Impatience

[CommanderJameson]

Does anyone else start acting like a child at Christmas once the new arrival is impending?

FFS! Make it arrive now!

Tell me about it, I bought one in June from the States, I got the guy to send it to the companies office in Houston as I knew someone who was going to be coming to the UK who could hand-carry it in. They missed each other by hours and so I arranged for someone else to bring it over this week. He's just had a heart attack and won't be across 'till Novemebr. Another person is coming across in September, but because of my work rotations I probably won't see it until October now
(Had hassle with HMRC last time & wanted to avoid them like the plague...)

I'm in Dallas 7th - 14th Spet if you want someone to courier it back ?

That's a very kind offer - the person I've got picking it up is there about that time anyway, it's just as soon as she gets back to UK I fly out for a month so won't actually get it till October, but many thanks all the same

I live in Norway, and work at the airport.

I insist on the post as they never collect tax, and always ask for a tracking number.

If it comes from the east, I'll see the Korean Air Cargo plane land and then have to wait 5 days for it to get to my door.

If it comes from the UK, it'll come in on BA762 in the morning. I've twice been in the aircraft knowing my watch is in there waiting to go and sit in a warehouse for 2-3 days.

Grrrr
