More Bah and more Humbug

annwfynToday has proven itself a failure. I went to Aldershot today with pierot. I saw a gorgeous big brass bed there a month and a half ago, and I had finally decided. I would buy it. I had my chequebook. I'd moved money into my current account. I was poised to spend.
I got there. I dropped jez off with his team. I went to the bed shop.
Some bastard bought the bed I wanted two days previous. And they didn't have any others and wouldn't be ordering any more in as they were changing their stock. Dream beds, in Guildford, may have the same bed, but the man behind the counter wasn't sure.
I sulked. And I pouted. And I cheered myself up by buying Fading Suns and 7th Sea books in the games shop next door where I found a new and shiney game which appears to have been partially written bytime_for_tea which is very exciting. There were also thanks for fetket in the front cover. This was exciting.
But...but...but...bah! Bed! No bed! Damn them!
There should be laws about shops selling objects which are CLEARLY mine!

Date: 2005-08-12 05:46 pm (UTC)Apparently the postal service is under super harsh checking these days.
Ah I remember the days where sending something from the UK to Belgium or the other way around took 3 to 5 days O_o
The good old pre-bombing days that were!
