I got an email the other day from a chap in Sweden. He said he wanted to buy the Back Catalogue Gift Pack (still available in the Online Emporium at a Frugality TASTIC &//163;25.75, bargain fans!), but didn't want to use the PayPal system. He therefore emailed me to see if there was any other way of going about it?

So far, so pleasant and normal. HOWEVER he then went on to say "Or I could get a cheap flight to London and come and pick it up". STILL all would have been well, except he went ON FURTHER to say "I might even bring my friend with me, and we will drink you under the table."

WELL! There's no way I'm having THAT! I therefore emailed him back and said that, actually, if he could persuade his friend to ALSO buy a back catalogue then I would get a flight MYSELF and personally deliver it AND then drink THEM under any nicely designed table they saw fit to sit near AND even do a GIG nearby, if he so wished. AHA! National Pride PLUS an abiding love of DAFT IDEAS equals ROCK!

Goodness bless him, this morning I got an email saying he's found 3 or 4 people to buy the back catalogue! WAHEY! Looks like I'm going to be going to Sweden then! And then i thought, this is SUCH a GRATE idea - if anybody ELSE out there fancies a HOME DELIVERY of the back catalogue, and lives somewhere a) EXCITING/GROOVY/unvisited by ME and b) can get enough people to buy a back catalogue to cover the cost of FLIGHTS, then let me know, and I'll see if i can sort something out!

Especially if you live near Dublin, by the way, that'd be BRILLIANT.
