Beat me to it! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Ta!
I guess I'm up for tomorrow's CCC OTD?
Are these still the current rules[^]?
|
|
|
|

The master list is now in my profile: OriginalGriff - Professional Profile[^] so it doesn't get scrolled into oblivion like a Lounge post.
But it's the same rules, just a different place.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
I notice that they refer to the original rules - do they still exist anywhere?
First time setting one of these and don't wish to commit a faux pas!

|

|

Not as such, but this should help: Cryptic crossword - Wikipedia[^] - it explains the types of clue from the POV of the solver.
Be aware: they are harder to write than to solve - or at least they are for me!

Having moved [does a quick count] at least a dozen times in my adult life, I've found labelling doesn't work. It really doesn't.
I number every box, actually with a letter and number as we've moved so often and reuse boxes and boxes go missing and and and ...
Then there is THE LIST. THE LIST is in capitals because THE LIST is important. For each box, I write on THE LIST what's in the box, something like #T17 - laser cannon, inflatable cheese grater, spare lemons, and then primary room for unpacking, e.g. Bedroom 4, spare dressing room. It is rare that one box contains only things for one room, but mostly they will have a room for most of the stuff.
On arrival the boxes are unloaded into the biggest unfurnished room, this time we have a walk-in garage which is ideal. Then, with reference to THE LIST a box is moved to each room and minions start unpacking. For the ~50 boxes we brought here, that took a day to sort it all out.

And the most important box is box 1: last to be loaded, first to come off.
Contents: one mug, one glass, one plate, one knife, one fork, one teaspoon, one toothbrush per person. Coffee, tea, kettle. Bottle of wine. Cork screw. List of local takeaways that do delivery. Soap and toothpaste. Teatowels and towels for packing. £50 in cash.
Get it to the kitchen asap and get the kettle on.
Nowadays, I'd suggest adding the WiFi router and a mains extension lead ...

Did you really assume that the provider has activated the connection on the date of move?
I would suggest adding the chargers for the mobiles instead

For my ISP, they switched my service the morning of my last move just about a month ago but the damn jackarses charged me $20 for a self-installation kit which is me unscrewing the modem from the cable connection and then screwing it back in at the new house

THAT must be in the car with you. When we arrived here, the ferry was 10 hours late, it was 6 in the morning and Mrs Wife was due at work. We were met by some colleagues and shown the way to the flat where a full fridge plus tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits awaited us.
I had a nap, she went to work and the young'uns hit the web.
