THIS!  A million times this.  If it's over 2kg, remove something heavy and call it a day.   ;D

Maybe we should add that to the rules... no apologies (unless you're jonyboy!), and you must keep the weight under 2kg.  :P
9/1/2013 - "fiancée" (marriage) visa issued
4/6/2013 - married (certificate issued same-day)
5/6/2013 - FLR(M)#1 in person -- approved!
8/1/2016 - FLR(M)#2 by post -- approved!
8/5/2018 - ILR in person -- approved!
22/11/2018 - Citizenship (online, with NDRS+JCAP) -- approved!
14/12/2018 - I became a British citizen.  :)

I'd vote for that.  :)

Just an update that Tami has confirmed a parcel sighting!  She has to collect it though as they didn't leave it.  But GAME ON!

Yay!  Thanks, again, for starting this going again!  I've missed the parcel updates the last couple of months! (!!!)

I'd say it's a pretty good robot, just needed better instructions!

You do have a point.  I've seen lots of videos of bipedal robots where they have harness and are connected to a support above to stop them from falling over and damaging themselves.  I also would have thought that the operators would have hit the kill switch when he first started screwing up rather than let him knock over everything and then go ass over teakettle himself.  Maybe they were laughing too hard.

Picked up the parcel. Haven't opened it yet as I'm not home yet. I'll pick something tonight and post it tomorrow if I get an address for the next person.  Who is next again?

Girl, you need to pick a LOT of somethings...  I shoved a lot into that box.  LOL!

Looking forward to seeing your picks.  Fingers crossed there is something you like.  And hopefully some things that make you laugh.  I got a bit random in the end!

How did your infusions go?
