Agreed. We take off and nuke the entire lot from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.thistle_ said:

judging by online comments, their drivers are under such pressure to stay on schedule that they lie about people being out in order to make up time
helpdesk/support seemed clueless, multiple attempts to resolve went nowhere
in the end, emailing the ceo (i.e. his pa reads it) with a succinct history started getting things fixed, assigned it to one of their escalation managers
they had import costs corrected, agreed with my refusal to pay the customs handling fee due to their multiple errors, then still missed another delivery as i "was out"
rescheduled, then on the day get yet another message claiming that just a few minutes ago they'd called but i was out, i immediately contacted the manager...
presto, a very hassled looking guy turned up at the last minute of the promised deadline
presumably he'd got a rocket, but no sympathy from me as he'd lied about me being out earlier, and he or his peers had done the same on all the previous missed deliveries
my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -
The escalation manager hung up on me because I wouldn’t let him go 😂 No way in hell the driver came back to re-deliver, more lies. Just hope the bike is ok after being on and off vans all week.sungod said:

What’s the big ride?oxoman said:Morning Slackers. Chill day at home. Haircut, ride, paint, prep vs bike for tomorrow's big ride.
Indeed: a ride should never be preceded by a run and followed by a swim.sungod said:

I think it's Ironman ™®©webboo said:
Can you not just say I’ve done an Ironman when you have completed the Outlawhomers_double said:@tlw1 I've entered IM Bolton, July 2nd. Its fairly local to me, around 20 miles or so.
The entry fee is a bit steep, £500 plus a 10% "processing fee"
and there are alternative events, Outlaw being one but in reality nobody is going to have a clue when you announce "I'm an Outlaw..." whereas Ironman is a known brand.
I also swam yesterday, my garmin says 3550m but in reality it adds a few lengths here and there so I'll probably settle on 3200m or so in 56 minutes.
I also got on the bike yesterday for what might be the windiest ride ever recorded in the history of the bike.
And in other news, WFW, early finish, WFH for MrsHD
a colleague does ironman, ranking got him an invite to the world championships in utah this year, finished in the top 200
it's a good ride spoiled by a swim and a run

If it's any consolation it took them 8 attempts to come and collect a load of laptops from our office.seanoconn - gruagach craic!2 -

We have a UPS contract, I refuse to believe their drivers are overworked. Lazy phucker spends at least 2 hours every afternoon snoozing in our tea room waiting for his van to be loaded. Now the FedEx man has taken to joining him. Lazy cnuts the pair of them. Maybe they worked hard in the past to get the easy collection routes, or more likely they're shirking phucktards that have always played the system and deserve to rot in hell.
You'll be fine, done London to Brighton off road several times, including on the CX, and it's over 80 miles from here including riding to the start and bits of faffing.oxoman said:
Quickest way on the CX, but I had a couple of falls. Most comfortable was on the 29er. Might fit drops to that and do it again.0
