Ian’s Mum (can’t I use your real name??)

1. Blood pressure is high, always is as I’m overweight, I don’t stress about that.
2. No, not that I know of…
3. No but did jot down a number yesterday, we’ve decided to hold off until we come back from Spain.
4. I dunno, he gets pretty stressed when one of his balls rolls under the sofa… ohhh..
5. Yes I have. And Tai Chi and.. lots of others.
6. It’s getting delivered to work, where we have 24/7 staff so it’ll picked up here.

And don’t worry, I’m not really stressing, call it artistic license… I don’t actually stress about that much, a bit like Ian… although I’m not quite as horizontal as he is.

1) Gordon have you had your blood pressure checked recently?
2) Is this camera’s arrival going to save someone’s life?
3) Have you found a plumber yet?
4) Watch Ollie you will never see him stressed about ‘stuff’ ..just his next meal!
5) Have you thought about meditation?
6) When it does arrive you will probably have to go to the depot to pick it up anyway… word of warning..some people get their cars bumped there.. (young Mrs L) so ask someone who can walk there to collect it. If its our town that would be me.

Update: I now have a tracking number with ParcelForce. Upon entering said number in their tracker website I get the following message:

“Progress of the parcel you’ve enquired about is displayed below.”

Guess what is “displayed below”?

NOTHING!!!

Christ on a bike, even a “no information available” message would be something.. you can’t just leave it blank. Fudgeknackers!!

Sometimes it happens the way you think it should though.

Last week, I rang 3 mobile (I know, I know), and told them my phone needed repairing. They said they’d pick it up the next day, and I’d have it back in three working days.

I hung up thinking “no fucking way dude”, but then they picked it up the next day, and I had it back in three working days, before I even got to the “repeatedly checking status of delivery/order” stage.

Probably the exception to the rule, though.
