So I'm sat here on the 'puter, and hear Mr Postie scan a package, and before he has actually put it through the letterbox, I got the email to say it had been delivered.
That's how technology is supposed to work :y

Same here TB our posties are brilliant always cheerful over the last few months excellent service, one even helped me take a tree down when he was passing !

From time to time we have a 'girl' postman.
Always smiling and easy on the eye if I say so myself.

They've been superb throughout. When you consider how much more mail order stuff most of us have been ordering in the last few months, remarkable really.

Obviously not. I have a bucketload of shit I'm waiting for from ebay, including tracked, which have yet to be recognised by RM or the associated courier, beyond "we are waiting for your parcel from the sender"

Our Posties are always happy and pleasant, and do whatever they can to save punters having to collect :)
I was just impressed with the technology - I heard the bleep as it was scanned, and had the email within a second :)

It's taken less than four days for two ebay purchases to get to the UK from the US. Expecting delivery tomorrow or Tuesday.
I need to chase Pelican Parts though as my order from them left Los Angeles 11 days ago :-\

Yeah, I find US sellers are generally less lazy than Brits and Chinglise. Although, it often gets hung up in customs from the US and not gone through eBays International's postal service - obviously not the sellers fault.

Yes, but have you heard the latest on the US Postal Service?
It would seem, by way of many news reports that Trump is deliberately slowing down the speed of collections and deliveries in a bid to "fix" the postal voting system in his favour for the forthcoming Presidential elections. Even the new head of the USPS, Louis DeJoy, is a Trump supporter and it is said he is doing Trumps bidding. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/16/politics/dejoy-post-office-hot-seat-election-2020/index.html
When you see the piles of mailboxes that have been withdrawn from use in cities like New York, you can quiet believe the allegations.
What a mess US politics is in!! ::) ::)
Bless the British Royal Mail I say, and yes I have nothing but praise for how they speedily handle our letters and parcels. 8) 8) :y :y

However CNN chooses to spin it, Trump will serve a second term... The alternative is a chap whi doesn't know what day of the week it is and his sidekick that failed to get a single party nomination four years ago :-X
There is something to be said for preventing postal voting to prevent electoral fraud... Middle America that might once have voted Democrat will almost certainly vote Republican because the Democrats have done nothing to prevent the minority rioting in areas that used to be the epitome of Middle American decency, the only way that these treasonous mobs can get control is by rigging the voting and remote voting is the weak link. You will note that the only complainants are those that would actively seek to commit electoral fraud and use it to the detriment of everyone who thinks differently from the extreme socialist SJW rhetoric.
-
If the US postal vote system is anywhere near as corrupt as the UK version then Trump is doing a service to democracy.
I dont think he is a shoe in for a second term though. I did before the pandemic, but he has shown himself to be a complete ignoramous during the last 6 months or so.

I still hope he wins though for two reasons.
1. He isnt of the Liberal left. Imo the Liberal left are destroying the Western world from the inside. Whether its deliberate or through naivety and stupidity isnt clear, but the result will be the same.
2. He recognises that China intends to dominate the world through sheer economic power, and is actualy making an effort to try to prevent it from happening.
What have the Democrats ever done to try and stop it ?
His hints at delaying the election have sent the pink snowflakes into an enormous fit of the vapours, and yet.....

I can vouch for that, I very often have one of their 7.5 tonner's glued to my rear bumper when I'm travelling home from a late shift at silly o'clock in the morning.
Do speed limits mean nothing to these drivers. :D ;D

Nope. They used to actively file tachograph records in a locked room with a slot in the door. Ok, that may be an exaggerated metaphor, but the Queens mail cannot be delayed at almost any cost.

How is Trump stopping the march of the Chinese?
Many American critics are pointing out that is the problem. Despite of his strong talk he has done little in practical terms to pull on China's reigns over Human Rights in that land, the implementation of a dictatorship in Honk Kong, the building and militarisation of new islands in the South China Sea, and the constant threats to Taiwan, not forgetting all the internet chanagins China is claimed to be involved in.
Trump is no hard right wing American President but a puppy in disguise that just talks with a greatly reduced vocabulary with his favourite word being "Great". There is nothing 'in there' to equal Presidents such as F D Roosevelt, JF Kennedy, H W Bush, or even Regan who knew how to act and bang the table! A hard nosed President would have used his military might in a way to warn China, whilst not starting a war - in the short term.
If Trump stays in office the march of the Chinese will speed up and result in the further eventual (inevitable?) reduction of American power. God help us all!! :o :o :o

The look on his aides faces crack me up, they look as though they want the ground to open up & swallow them with some of his idiotic statements.

Not to mention $600 a week in wage support for those still affected by the impact of Batflu.
Actually a lot more than the BBC give him credit for. For instance, the US economy is at its strongest despite Batflu, he hasn't started any wars, he gave each State the opportunity and responsibility to address Batflu as they each saw fit whilst simultaneously pledging federal assistance upon request. This is also true of the 'peaceful' protests. States that have taken firm responses have had limited trouble, whilst those that have taken the knee and not asked for suppression support (in some cases wanting Federal cash to pay for the aftermath) have allowed months of rioting and looting to happen causing New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland and the like to slide into decline.
If you believe the media, Trump is responsible for Racism, Batflu, under performing democrat led cities and states, inefficient postal service, ICE policy and poor people. In reality, media bias, social media and an outspoken over exposed lefty farce are largely to blame for most everything. Most of the policies that Trump gets trashed for are actually Clinton and Obama legacies, not his. The reality is that he has done more for ALL Americans than Clinton and Obama combined, and it's only his first term.
You may not agree with his presentation/delivery style, and he may not be a conventional politician, but he's not afraid to step up and get things done if he believes that it needs doing...

I think Trump has been very good for the US. Maybe not the rest of the world, but who cares.
And he has slightly clipped the wings of the Chinese, which is only a good thing.
His handling of this sniffle thing I've heard about as been, errr, "different" ;D. But as I believe the global population needs dramatically reducing, and the US has an unfair number of stupid people, maybe he should inject far more with Domestos.

He's a character & personally I like people like that I'm not bothered at my age whether he's good bad or whatever in my eyes he's totally crackers but good luck to him the boys done good..😀

The trouble with the US is is that each State has different ways of managing everything. Our county councils can't even organise a standardised recycling policy, so imagine what our Batflu response would have looked like if it had been left to them.
The Senate and Congress have a tough job of trying to more or less align those States for the greater good. El Presidente is the elected CEO of the whole lot, and half of the people he presides over are politically obliged to disagree with him.
Given the amount of shit that gets thrown at him, he actually does a pretty decent job imho.

I'm with Mick. I generally find Trump quite entertaining and as he hasn't done anything to upset my little world, I've always found the hysteria about him bemusing to be honest. ::)
I hope he wins the election, not because I'm a supporter as such, but he'll carry on making me laugh and if that triggers the lefties into another hysterical meltdown, then all power to him and all those who voted for him! :y
