In terms of Consumer Law/Protection you will be pretty much bound to the words of the Guarantee, which means like for like replacement. But you may get lucky if the manager is feeling generous from a customer service point of view.

Bet he never need to bother with sex coupons. Legend

Not sure she would get much out of exchanging the coupons for a pearl necklace.

Now that'a humiliation
True true. That was a battering. But losing 3 matches by an innings...oh dear. -
After the panic last week, everything went well this weekend. One very happy girlfriend.

Yeah big fan of Muji, shopped there a bit in the UK. She is a super organised efficient type so would love it. Unfortunately Muji haven't made it to Oz yet.
But I have finished my shopping now. Got her a nice Patagonia travel bag, necklace (not pearl) with matching earrings. Plus flowers, dinner and drinks on her big day tomorrow. -
Fantastic stuff. Congratulations!....you almost make it sound easy Rob!

Sounds like someone has got sand in their vagina.

I always find it funny how the Foo Fighters cover of Baker Street has been voted best Foos track ever a few times by their fan club. Its a good cover, but bit sad that their entire back catalogue is over shadowed by a cover. -

I think I will just take all the gifts back and go with Seemore's suggestion. Brilliant!

Obviously not many cricket fans here....
But I would just like to say how much I enjoyed this series. Particularly how all the Aussies in my office are now very very quiet.

The inner lining will feel loose after time (in my case about 30 days) naturally being on the snow.
I´d start thinking about putting inserts in between the inner lining and outer shell anyway. It packs out because of the friction/movement from your feet....
From experience; I had my first 2 pairs of boots heat molded...both good quality boots (one was Burton Hail if I remember correctly, the other Salomon I think). I was disappointed that after around 20(ish) days the heel support became less and less. Since then I dont heat mold and have found the support stays longer (30+ days).
I do, however, agree with your above comments Jynxx. Obviously this is all very subjective and unless you get you identical boots, heat mold one, and wear them both for the same about of time and compare the results you may never put this one to bed. -

Yeah I think that is the way to go. Possibly not Tiffanys, as I think the place is bogan/chav shit. Dinner is booked, have some other smaller gifts and going to get some jewelry I spotted a few weeks ago this afternoon.

haha thanks for your support JA. The issue was, whilst I had plenty of ideas...all I am sure she would love, I am a bit of a perfectionist and was holding out to find the 'perfect gift'. Typically I have over thought the situation, and as pointed out by the above keeping it sincere & simple is the way to go. -
Nice Ctrl-Z. Will look into that one.

I have been having an on going discussion (argument) with mates regarding the heat molding of snowboard boots. Personally I believe it is not a good idea, as it can shorten the life of the boots by causing them to pack out quicker.
Anyone have an opinion on this one??

I hope Spurs get him. They are both big piles of shit and deserve each other.
