Grrr Argh!!!

I am having much hate with our postal service^[1] at the moment

1) My Derren Brown tickets have gone missing in the post. Cue me spending nearly 35 minutes on the phone to TicketMaster on Saturday to get the original tickets cancelled and new tickets to be waiting for me at the Box Office. *

2) My postal voting forms have gone missing in the post. My wonderfully corrupt council have been quite unhelpful about it (I even offered to go down to the Council Offices and complete my postal voting form there and then - but they wouldn't have any of it). They told us to fill out a proxy voting form (which means my MiL would be voting for me). His Lordship took the proxy forms to the Council Offices today to hand them in and the refused to take them as it was ONE MINUTE PAST FIVE! So we won't be voting in the General Election and the whole thing can go and DIAF.

3) A cheque doylefan22 sent me the other week hasn't turned up yet either.

[1] not with our postman because he is awesome and teased me when he cycled past me yesterday morning when I was walking to baby!group. (Usually when I answer the door to him I'm in my jammies)

*This then led to me spending 25 minutes on hold to the theatre to make sure that their box office will actually be open when we get to the theatre for me to get the tickets.

There is a reason I call them Royal Fail. The amount of times they've left parcels on our doorstep in full view of the road or posted stuff that should be signed for through the letter box...

oh dear, I apologize for bringing up the post office in a comment I just replied to to you.

Not accepting your forms ONE MINUTE past 5 is effing ridiculous.

Make sure you complain to RM. It won't make a jot of difference as they have a folder full of Andrew's complaints and the one time a manager called around Andrew was out, but at least it'll be on file...

What flavour is your council? Apart from stupid...

Hello :)

I'm gatecrashing because my buddy (a) meivocis speaks wonderfully of you and (b) DERREN!!!!

I'm still buzzing from seeing him last night and although I know it's all hush hush, I want to know what someone else though of it!! Hope you had a great time.
