Freakin' ParcelForce…..

-I ordered something from Japan. EMS forwarded the package to ParcelForce for the UK leg of the delivery.
-On the ParcelForce website, I'm able to track the package with the original EMS tracking number. The tracking updates says that they've attempted delivery twice, and today will be the third time, but I have not received a delivery slip or anything stating that they will redeliver since I wasn't home.
-I tried to schedule a delivery time, or pick-up from the depot, but I can't because I didn't get a delivery card with a ParcelForce tracking number.
-I called the helpline, and they can't help me either, because I don't have a ParcelForce tracking number, even though they can see the package in the system by it's EMS tracking number.

How does this make sense?!

Before I moved to Singapore I found an episode of his show that talked about the food culture there.
It ignited an interest in the country I didn't have before and a thirst to learn more about food and culture particularly in East Asia.
This one really hits close to home.

I really enjoyed his shows and hope that he finds peace.

Saw the news about Anthony Bourdain earlier.

My other half used to have the Food Network on TV all the time, and I saw quite a few episodes of his shows. I really liked his style.

he's got such amazing personality on all his episodes. i remember seeing a couple of the ones where he was in vietnam alone and with obama and eating at jiro-san's sushi place. what a legend. RIP

I am so very sad about Bourdain, sort of guy you’d like to share a pint or two with! Wicked, warped sense of humour and so interesting to watch. He will be missed [emoji485]

I became aware of Anthony Bourdain whilst enjoying his TV shows, No Reservations and The Layover.

He will be sadly missed . . . . . . .

This hurts. I am so sad about this loss. I never would have suspected the pain he was going through. Always be kind to people.  You never know what the fuck they are going through. I hate this.

Huge fan of his. His writing especially, ever since No Reservations. Things like this remind me of two things: life is short, and happiness comes from within.

Holy shit…how sad.  Had no idea he had passed until I read it here.

Fucking (eBay) mother fuckers who have nothing better to do than pick apart my eBay ads  .  .  . FUCK OFF

I add a link to my eBay ad directly to the IH website so potential buyers can find out product info direct from the IH source and eBay threaten to remove my ads simply because of the link to Iron Heart. What are they so afraid of ? . . .

In my case, i'm just flat out lazy. I really can't be bothered to measure items, take pics and post.

You can call me the bad boy chef all you want. I'm not going to freak out about it. I'm not that bad. I'm certainly not a boy, and it's been a while since I've been a chef. Anthony Bourdain

Thanks for so much inspiration… RIP Anthony
