Its a fucking bed, not a DVD from amazon.
Yeah, fair dos, but if you've got room to get it in without too much aggro? I'd just open the side gate, tell them to sling it down the path and let the neighbours fetch it out from there. Appreciate that's probably not possible for everyone. I think I might have to enter myself in the "You didn't think it through" thread

Appreciate that's probably not possible for everyone. I think I might have to enter myself in the "You didn't think it through" thread Yeah, i see where you're comming from. On a related subject: Say you have taken a letter or parcel for a neighbor because they were not in. Now, for me, the neighbor knows where the letter/parcel is, based on the slip through their door, there for its perfectly reasonable for them to come and collect it. My neighbors seem to think otherwise, I've held on to things for days and they just don't collect it, they wait for me to drop it round to them.

Appreciate that's probably not possible for everyone. I think I might have to enter myself in the "You didn't think it through" thread I dunno, we have got neighbours across the road who are having a massive ding dong about parking outside each others houses, even though both have designated parking round the back of their places (although the people it most affects is actually us as they end up parking opposite our drive which makes getting in and out awkward) this has now led to both refusing to accept parcels for the other and thus as we work at home we get a constant stream of bloody parcels. We did take in a bloody massive one the other week, but it was picked up with an apology and a bottle of wine from the neighbour! TBH we just accept them as its less hassle than falling out with people, I have seen the toxic way neighbours can fall out too many times in planning circles.

Eh? That's just advanced twattery. Our neighbours quite often take things in for us as they're in more than we are, I always try to pick it up ASAP and apologise for them being disrupted. Simple manners, surely?

At work there are 6 urinals in groups of 3. Today someone decided to use the middle one, meaning both of us had to be inconvenienced when I took up my position.

I assumed that his neighbors were obviously a long way away in America?

This doesn't really annoy me but couldn't think where else to put it... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48839428Being a MofD pundit gets a pretty good salary, can sort of understand Lineker as he does other programmes etc but £410k+ for Shearer and £210k+ for Jermaine Jenas

Problem solved in Newnan, GA, USA - they just leave all of our parcels on the porch, including most that require a signature. Sometimes they'll ring the bell, but then scarper anyway. The fun bit is when you go away for a few days and come back to a pile of parcels - oddly, nothing has been pinched yet.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

if it's j16 like, fine. if it's Bruce Street bridges like...ut-oh. this made me laugh though. Gary Sumner, the council’s cabinet member for strategic planning, said: “This is unique in that we are putting in the infrastructure before the homes go in
that it's unique says it all about infrastructure planning really.
