So the police are a bit like couriers then? ... you have 5 seconds to get to the door before they assume you're not in.
Perhaps they should leave a card ... Quote:

To be fair to the police, must be a difficult balance between "IT worker not getting out of bed" and "bad guy destroying evidence" - I suspect skewed by the fact they deal with more of the latter!

Haha
![]() If they're anything like Yodel they'll sit in a puddle on the driveway for a bit and send you an email to say the house was successfully raided! Last edited by MikkiJayne; 24th January 2018 at 10:22 PM. |

Yodel do time travel as well!
Toady my Yodel delivery was marked online as delivered; it actually arrived about 10 minutes later as I was typing a complaint into their online chat service. ![]()

Oh, don't get me started on Yodel!
Amazon's couriers are just as bad -- they often attempt to deliver my parcels to houses with the same door number on a different street! Just yesterday, the Amazon courier tried to deliver MY parcel next door (the numbers are clearly marked on both doors). There was nobody in. Fortunately he knocked on my door to ask if I'd take it for them!

An interesting new Ethereum (ERC-20) token that I figured was worth a punt:
https://www.carvertical.com/ CMC: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/carvertical/ BCT ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2561085 WhitePaper: https://www.carvertical.com/carvertical-whitepaper.pdf Intro Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHZ6w42HjJo Total supply is about 10 billion, so the tokens are never going to reach Bitcoin prices, but I think a few dollars is possible if the project is successful.

Hi MikkiJayne,
I have 5 or 6 computer fans from an old Dell desk side server which you are welcome to for just postage cost. An old post had a picture from memory. Message me if interested. Cheers Richard
