 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 9:28 am Post subject: Bimota care package to Oz |
 |
|
Well it sounds like it's all coming together now! With a lot of help from some very kind forum members there will soon be some Bimota goodies heading for the land downunder. Looking forward to receiving the package and then sending some of the contents on to my Ausie mates.
Good thing it's leaving shortly or we may have had to hire a Hercules to get it here. The longer it stays in UK the bigger it is becoming  .
Many thanks to - oily, 2bims, vort, evilchicken, morepower and stockcar for your help.
Cheers,
Brian

Glad to see you used all that Dymag packaging for something useful Oily. Thought you would be running the potbelly off it this winter though.
Enjoy Brian |

Oily you are a angel..... big smelly one but an angel..... care packages to our antipodean cousins just need them to sent some Tim Tams back as a thank you.....
Not HINTING Brian..... No not at all........ Just think recycling a Tim Tam box for the next care package would save Oily buying more Dymags...
Although trying to do a Tim Tam slam with a kitkat chunky is not the same thing.... |

Just in case anyone else is wondering.............
Tim Tam is a brand of chocolate biscuit currently manufactured by Arnott's in Australia. A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.
...You've got a very un healthy fixation with sugar morep

Yes - Tim Tams are like Penguins. If you bite the corresponding corners off you can suck tea into them and as they dissolve you get the tim tam tea mixture ....

Unhealthy?? Possibly... But Tim Tams are a close second to Jaffa cakes when you have an afternoon brew..
Do you think they got the hint?? Did I say Tim Tams enough to give them a hint???
Plus I have to get my sugar rush some how now Louise stopped me from having sugar in my tea..... Bastid.....
On a more serious note... I may have something to send out in your next care package for a guy out there if you are sending a few bits... I didnt think about it until today.... But the guy has waited a while and it is no rush... he hasn't been in touch... But the parts are taking up space so is would do him a favour and subsidise the cost of your care package. |

The big day has arrived.........
After months of careful planning and days of careful packing, here it is...........
...And then the nice Fedex man called Lofty arrived and took it away....
....In his little van whilst shouting....it should arrive in about 3 or 4 days unless it's going to Australia, cheerio

A Fedex man photo, made me chuckle that one, I'd do the same with the ParcelForce Man, but he's too scared that I'm going to report him for incompetence and laziness for never putting a card through my door, and just leaving a parcel at some random neighbours house 10 houses away and I'm suppose to guess where it is??  |

You think thats bad.
When I ordered my little milling machine, the company concerned ( no names as it was all ok in the end ) didnt tell me they were going to deliver on any date. Just randomly emailed and didnt wait for a responce.
I arrived back off 2 weeks holiday to find a large wooden palleted crate sat on my drive. Just lucky it was too heavy to nick, and I live in a reasonably quiet spot. I understand it had been sat there for 9 days or so.
