Aramex can’t find it but it’s ‘somewhere’ apparently
WTF does that mean?


Had some spare time today so drove out to their depot at Gillman. There was a line up & everyone had their own “special” story about this wonderful company. The blokes behind the counter were doing a great job, told us they’re 3 days behind in sorting. They would grab your tracking no & go out to the warehouse & look for your item. They seem to be finding most & found mine as well. So I’ve had a win as the free of charge replacement is coming today via Australia Post. ($300 worth of spices, rubs & marinades)


I still don't have my parcel.
I've rung them, emailed them, called them every name under the sun but still don't have it.
Incompetent, useless pricks!

Bonus is that not only is it a good treatment for acute gout, but also the severe osteoarthritis I have in both knees, so have now got a stockpile to last a while.

Hooray, I can get some sleep tonight.

Thats what I use as soon as I feel an attack coming on, usually does the job for me, I do have some wild dreams if I take them just before bed though.

Touch wood I haven't had a severe attack for nearly 12 months, Im on alpurnol but to be honest I only take them every 2 or 3 days as I forget, the biggest difference I have had is to drink more water and stay hydrated. Before I used to just drink when thirsty, now I top up regularly and carry a YETI around with me everywhere.

They’ve worked really well.

I reacted to Colgout many, many years ago, but have had no side effects here.

I was heading to my daughters wedding a few weeks ago when I turned off of Bald Hills Road @ Mount Barker on to Springs Road, BH Rd was an 80 zone and Springs Road looked no different.

I looked down at my on screen map to see that I was heading in the right direction and then looked up to notice a 60 sign (which had a notice of a speed change below it) so I went to slow down only to have a police car coming from the opposite direction flash me to pull over.

Done the testing etc. and we were having a decent chat and he said given the circumstances and the steep immediate descent he would issue me with a caution on this occasion.

Sure enough, a few days later and there arrives a fine, I rang the fines department and they basically said bad luck.

1: I can't fathom why that stretch of road was changed to a 60 zone.
2: He could've just said he was gonna fine me.

At least you had a break, I only had the public holidays and the 27th off and I was bed ridden that day along with the Saturday and Sunday. I had to front up for work on the Monday crook AF.

Yep, I'm spent after a huge last couple of months.

I'm heading to Bali in June so I was gonna try hold out til then but then I noticed ANZAC Day is on the Friday after Easter, I could potentially have 10 days away from work and it will only cost me 3 annual leave days.......................Now I'm thinking I can't even hold out that long.
