Can anyone decipher the words on the label attached to the keys? Can't enlarge the picture on my comp.

Pogues v. The Postal Service = no comparison whatsoever. I think the only connection is alphabetical order...

Yes, that's probably what it is. Still, could've been worse - might've been the Police.

You've ruined this t-shirt for me FH. I can't look at it now without thinking that Tiny looks like Morrissey. He lived near me when I was a kid and he was seriously weird. :(

I am the T-shirt ruiner. :twisted:

Would it help if you pictured Tiny Morrissey getting a pasting from Big Filipino Jim? :wink:

Hey DzM... i've just discovered "Amazon International", after repeatedly utterly failing to complete an order direct from the Amazon Japan site. Are you able to set up a link so the raft gets it's cut?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=487250

And if anybody's looking, there's another 2 copies of "Songs From Bill's Dancehall" cd available on Amazon Japan...

I've been waiting for that album to reappear on Amazon UK for ages. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Aw, thanks for thinking of the raft's coffers. You're far too kind.

In general if you click on any of those earlier links in the thread for the amazon.com site first, THEN go to whatever item you want, a tiny pittance of your filthy lucre will come my way. For this International Ordering Thingy though? Just click this:

And Mr. Chevron's Dance Hall? This:

Thanks Low D!

Ah, looks like we snatched up the last of the $29.85 copies. Although shipping from Japan raised the price i think mine ended up at, er, $43.80!
