the story this week so did!

Book related I’m probably going to start editing the second Underwood and Flinch novel tonight down into a nice audio book experience.

No worries, I’ll look forward to hopefully hearing your thoughts on some of them in future weekly threads :D

I really like the Dark Tower series, the world and how it is built, the concept etc but the last couple of books are quite frankly mid at best. They aren’t bad but I find the end kind of unsatisfying.

I really like the majority of his work but my favourites in no particular order would probably be -

The Talisman

Needful Things

Desperation

The Regulators

Black House

Cell

11/22/63

The Green Mile

I think xD I didn’t want to make the list too long but honestly it is hard to pick for me.

Yeh, definitely up there with my favourites too!

I’m pretty partial to a bit of 555-5555 but I dont think I dislike any of his work tbh!

New Rygby album Custom Character a dubstep album with a chiptune / videogame kinda vibe running through it.

What’s reddit? Is that like a new alternative to Lemmy? ;P

Yeh I know what you mean, acid rain is somewhat unique even within Lorns catalogue. It just has a different kind of feel and unfortunstely I can’t offer anything else really.

Dolor has some similar stuff here and there and did an EP with Lorn which is good stuff but it still isnt Acid Rain xD

Thanks for loads of information, it makes it sound even more interesting still. The steep learning curve was the only thing that put me off slightly when you originally mentioned it and I planned to go onto YouTube and try and find some information that way and try and get a sort of idea of the game before jumping into it for sure.

Stuff with a steep learning curve are often much more rewarding once you can get past that barrier of entry so that aspect does also appeal to me some what. Ive just started a new game recently and dont have a lot of time for games so tend to just play one at a time but I’m going to try and absorb some info on this in the mean time.

Thanks for the recommendation and additional info!

Lorn - Acid Rain

Followed by the rest of his discography.

Then take a dive into Culprate Deliverance and αριθμός τέσσερα (Number Four) albums.

Oooo that cataclysm games sounds interesting. Gonna have to check that out and see what’s up!

Thanks for the link, that is where I will be going to do just that.

I would use Linux if I could but sadly I can’t.

Pixel 6a on Graphene, never had that. Very occasionally the entire app will shit itself and just close but that is maybe once a month and i use it daily. Never affected the phone as a whole though.
