      They seem to be. No problems with Amazon, but smaller companies just don't fill in the customs form correctly. This was from espares.ie, and while I knew they are based in the UK, the have an Irish vat number and seem legit.
      Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

        So he's basically eating a bread bread roll. Got chicken too but still.
        Well, is it not the same if you get a spicy chicken fillet role, the meat is in a breaded coating?

          Yeah I suppose amazon's scale and tech makes it pretty straightforward for them from day 1. Average Joe UK citizen never had to look at a customs form in his life.

          It's such a balls of a racket, I used to get so many different things off eBay and small retailers in the past. I grudgingly would pay a little extra in fees which is fair enough but the shipping delays and return to sender roulette are not worth the effort.

              My sister in law sent presents for my kids by post (I had previously told her not to) and I got a notification on Dec 21st that there was duty owed (stupid amount for the contents) and I paid it, making sure to tell her not to bother doing this again, and it only got delivered to me last Friday.

                  HUMPH was another one. I actually know the word rebus is those dingbat puzzles you get in table quizzes, didn't realise grunts were included though

                      That section on Prime Time last night about Eden Heaslip, a teen who committed suicide was a very hard hitting piece. Teenagers can be so horrible to others. People in general, but teenagers especially. I'm so glad I was in school well before social media was around.

                        Yes, it's so sad - and it is very scary to those of us with children I think, wondering if this will happen to ours when they are that age My son has red hair and I remember the slagging those who did got back in the day!

                          Not that it'd make much of a difference, but things like this should be shown to school kids throughout secondary school. Bullying has always been a thing to a certain extent, but social media usage means that instead of just being a school thing, it's a constant threat now.

                            Really awful.Echo your comments re social media. I went to an all boys school that was rough enough and was neither Bullying people or on the receiving end but i seen plenty. The fact the kids take it home now too is awful.

                                Actually on that note, the creches these days are really excellent on delivering an 'everyone is different, everyone is awesome' positive message. So many when these kids grow up it won't be as big a problem. But sure some kids will be more sensitive to 'banter' than others so I think there will always be some level of bullying and the issues that flow from that.

                                My wife has red hair and like most when I grow a beard, there's a good bit of red in there (mainly grey these days obv), so no doubt any offspring were a high likelihood of being ginger! The youngest one is brown haired though, so 50/50 in the end.

                                        Either way, women I'm related to rarely listen to me it seems.

                                              can't be long before we get to the classic:

                                              'I say I say I say, my wife went to the West Indies'
                                              'Really, Jamaica?'

                                              "No she went of her own free will." BOOM BOOM


                                              Similar to:
                                              'I say I say I say, I saw a woman being executed in China.'
                                              'Really, Shanghai?'
                                              SPOILER
                                              'No, only about six feet off the ground.' BOOM BOOM BOOM

                                                  Usually get 2 Christmas cards delivered in error by seasonal relatives who dont really knew where the fcuk Christine and John live. No return address oh no. Your not getting the level of professionalism here like CourierCollie and Russian pen friend.
                                                  Clearly a Christmas card. So im looking at this envelope over Christmas with a jaundiced eye. At one stage it goes in the bin at the tail end of the holiday. Then the conscience gets the better of me and its out of the bin a few days later with an approaching new years reprieve.

                                                  It doesn't get plucked out of the bin with a reprieve without being opened. Opened it was and it was a hand drawn card by 5 signed children. Straight into the fire it went.

                                                  No. I put on the oil skins got on my bike tucked the envelope in and cycled to the 3 other address door numbers that was the same as mine.
                                                  The first one was like a fortress and I deduced that before I rant the bell the door would open. Sure enough this bug eyed guy comes out but I quickly disarm him with my story but there was still a residual percentage of buy eyedness there. So it was agreed it was probably in the nearby 'Close' rather than 'Drive'.

                                                  I get to the same numbered address in the Close and this dog inside went berserk. Luckily the woman that answered was much less frosty. It wasnt for her though, but she said Christine lives just over the road. But is she at this number address?. Of course not. I feel when your trying to explain something to someone the dont bleedin listen but patience is a virtue here oh yes.

                                                  I go to the last address and its got one of these camers presses. Absolutely has to be here now and just like me has to be the last one I go to. Lovely house altogether, anyway a nice old lady answered and she said im very good altogether which is exactly the tye of thing im looking for but the address is divided( rebuilt on spare land So A/B) Christine and John is just next door.
                                                  That just took the icing slightly off the feel good factor. Anyway at least im pleased ive found the address and want the plaudits once more but when I go next door the garden is unkempt the curtain nets are tired and theres a beat up taxi in the drive. So no door bell ring just straight in the letterbox.
                                                  So anticlimax as usual

                                                        I'm the unholy one here and I pronounce Xmas as Christmas.

                                                              Ah too kind altogether. I'm a funny one like that, you'd think if you'd write you'd read?. I read about 1 book a year!. This year Pat Nevin and it was a good read. Just cant read fiction or sci-fi unfortunately.
                                                              The catcher in the rye style meets Frank Mc Court is the kind of style I seem to be swayed automatically.
