Sun and Doves coverage is probably ha,mpered by licensing laws, but agreed - it seems a bit pointless given that nothing meaninful will come through until hours later


We have a few Americans on board the forum - they might have a better idea - but I reckon house parties = better than pubs for this one

Did everyone see the race-reversed poster of McCain and Obama that Metro reproduced this morning?


The poster campaign was an interesting idea in the image obsessed world of marketing. Here's a big and arresting picture of our candidates that focuses on their race. And here's a small caption reminding us not to think about race too much. And do NOT think about a blue elephant.


On a more petty point, I was fascinated by the result. McCain looked just like himself, but Obama looked really different, and suddenly kind of 'Troy McClure'.

The Obama one looked quite good... I thought the McCain one looked rubbish though, more like an oompa-loompa than a black man.

Friend was over from Texas last w/e, he was saying how he watched the debates with split screen and how while Obama spoke McCain was gurning and scribbling furiously!!


Have another friend who after much googling has been disappointed not to find a link between McCain and the oven chips!!!

And the offending lines of that article still ring true,


"The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

Who is going to stay and watch? I will do my best and have power napped to prepare.


I pray to God (which i don't believe in) that Body Odour gets elected - it will be such a kick to the balls of the rest of the world if Hicksville wins the day and Gramps gets the nod. Lets hope Mr Obama has eight years and uses to show the world that America can be influencial for all the right reasons and more importantly that Americans get into that mindset. Otherwise it will be remembered as 8 years of weak America and Laura Bush will be elected in 2016 to invade Brazil.


GO BARACK.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
