UK folks listen up

If any of you UK folks live anywhere near London, Cambridge, or Birmingham, I am willing to give you any Daria-related items that are currently only available in the US. As some of you know, I'm headed over to the UK in 2 weeks, and it'll be good if I could do a little good for fellow UK Darianites. As for Season 4 tapes, I only have them in NTSC tapes in EP mode, so I don't know if your VCRs can play them.

I'll be in London mostly, but I will also be stopping by Cambridge and Birmingham for a day or two to visit friends. If you stay really far away from these places, I suppose I could try posting them to you. Email me at [email] for further discussion on this.

If you also want any non-Daria-related items that are only available in the US, I could also try to provide them for you.

Don't worry about burdening me or anything, I've done this plenty of times before. I think the last time I went back to Malaysia, I brought back a SCSI card, two Sandman books, and a Xena calendar. I'm a regular shipping hub ;)

Glad to be of service..

Cheers, Nicole Lee

Emmmm, there wouldn't happen to be somewhere convent to you that sells US Government publications would there?

You know, if you're *really* interested in US Government publications for consumption by the general public, you *could* check out a few US Government websites. I know the State Department (http://www.state.gov/) has quite a few documents published online either in HTML format or PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format. And a lot of these documents you would've otherwise had to have paid something from $1 - $5 per document for.

Oh shit, you're not talking about the ones I'm thinking of. Oh shit. (backs away very carefully)

Can you bring me a carton of Ben & Jerry's ice cream please?

<snip stuff about me bringing US-only items to the UK>

This is just to warn you guys that these items will *not* be given FOC. I still expect some kind of payment for the stuff. I just don't have the kind of money to simply give away presents. Of course, I don't expect any kind of interest or profit, just some money to pay for said items.

I just wanted to say this before my e-mail gets bombarded by requests for free gifts :)

Grr. . .darn it, you mean you're not bringing me that fabulously expensive diamond-studded tennis bracelet ("wrist ornament" sounds so much better, dontcha think) just for being me? :) Oh wait, I don't live in the UK.

I had rather assumed that! 8-)

Not even to gain popularity? (TDR: Kevin's social science experiment)

I'd say you merited a *little* bit extra as a thank you! Enough for a drink or something. 8-)

So far, I've thought of nothing that (a) isn't already available in the UK (albeit more expensively) AND (b) I want AND (c) I can afford! I've already got _Daria Disenfranchised_, but I'll check out the other Daria merchandise tomorrow.

Oh, wait a minute, did somebody once mention (here or in chat) a talking _Powerpuff Girls_ keyring? Now *that* would be good... <g>

Enjoy your trip, Nicole!

I wouldn't assume otherwise, of course I would pay for anything, you are being kind enough to bring for us.

Hehehehe Well I wonder what a copy of "Sick Sad Life Planner" would cost when converted Dollars->Pounds.....though I am reluctant to ask this as it could be viewed as illeagl smuggling....(due to encryption stuff....yeah I know some people think that that's been changed, but I dunno that I'd like to risk testing it).

Phill.

In that case, scratch the Lear jet. I don't have a pilot's licence anyway, it was just Santa always skipped the requests for planes and suchlike on my Christmas list.

Ooh, I actually dreamed about that post last night! I must have gone to sleep shortly after reading it, 'cos I dreamed that I received a parcel from you, with all the other UK darianites' names written on it. It contained a bomb. I think I'm getting paranoid :) Especially as I dreamt about having my house set on fire by Radio 1 Breakfast Show DJ Sara Cox the night before :P

Greg

that's bizarre. ;)

LOL. i was sleep-talking this morning. i can't remember what about, but my mum came in to try to wake me up, and i was under the strong impression that she was saying different things to what she actually was, and was replying accordingly..

Hey as long as the parcel contains some Plutonium this UK Darianite will be happy :)

Yeah you are getting paranoid, buth then again just coz you are it doesn't mean that that bastards *ARN'T* out to get you :)

On the original offer I may take Nicola up on it...as I live in Coventry just south of Birmingham.

Phill.

<raises hand> 25 miles as the crow flies, in the house!

That's very thoughtful and much appreciated. Hmm, what do I want?

It's very unlikely that they will. AFAIK multi-format VCRs sold here only play SP NTSC tapes. 8-(

Kindness added to kindness. Thanks. 8-) There was that Columbia (sp?) outdoor pursuits vest I had my eye on. Hmmm....

So the face-recognition camera in Customs will go ping! when you walk by? <g>
