There is a T-shirt I really want to buy but unforutunately they only mail to USA and Canada because they don't realise there is a world outside of there or something.

I was wondering if anyone would be happy for me to order a t-shirt to their address and then forward it onto me. I would of couse cover all the postage costs.

Kind of makes you wish you had been nicer to me and all things American in the past, huh? Suddenly America and its citizens aren't so bad, huh?

I'll think about it.
 
Posted by Cherry In Hove (Member # 49) on :
 
Well, I'd rather have a Canadian ralph, but an American will do at a pinch.
 
Posted by ralph (Member # 773) on :
 
You really don't want that shirt, do you?
 
Posted by Black Mask (Member # 185) on :
 
This better be some fucking shirt.

I'm torn ralph. I'm torn between my desire to own the shirt and my desire to try to upset you.
 
Posted by ralph (Member # 773) on :
 
I know you are. COuld you post a picture of the shirt please? It would help me greatly in my decision making process.

Awww... How emo!

Will you wear it in a picture on your Myspazz page?

(if you get stuck, I can probably sort you out Cherry... Though, only if you self-harm to The Cure and video it for Youtube! [Wink] )
 
Posted by Cherry In Hove (Member # 49) on :
 
I don't have a myspace page [Frown] And I don't own any Cure albums [Frown] And apart from in one Geography lesson I don't self harm [Frown]

Sorry to disappoint you Sabian. I don't think it's emo, I think it's joyous.

It's quite possibly the gayest t-shirt ever made.

Can an American please send me a Porter Cable 7424? I don't have any money but if you could send me one I'd be very grateful.
 
Posted by Cherry In Hove (Member # 49) on :
 
Thanks very much Froopy. I have e-mailed you. Ignore ralph. He's still bitter because I personally had to bail him out in WWII.

I think that post is brilliant. Actually made me properly chuckle and brought attention to the fact that I clearly wasn't actually working. Thanks Ringo.

Fast forward two weeks to Ringo opening a package with a brand new 120 volt random orbital polisher. We'll see how grateful he is then.

Ha. All you people who thought this was a foolish idea and that it would never work and that the money would just go to ralph so he could put enough fuel in his SUV to get him 2 miles to run over a badger were wrong!

Although ralph did E-mail me a lot begging to be allowed to get involved in my T-shirt transportation business, we decided that the pitch put forward by Froopyscot & Rooster incorporated was the most favourable.

And LO! Today the business reached a conclusion that could only be dreamed of as the T-shirt that was ordered was delivered to the United Kingdom.

I know that none of you will believe this fact so here is a picture of me looking quite tired and drunk wearing it!

 -

Although, according to my official press photographer and girlfriend I looked too grumpy in this picture and so she had to take over modeling duty which is fair enough as she is much prettier than me.

 -

So. Thanks over and over again to Family Froopyscot and Rooster for your incredibly generosity in fulfilling this order for me. It is hugely appreciated.

Glad to be of service! Truth be told I'm glad it worked out well. I received the parcel from the shop and just turned around and re-posted it to the UK without so much as opening it, so whenever anyone wants to use me as a blind relay point for mail order heroin, I'm your guy, I guess. But it turned out to just be a t-shirt, so where's the excitement there, I ask you. [Big Grin]

I'm wearing a suit! Dress-up Friday for me.

Actually, I'm not wearing a suit at all. But I was earlier. And I looked quite dashing. I almost tried to chat myself up. Not that I'm gay. I'm not my type, anyway, really.

And I had a headache. Or was washing my hair.
