Is Ash vs. Evil Dead on any particular channel here? Because I've been desperate to view it since the first trailer hit.

Annoyingly there's no actual way to watch it legally here.

FECK IT! Something like Syfy (or any channel that I get from my current provider) better pick the damn thing up.

I've to send a few bits off by Parcel Motel tomorrow, can I pay & print the labels for them today? Or can you only do it on the day they've to go into the lockers?

Afaik you can print it anytime and then you'll scan a certain part of it (the smaller barcode I think) when you get there and it'll open the box to leave it in.

It's the only thing that's confusing me, as in, how will they know when I plan to sent the parcel? It doesn't seem to ask for a date of sending, so how do they ensure there are free lockers there? Plus, if I print the label tonight, am I charged for tonight?? So many questions

Corholio · 31-03-2016 04:51PM

You can print them off and send them anytime. Maybe there's a 30 day thing or something like that but unlikely to ever come into effect.

I've had to manually type the barcode anytime I've sent one through it because the scanner never worked.

How can they ensure there are free lockers? So I'm only charged once the locker is opened/closed, as opposed to when I pay & print the label?

You only pay at the end of completing the details of what and to who you're sending it to. The fee is really only a 'sending' fee rather than a 'stay' fee, you just pay it once to send it.

I think in regards to how will they know, it's in the system where you will be sending it from so I would guess it keeps lockers free, or something to that effect.

No you pay when the label is sent to your email to print off.

It says something at the end like 'You will be charged €4.50 to send this Parcel. Press confirm to proceed' or something like that. Once you click the button it charges your card or the balance if you have some credit there.

So I can pay now, & send it tomorrow, & not be charged for two days? Maybe I'm confusing this with receiving a parcel, where you only have a limited time to collect it before incurring additional feels?

Yes that's right, there isn't an amount of time like receiving it. You can just send it whenever it seems, I couldn't see anything on their website about there being a cutoff point.

Grand, it certainly appears that way...I just don't know how they account for actually when people are going to send these things....what loads turn up to post stuff on a certain day like & they run outta lockers

Anyway, I guess that's unlikely...will pack the stuff up & print the labels tonight

Myrddin · 31-03-2016 05:14PM

So it has todays date as the "ship date" on the label now...hmm...hopefully it still accepts the parcel tomorrow then!

Oh yes it will, I have often printed it out and not sent it until the day after.

o1s1n · 31-03-2016 06:01PM

Same here, I've sent quite a few things via PM and don't think I shipped any of them on the date I printed the label.

Never incurred any additional fees apart from the initial one.

Star Lord · 31-03-2016 06:39PM

When you put it into the locker, it'll let them know, and they'll pick it up next time they're there. They don't charge you by how long it's there/not there, they just charge you to send it.

Amalgam · 01-04-2016 10:21AM

They just changed the head.. The cover of the french publication, Le Nouvel Obs from last week..

"Un môme de 6 ans avec des armes nucléaires" : comment arrêter Donald Trump ?" (a six year old kid with Nukes, can Donald trump be stopped?)

http://tempsreel.nouvelobs.com/monde/elections-americaines/20160322.OBS6929/un-mome-de-6-ans-avec-des-armes-nucleaires-comment-arreter-donald-trump.html

Strangely, they seem to have snuffed this cover for the french domestic market, I can no longer find it anywhere online, we get a physical copy, by subscription, in an, 'international edition'.

What power up would he have..

So something was pointed out to me last night by a chip tuner...

Tell me about it, when I tap the link I get the choice to open it in Play Music, but then once the app opens it forced me to open it in a browser!

The baseline sounds generic to me, so I don't recognise the original chip tune.
