my post arrives after i leave for the office. therefore my arrival at home each day is a rollercoaster of emotions as to whether i have received new stuff to listen to. there are several very nice goodies supposedly on their way.
its almost to exciting at times. place your bets folks. will today be a Good'Un or another b*stard statistic for lost parcels for the Royal (haha) Post Office.

I have no rollercoaster of emotions per se but I often get pleasant surprises.

oh that last moments of driving up my drive are a wonderful highs .. often followed by that usual disappointment as i realise some b*stard in E1 has lifted another parcel en route to ireallylovemusic (i have lost count of lost items now ..)

It amazes me how much of a postcode (sorry, pun unavoidable) lottery the postal service seems to be - I've been ordering loads of stuff over the internet for years now and I think I could count the number of items that have gone missing in the post on my fingers.

weirdly .. stuff i order never goes missing. stuff that is sent for reviewing from a certain area of the country (shall we say London for ease) seems to be fraught with problems.
subsequently on PR has stopped sending stuff. nice result. the stuff i am 'expecting' though is far too fucking good for some mucker to lift and ebay ..

I've got a mate who lives in Brighton who apparently loses loads of stuff that's sent to him.

once your name is spotted i reckon its a dead end. its just too easy/tempting to lift a cd parcel aint it.
what i dont like is that the PR's may begin to suspect foul play on my side.
its not easy getting to the position i have and then finding it all slip away cos of the Royal (ho ho) Post Office. oh .. and as for filing a complaint .. hahahaa. yeah. lets move on from that shall we ..

Do you reckon there's a connection with having a business name (e.g. "I Really Love Music") on the enevelope / package?

That would probably make sense since I imagine there would be far more likelihood of promo items etc. being sent unsolicited (so possibly more valuable and definitely less likely to be missed) to a business - plus nicking from a business / organisation is often seen as less reprehensible than nicking from an individual.

thats an interesting point - one that has indeed crossed my mind .. but i dont blieve that the PR's actually put ireallylovemusic, they are addressed to me personally. so i suspect that someone has connected my address to the website and realised its a route to new sounds so whenever these parcels pass through certain sections of the system .. etc etc

I'm glad no-one seems to have connected my address with, say, regularly spending far too much money buying music on the internet, with potentially similar effects!

What if we made it about losing your virginity in the post?

Scary thing is if it could be reclaimed.
