19th October, 2024: The First Battle of Ypres.
It’s official: I’ve had bits delivered.
Including a stand for my TV: which is nice.
It means I can see the screen my coffee table.
I’ve also had a sofa from Wayfair delivered: by Evri.
They had told me the thing was going to turn up between 19:00 and 21:00.
So, of course, I headed the Romford branch of CeX: to sell off my old AppleTV 4k and old eight terabyte external drive.
I got on the train by 12:30 … which is when I got a text message from Evri telling me they were coming between twelve and two, 12:00 and 14:00.
They left it outside the building, when they couldn’t get in.
Outside the building.
I’m not happy.
Granted, I was out.
But … ?
A few seconds work — pressing the Trade button on the doorbell panel —would’ve got the driver in, and dropping the thing at my door!
Ho-hum!

Just as a bit of politics?
Apparently, Tim Cook — the CEO of Apple — has complained about Apple’s EU tax case.
To no less a person than Donald Trump.
At least, that’s what Donald Trump said in an interview, yesterday.
According to various news reports … ?
Apple has ‘ … declined to comment.’
Their usual policy on this things looks sensible, under the circumstances … !
