Harry's FX Crown ; and some silent words about AusPost.

Post by Yrrah »

It left Sweden in July, arrived Melbourne Customs early Sept. Cleared Customs early last week and was sent up to my dealer last Wed in good shape. Arrived 8 days later today to my dealer in Uralla by AusPost with its barrel bent 20 degrees in front of the action.
My second Permit 2 × $30 runs out on 28th Oct.
Well done OZ Post. Your boss really earns his $ 6,000,000 :auto: :auto: :auto: :auto: :bang: ##*^##.

Someone more expressive than I please say a few words to describe our postal service.
I have some pics but can't now figure how posting now works here. . .... Harry Yrrah. Speechless.

Bloody hell Harry thats a real bastard thing, though hardly surprising as I have heard how rough some of the treat parcels in the sorting shed. Did you have it insured ?

Glad to see you still think of us occasionally. :D

That really sucks Harry. All the applicable flashed across my mind and a few new ones.
For photos I use Imgur to save them there then link them to post / websites.

Taken from a sleep apnea forum

Step 1 - Upload your Image to a Graphics Server (Imgur) Note: You can use Imgur without an account.
A. In your Web browser, goto: http://imgur.com
B. Near the upper left of the page will be a green button labeled, “New post”. Select it. A popup screen will
display allowing you the options pasting a location of your image on your PC or use the Explorer function
to locate it.
C. Press the Browse button and a File Explorer will be displayed.
D. Navigate to your SleepyHeadData → Screenshots folder and select your image.
E. Either double-click the image or Press the Open button
Your image will be uploaded and displayed in your webpage.

Step 2 - Copy Image Location
Place the mouse pointer on the image and right-click. Select: Copy Image Location in the Option list.
Note: On the right side of the screen, midway down, you will see a box with a button to its right,
labeled “Copy”. This will NOT provide the proper link address.
Link address differences (same image):
Using Copy Image Location: http://i.imgur.com/jGmcFKq.jpg - This will produce an image
Using the Copy button: http://imgur.com/a/ZCk8I - This will not display an image
Note: Imgur account holders will be provided additional options.

Step 3 - Inserting your image in a post
Using the Full Editor (WYSIWYG):
Select the Insert an Image icon from the editor menubar. Paste in the link you just copied.

Maybe tips on campfire etiquette.

Just don't understand how they could do this.

My Royal came in a hard plastic case but you would think the box and foam should be plenty

Hey Harry,

Did you take up a SSAA membership with an Insurance option? If you had already paid for the rifle, then it was already yours. If all else fail with other avenues, claim o n the SSAA insurance if you took it up.
