Did'nt think they delivered outside the UK, as that is one of the shops your mate sends to us too

They probably don't ship to Switserland… That's his main problem with e-stores afaik...

They don't have the Cloudwater stuff I had shipped to you, though...

[UnTucked]

I just stumbled on that site last week…. I had been meaning to ask if anyone has used them.

Question = answered

[Seul]

I remember a couple of years ago they didn't ship abroad… If I recall that correctly...

Anyway @Alex - they DO ship to Switserland so if you want that guy to stop pestering you…

It's very distressing when I see a mother telling her crying infant to shut up at the grocery store. Not cool

^ If the child was actually an infant I would have said something to her.

[Giles]

In Gosport, she'd have a cigarette in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, whilst rocking the pushchair with one of her (probably 6-toed) feet and give the poor kid grief for interrupting her.  I saw that here, true story….

It was an infant. She had him in one of those portable baby carriers inside the cart. I also saw a woman swearing at and scolding her child one time at Target….very loudly. Felt bad for the kid who couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 years old.

Even the six toed part?  You should have asked her if she could spare one 

[Giles]

Even if I had talked very slowly, I am not sure she would have understood the question…

I'm living in Australia on a visa that grants me permanent residence for as long as I want.

However, I need to get a Resident's Return Visa (RRV) to enter the country should I leave. My old one expired shortly after the Kanreki last year, and I was planning on applying for citizenship around about now instead.

My plans got scuppered, because I need to be in the US for a funeral at the end of next week.

I phoned up immigration today to see what the processing time for an RRV would be, and was told that I could wait up to 47 days, nearly seven weeks. Oh, and I can't get back into Australia without one.

Given I've been in Australia long enough over the last few years to qualify for a five year visa, haven't committed any heinous crimes, and haven't changed my name or address, it should be possible to do it automatically.

So, I might be stuck overseas for six or seven weeks. Oh, look, Fish and Chips is on in eight weeks…

Every cloud… [emoji1]

Seriously though immigration rules and application processing are a nightmare. You’d have thought we, as a civilisation, would have come further.

[Matty123]

Just curious @neph93 …. have you ever laid down a rant on this thread? My intuition says “no way. Homeboy keeps it positive.”

[neph93]

Haha… once as far as I can remember, and it was short and sweary. I had a bad case of gout.

[Matty123]

Yeah that’ll cause a rant.
