Mark: I just asked the gaffer if I can book a few days off work and he went absolutely ballistic at me!

David: Yeah, probably best to stay away from him today, he's got a right bag on him for some reason.

David: I ordered a new PS4 and the courier lobbed it over the fence into my garden in the pissing rain so now it's ruined.

Simon: Wow dude, what courier did they use?

David: They used Yodel, despite the fact that I asked for DPD

Simon: Haha, You've Been Yodelled mate
