Yup only two arms. But there are 7 days in the week.

So you're going to need fourteen watches.

I had chicken curry for my dinner, which was delicious, but now my nose is like a tap.

Had rehearsals tonight and some of the cast were so incredibly bitchy. I came away from the whole thing feeling like ****. Had a good cry too. This show better be worth it.

AA Roadwatch staff on radio, never heard a faster speaking, more incoherent bunch anywhere.

Had a dream last night that I was cycling uphill through a stream with a strong current and now that i am awake, I'm exhausted. Even sleeping makes me tired :mad:

It's amazing how things in your dreams can translate into your 'real' life isn't it? Had a dream a while ago that I met some durty oul wan outside a nightclub, she brought me down an alleyway for the ride....woke up the next morn and I had a very itchy mickey.....

:pac:

I need to reign in the online shopping. En route at the moment I have three watches, a kitchen tap, a soldering iron and solder, some cushions and a rake of plumbing stuff (pipes and the like).
The neighbours are getting sick of 'holding' packages for me.

Giggity :pac:

****. Going to have to sell some to get down to 14!

A man after my own heart! 16 watches and counting...

I work with a guy who will never name his files properly. He always sends files with names like 'book5.xlsx' or 'copy of (something)'. It trivially annoys me having to come up with decent names for his files all the time.

I'm out of tea bags! The horror :eek:

12 hours later and nobody has offered to tea-bag you Medusa! Standards are falling (or rising) around here.

I would chase that up. Ask on whose authority was it destroyed? The name of the customs officer who made the call on it, and phone customs in Shannon and speak to him/her. I am fairly sure proof of destruction is recorded. Ask your shipper if they have exportedb absinthe to Ireland in the past and what, if any, problems they had.

I think he/she might just narrowly have fallen foul of UPS's rules. From their website:

The shipper should really have been aware of this though, I'd certainly be looking for a refund.

Per Maudgonners post, the problem may be due to the high alcohol content. Approx 70% may make it a "hazardous substance for air transport" which would require a declaration to say it can fly, but to state that is hazardous in excepted quantities. If this is the case, UPS should never have let it leave Spain (it would contravene IATA regulations. They would be in very serious sh1t if they did)

I am sure it's not the first time the company you bought from shipped a bottle of absinthe, so that would have also been aware of the problem (if that is the problem) so the least they can do is give you a refund or ship a replacement with the correct paperwork.

Though I am still guessing someone stole it or broke it and that hoping you can be fobbed off.

Good god that Alliance ad on the telly. Its almost on par with the go compare prick. You all know the one right? With the dude's misses stating they should switch to Alliance and he says what's the difference? Then it takes him about 16 hours to work it out. The problem I have with it being so annoying is that Alliance immediately assume if you are not a customer you too stupid. There is a few of those ads on the telly that insult their potential customers but that one just tips the scale in fairness. Now I'm advertising the shit. When that ad comes on no matter what I'm doing I make a break for the remote!
