Gotta love German efficiency.

So I’m so unbelievably wired from drinking too much tea yesterday that I couldn’t sleep. A flash of inspiration hits and I have an idea for the most AMAZING tune. Unfortunately to do what I wanted to do (connecting this that and the other and re-modulating it through some other thingy) required a few more audio cables than I actually have.. as I only have about 2 that aren’t beyond repair. So I decided I might as well put an order in for some more as I had my credit card handy, and I went for some *very* reasonably priced ones from Thomann.de.

That was at about half one last night. This morning I wake up at 9 to find they’ve TEXTED me saying my order has been dispatched already. Now that’s what I like to hear! I can’t think of anywhere in the UK that does that. In fact I just got an email this morning from a nameless UK site saying an order I made *last week* has only just been *processed*… Maybe I’m just an impatient victim of online retail. It’s just a shame the stuff I want to buy is never in shops. ‘Trapdoor’ complete collection on DVD? Count Duckula t-shirt? I think HMV should get a foothold on the market of retro junk.

Ooooh and I want this poster
