Australia Post = Australia’s Ghost?

by Anthony on 30 March, 2009

I heard the most wonderful stream of profanity at the office today. Funny story, really. The long suffering Sinclair women (Brendon’s wife and daughter) have fled the country.

Christmas and Ugg Boots

November 21, 2007

I’ve probably posted before how Brendon and Mel operate Brandboots.com – a site selling Ugg Boots. Brendon writes on Tailored about how Ugg Australia was driving his Online Ugg Boot Store out of business by providing a higher quality of boot at lower prices, with better customer support to match.
