    My cunt neighbour ordering shit online when she's never fucking home and my wife continuing to take them in for her. 4 packages are sat in my porch for her. 4. Four. FOUR! it's starting to resemble a pissing sorting office.

    Steal the best looking one. They're never going to suspect you're a thief if you hand over the other three.

    I’ll say it again, never answer your door unless you’re expecting someone or something.

    The joys of a front porch means I don't even need to answer for my own deliveries, unless I'm expecting something expensive.

    The diamond for my wife's engagement ring was delivered early morning when I was still asleep but she was up. She didn't answer because she "didn't know who it would be" so it sat in Londis post-office for a week before I could collect it. That was a fun wait.

    A few weeks ago I had an Amazon delivery which had a delivery window of 11:45am-1pm.

    At 11:15 it was 3 stops away but it was about an hour away.

    It was delivered at 8pm and I believe it wasn't until 7:30 that it went to 2 stops away.

    Your man stopped to have a little play on it before delivering.

    Just being thankful it was that he decided to try out and not your fleshlight.

    For coming home to parcels in the porch?

    Parcel in the porch does make a good double entendre, admittedly.

    How much do shops earn for taking Amazon parcels in for collection? I ask because I get most things sent to the Co-op at the bottom of the street, and you always end up with a queue forming behind you whilst they fumble around trying to find it, so unless each parcel comes with a good few pence attached I always wonder whether it's worth their time and effort. The less said about accepting returns the better.

    There's nothing more infuriating than seeing the number of stops away tick down 5, 4, 3, 2 and then getting a "sorry, we couldn't deliver your parcel today". Or even a "we tried to deliver your parcel but you weren't in".

    A decent amount, that's why they have starting plastering delivery lockers all over train stations as a source of passive revenue.

    It varies. I know a guy who runs a corner shop and he gets 35p per parcel from Yodel. Apparently bigger places can get double that.

    Funny to see shops go from the place you bought stuff from to the place you pick up the stuff you bought from elsewhere. Might work out better for everyone in the end.

    I had a call from a UK mobile number earlier today. A woman with a thick Indian accent stated my name, said she was from dukdukduk Ltd and told me that the call was being recorded. Then she asked me if I'd like to hear about 'investment options in the stock market'. I said that I wouldn't. She said well, you may not be interested now but it could be interesting in the future. I rang off.

    What sort of a scam is that? Was it going to be like a Mellin situation where I give her a grand over the phone? Novel stuff.

    Does the neighbour expect you to go round and drop them off?

    Cadbury heroes. What a pointless affair.

    My Mrs finished work for Christmas yesterday and brought home the last of the tub they had at reception for visitors. Jackpot, you might think. Nope. Nothing but Fudge and Éclairs. Atleast with Celebrations it doesn't get worse than a bounty.

    Still, atleast it's not a load of toffee coins.

    I think I've come to accept that most of the big chocolate assortments are shit. There's always too many of the shit ones.

    Just looking at the Heroes selection and they have Wispa, Dairy Milk and Twirl. Those are all just chocolate with nothing else. Pointless. And the creme egg ones are shite. The fudge is shit and although I don't mind the odd eclair, there's always more of them than anything else.

    Just give me some ferrero rocher or a box of the red lindt ones.

    I imagine there won't be any left, unlike the dreaded tub of eclairs that's usually around towards New Year.

    I bought some naughty percent chocolate the other day to go into a chilli con carne (try it, it's amazing). Had a square off the side and it went down beautifully. Definitely a slippery slope from there to Bridget Jones territory.

    https://www.chocolatetradingco.com/b...-chocolate-bar

    This remains the best chocolate I've ever had, but £10 for a small bar is I accept ludicrous.

    Willie's chocolate is really good and UK based, which is nice. Price less bonkers.

    The guy also seems like a complete legend and was the inspiration for the best ever story on Off Menu.

    There's your gateway drug, Spikey.

    Tony's is from the Netherlands, and it's everywhere here. I like the salted caramel one but it's nothing amazingly special overall. The shape of the bars is also a bit annoying as it's in non-cube form, meaning the bits are all random sizes. Really inefficient to eat [/markcorrigan]

    Tony's is a terrible name for Dutch chocolate. Cultural Appropriation.

    Fudge and éclairs are decent no?

    Bounty's are the real crime.

    I actually like Bounty now.

    Fudge is the pits and Eclairs are just too much hassle and take too much time to enjoy. All that wasted time you could have been shoving other ones into your fat face.
