You must have drunk some of the tap water.

 

[good4whatAlesU]

Whatever it was (is) I do not recommended it.
On the upside, I have now an excuse not to attend numerous mother group tea parties.
On the downside. I cannot pick up my beautiful daughter for fear of infecting her.

**** auspost and their slowness, items ordered online from a NZ company picked up by DHL and sent to Brisbane, cleared customs and in DHL sorting facility then passed on to auspost for final 65kms delivery, all within 13hrs.......auspost 3 days to deliver WTF!!!

Would be asking DHL for a refund .

 

[Rocker1986]

Why? It's not DHL's fault that Aus post are slow as a wet week. It is annoying though, if I order stuff inside Australia it normally gets to me in a few days which is fine but overseas mail takes ****** ages. Gets into Sydney in like two days then another week or more to go from Sydney to Brisbane. Ridiculous.

 

[wynnum1]

Where are you fastway can deliver on the same day so why is DHL using snail mail must be getting very cheap.

 

[Rocker1986]

In Brisbane. I dunno, any DHL packages I've had have been delivered by DHL, or if they are given to Aus Post they usually get to me the day after Auspost picks them up.

 

[SeeFar]

Yep, had an item take 36 hours from ordering to get from the UK to Syd. Then it took 5 days to get to Canberra.

Auspost needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt by people who aren't touched in the head.

 

[Feldon]

Its more AustPost in NSW. The Sydney operation has long been a basket case. Rest of Oz in pretty good.

 

[SeeFar]

I hope you're counting the ACT as part of NSW then.....

 

[Feldon]

You're surrounded. Surrender.

 

[knot_gillty]

Being stuck at bloody work for a 12 hour day on your last day before having 2 months off and sitting here waiting for a job all day!! Don’t mind having a relax every now and then but **** me, this is just ****!! Send us home already, there’s no bloody leaks! (Work at a power station, just had a major outage and we’re commissioning it to run again so you lot can brew beer.... you’re welcome!! Haha.)

 

[good4whatAlesU]

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

3 days at the in-laws and 7 to go.

Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now. Serenity now......

 

[Grott]

Only one way to handle that.....drink drink drink

 

[good4whatAlesU]

Given the in laws very low opinion and negative comments about our parenting skills, I can't see how how drinking will hurt......

 

[manticle]

Why on earth did you sign up for ten days?

Next year have a break if it won't get you murdered, then limit to two full days, one night, the following year. Or two nights but leave first thing on the third day.

 

[mondestrunken]

Getting totally schnitzel in these situations is a bit of a double edged sword. It sounds like a good idea... until people start saying what they actually think of each other.

 

[Blind Dog]

See this is where I get grumpy. By the time my good beers have gotten to this stage, too many QA tastings mean there's about 2 or 3 left, if even that many. Currently have 1 of each of my Biere de Garde and Baltic Porter left, right when I stopped testing them about 3 months ago is when they really hit thewir straps.

Brew double batches for the good stuff. Saves so much heartache down the track

Yeah, got to make that a plan. And resisting the urge to keep on QA'ing.

 

[SeeFar]

I deliberately left all my brews at home whilst I go away to the coast. At least that will give them one more week to condition than they otherwise would have had
