From Parcelforce’s Conditions of Carriage:

  2. Couldn't they spell "kiss our arses"?

  3. So, in other words ' we're always right even when we are wrong'.

    Must be a French company at heart then.

    (good to see two posts in fairly quick succession - do keep it up; you've been missed)

  5. Fly - Quite!

    Savvy - Not much more one can say.

    Steve - I believe lawyers prefer the phrase 'nostrum puga pygae basere'.

    Fancy - Now it all falls into place!

    Rol - I don't think 'competent' is in their vocabulary. Must be a mistake.

  7. Strewth! Now try taking that to the European Court of Justice in Strasburg (just for a laugh, like).

  8. This has an odd resemblance to the clarity of the pile of student essays I am marking at the moment.
    Do you think perhaps we are missing out on something and everybody does actually think and talk like this nowadays, and it has passed the rest of us by?
    I hope your New Year, subject to the consumption of alcohol (whose full force and effect, notwithstanding festivity, can not be validated in this jurisdiction) is happy, fruitful, and packed with officious gobbledegook!.
    May the Parcelforce be with you!
