@HammerToe :) Thanks!
@Kavey Might be able to train it, too. Going to leave it there for now and see how it goes.
@Kavey Indeedy. (Also, big one has a picture of the outside of the restaurant on it. Within sight of the outside of the restaurant. Odd.)
Woah. That was the 345th post on cafesigns.tumblr.com :)

Why don’t I use the self-serve checkouts? I prefer to deal with people. If that bothers you, I’ll happily make an exception, in your case.
It seems from the mirror that this Hallowe’en I’ve come as a desperate warning from my future self.

Missed the Bristol Zombie Walk waiting in for @parcelforce, who didn’t turn up. Again. Going out to at least get some daylight.
@leharve80 @Bristolvor Cool! The official Acorn tape deck, too. Extra swish :)
AHappierDay Nope, fuck that pic.twitter.com/Lc0csbgh7O
@Bristolvor Apparently they only work until about 1:30 on a Saturday, so I may be safe to get out of here while there’s still daylight :(
@Bristolvor Indeed. At least people under house arrest might know when their sentence will end, @parcelforce.
Just spent ten minutes on the phone for @parcelforce not to tell me anything more than I already knew about the location of my parcel.
@njj4 That would actually be an improvement on the current service.
Thinking I should probably just assume @parcelforce aren’t coming today and get on with my life.
@chrisphin I’m not married, so I have to take the piss out of myself for refusing to drop the apostrophe in ‘Hallowe’een’!
Still no Parcelforce yet. *sigh*
Half the time of taking a photo indoors is dusting everything and shooting it again once you’ve seen it on a big screen.

@Stagandhounds Cool :) They were doing their best, and I don’t think they quite grasp Bristol Friday night traffic. Yet.
So. No parcel. No card. No phone call. No @parcelforce website, even, it seems. I’m starting to doubt their existence. Or mine.
@Stagandhounds If you’re expecting bunch of French performers in a van, they’ll be a while. Just tried to direct them to you from Hotwells!
@Hello_Im_Nik Sigh. I came home from work specially to wait in for @parcelforce. Now I go back empty-handed.
Just had a text from @parcelforce to tell me a card has been left because I wasn’t in. AS I SIT HERE BY MY FRONT DOOR WAITING.
@chubbybannister Absolutely!

@shauninman Hrm. Only time I saw that was when I had the Evernote extension installed. And you’ve eliminated DNS. I’m out of ideas.
Left my exam revision to the last minute, as usual. I’m pretty awful at studying.
@shauninman (Come to think of it, the Timelines tab might make that kind of thing more apparent.)
@shauninman See anything suspicious if you turn on the Web Inspector and check out the Network tab?
@shauninman Got any Safari extensions installed?
