Losing a huge member ( insert penis joke where applicable ) of the trainer community.
The poor chap was a noike head but I won't hold that against him cos he was a properly stand up bloke despite that.
RIP Cheeky.
You were a real life trainer geek and solid geyser all rolled into one.

Bloody hell - these past few pages is for the dumps - brothas falling apart (me too, G n Nik) and decent blokes going silently into the night. I've taken a more care free attitude since my heart shiite cropped up a few years back - now I act how I act, live how I live - the rest be damned. I'm a good guy who's down for other like-minded folks, and a real breaker to @ssholes....simple rules to go by eh Now to get my fcuked up right shoulder rehabbed - so bad I can barely pull on my shirt, raise it up like I want to answer a Q...yeah its that bad....

Crummy news all around on this page!

I'm just pissed at PayPal. Why oh why does it take so long to transfer money to them? It left my bank account on the 20th. Today is the 25th. You can't tell me there's some clerk in California, or Calcutta or Mambambu who has to physically process the transaction!

Probably the banks making things difficult, but still...

Oh, and before you start looking for Mambambu on the map, it doesn't actually exist. I made it up.

As Normal custom fee's everytime i buy anything via the US

Fucking Parcelforce i hate you!!

Explain the customs thing to me because I lterally have never had an experience with US customs save for one, rather expensive, winter coat that I bought from Italy a few years back.

Will they literally open the box to see what's inside? Because Dylan got whacked once when I left a receipt in one of the boxes I sent him.

The times I got hit it's because the seller put the actual value of the shoes on the postage slip on the outside. Everyone seems to mark them "gift" though which means nothing these days...

Edit: the value stated has to be more than $80 though I think...

RE: Things that make your blood boil - pokey27 - 27-06-12

They can do Tif and sometimes do...I think for the UK the item has to be under $30 for it not to be hit with custom fee's...Normally if it comes via Parcel force i get custom fee's (Parcel force being the carrier for Royalmail in the uk)
UPS or other companies if it comes via them i get away with it..
Basically the only way to beat customs is to mark the item as a gift with like a $20 value but not all sellers will lower the value to such a small amount

RE: Things that make your blood boil - kt0626 - 27-06-12

@Tif, they shouldnt open the box up unless a) it smells suspicious and/or b) they read the value...otherwise its random imho,.....
The magic number Id say for Canada is $50-75 fo rthem to not ding you fees....plus indicate it as a gift or sample....

Fees are guranteed if the store/bloke used FedEx or UPS/a courier....brokerage fees, PLUS likely duties....

Receipt in box? Uh oh....LOL...
