Chivalry

Well, I haven't got anything in particular to say, but I just feel like posting.
I'm just taking a slow day, still trying to get rid of this last bit of illness.
I've got Oxford Collapse on, I'm digging it, and I'm looking out my window into the grey day.
I notice for some reason that a whole load of people are having trees cut down.
I hate this. Why cut one down that's 100 years old simply to accomodate your new plan for landscaping?
Not to mention that there are heaps of construction vehicles whizzing here and there.
It's one thing to cut it down when it poses a hazzard to things, or if it's dead.
I just hope those are the reasons for this time.

Anyway, I'm rather fumed, as I have an ongoing issue that remains unresolved with hmv online.
I had ordered five parcels about two months ago.
Three arrived, and two have been lost.
This happens 60% of the time with hmv.co.uk, and I proceed with them through a replacement routine.
This always works, and I get my items.
For some reason, this isolated time they claim no liability as my postal code was not provided.
They then proceed to tell me that they will not issue a refund unless the items are returned to them.
What the fuck?!
If the items are returned none other.
So I'm sat here money down and no items.
I keep asking if I can provide the information they need and repeat the process.
The only response I receive is an automated one which explains nothing.
I've sent another correspondance today...we'll see how long it takes them to respond...five days?
And I've sent an e-mail to the post office asking them for assistance.
I would like a resolve!

Chivalry is dead.
