Bastards!

Rant over.

I never thought of it like that. I bet bastards really do that, "ships over night for $20," then send it parcel post

Ha you think thats bad.... We have a 6 foot security gate, some couriers can't be bothered to press the buzzer so drop the packages over the top of the gate - even if marked 'fragile'

and I remember when all this was fields, as far as the eye can see
right... we used to get up for work every day Â½ an hour before we went to bed to work 36 hours a day at mill, and pay mill owner tuppence a week for the privil..... ... .. .

When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.

Up to two days for payment to appear depending on bank, a weekend, storms, flooding, power outages in many parts of the country. Anything could have happened. I'd be impressed if anyone ventured out of the house to send their TM goods the way things were at times last week.

I wouldn't panic yet. Try sending a friendly email saying you just want to confirm they've recieved payment. Hope everything is ok and can they confirm whether they've had a chance to send the pedal yet. You just want to know if you should be watching out. As soon as it gets there you'll let them know. Yadda yadda....

I love my FuzzieBro. Totally and utterly idiosynchratic. Paul was such a nice guy when I met him. Even emailed a few weeks after to see what I thought about the pedal and to make sure I knew I could call if I ever had a problem with it. I want to get him along to the next 'Fest.
