When you see St. George's Cross these days it's usually either because the world cup is on or you've found a racist.
For me, it's usually the Six Nations or the cricket.

@RaceProUK The world cup is when everyone hangs them from their windows and flies little flags on their cars

Paging @Polygeekery because UPS
Remember the bit in the first Iron Man movie where Jim Cramer is trashing Stark Industries, and he rants that "this is a weapons company that DOESN'T MAKE WEAPONS!!! "?
This is about how I feel about UPS. How have they not gone out of business yet, seeing as how there are so many examples of them being a package delivery company that DOESN'T DELIVER PAKCAGES!!! ???
I can't think of a single time I've ever had something get shipped by UPS and it went off without a hitch. The first time was one of the most worthy: the delivery date came and went... nothing. So I called them up, gave them the tracking number, and they said they couldn't find my house to deliver.
The house was right where it should be, so I asked them to verify the address, and it was some garbled nonsense that, if it did exist, would have placed it about 5 miles out of town! Of course they couldn't find a house there; somehow they got the address completely wrong! "But don't worry," the lady said. "We've already sent you a postcard with information about how to take delivery of your package."
I tried pointing out the absurdity inherent in that statement, but she wasn't having any of it. That's just policy, and nothing I could do could resolve things in any reasonable way. I ended up having to go out to the depot and pick it up myself. (This was not the last time I've had to do that with UPS, either.)
Then there was the time when the driver left a note on my door saying the package had been left with the apartment manager, which was a flat-out lie as the apartment manager wasn't home that day. And the time when the delivery didn't come at all, and when I called up UPS they said that the driver reported he couldn't get access because he didn't have the gate code. (Another blatant lie, as I didn't live in, or even anywhere close to, a gated community!)
It's gotten to the point where I will explicitly ask vendors to not ship with UPS when I order something these days.

I get multiple packages each week that are delivered by UPS. I can't remember the last time there was a problem with any of them.

Ah, so you have one of those addresses that breaks the system expectations?
-
@boomzilla Maybe you've just gotten lucky then, because they've been routinely abyssmal in my experience, across 3 different decades and 6 different addresses in 4 different states.
-
I've relied on UPS exactly once. They delivered the package to the wrong person in a town over five miles from where I addressed it.
I'm inclined to agree they're useless.
-
@Tsaukpaetra Nope. The address she read to me was nothing even close to my address. Not even like "Mason must have fat fingered it when he entered his address on the website" or something. Just completely wrong.
-
@masonwheeler turns out that the grandfather of the guy who drives the UPS truck in this area grew up in our house, so I invited him in for coffee. He had plenty of stories to tell about the house and playing here as a kid.
I have never had any problems with UPS.
-
@masonwheeler I think UPS might just suck where you're at (that is, you are in a bad driver's territory). Don't have trouble here.

Does UPS exist in the UK?

Once when I was a teen I forgot to turn off my computer before I left the house.
My mom decided to turn it off the only way she knew how: by yanking the power plug off the outlet.
She then called me in panic, because the computer was beeping like mad.That's the only interesting UPS story I have.

Yes, but this package was all Stateside. If I was sending something to a UK address, I'd use Parcelforce.

They deliver them. They just don't know where they are.
Mon: Your package will arrive Tue
Tue: We don't know where it is
Tue: It will be delivered Thu
Arrive home tue evening, yup, there it is.

Here's the pledge:
I pledge allegiance to the piece of fabric
with red, blue, and white parts.
And to the Republic, for which it stands
One nation, except during the 1860s
Demonstrably divisible
With liberty and justice
For white Christian men

@obeselymorbid I've seen a similar photo, left ad with a carrot and right ad with a woman in all fours. But the location and the ads were completely different.
It's a conspiracy.!

Hello, Onedrive for Business open is very slow on Linux (Chrome/Firefox) but with very fast with a "Windows" user-agent. On Ubuntu/Linux 16.04 + Chrome/Firefox (last version), when I open:
I happened to work for a company that did a server stuff for the government, and competed with other companies on something that acessed the server stuff.
They modified "server stuff" to impose a delay on a certain competitor, and updated the server version without government consent.
I wish I had solid proof to get these fuckers in jail.

Man installs DOS 3.10, upgrades windows versions all the way up to Windows 10.
After installing windows 8.1, windows 10 was installed by leaving the room for 10 minutes.
