Now you're getting on my nerves. You have no idea what you're talking about and offering up your boolshnit advice after the fact is about as useless as a chocolate teapot. We listened to you bitch and moan and cry like a baby at 4 months in. You are in no position to determine why those like myself have got the short end of the stick.
Go fook yourself and have a happy life.

Well sending pictures to them of me in the shower with the missus would be a bit tough, as you noted I have never been there. But I certainly wouldn't mind making a few pictures for them, if that would speed things along :)

I totally agree, everyone here has a different situation,,,,,,CEM has fooked up with me, 1st 2 months to get a letter from them and then them waiting 10 months to say they didnt receive docs (maybe jeep guy was delivering that letter riding a turtle)

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND LUCKYMANS OBSESSION, BUT I THINK IT WAS CEM WHO ASKED TO HAVE ALL PACKAGES OPENED THAT THEY SENT OUT AT ONE PARTICULAR DAY,,,,,AFTER THEY FOUND OUT 1 WAS RECEIVED AND TO HAVE THE WRONG DOCUMENTS IN IT,,,,, THE PACKAGES ARE STIL CEMS PROPERTY WHILE IN SHIPMENT, THEY NEEDED TO KNOW HOW MANY PACKAGES WERE FOOKED UP AND WHICH ONES NEEDED TO BE RETURNED
