Heartland

Got it earlier tonight - already about a hundred pages in. And yes - a larger volume than expected. Thoroughly enjoying it so far!

Arrived this morning in Ireland, no extra fees, already glued to it, it's a beautiful thing. Congrats Mark.

Got notified that it's arrived at a shop which is closed now. Will get it on Monday after paying 7,66€ in extra fees.

Wow - just finished it. Fantastic read. There’s a lot I didn’t know. I wonder how many demos never got leaked?

a lot of people saying how much they got a buzz out of seeing their name in print; yet with the exception of HL's Chaotician who can do whatever the f**k she wants by me, i wouldnt care to be in the SUPERFANNYS section at the front...even if it werent a "PAY-TO-LOOK-GOOD" bit for wankers.

Finished it, very good read. All we need now is Von's own account of events

I will not be holding my breath

oh my... most have received their book by now it seems?

Damn, I'm beginning to feel left out. F*ck you, Brexit

I should be used to waiting, being a sisters person & all that


ps: hi all, long time no see, hope all is well in the Heartland?

But you did find it important enough to join us in the averagefanny's in the back of the book

If you live in NL or Belgium you may have an email from Post NL about custom charges that you firstly need to pay - this very often goes into the Spam or Advert (reclame) file.

Belgium indeed. But nope, don't think I received anything. Just checked the spam filter, plenty of stuff there, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for...
(I did confirm my adress to Unbound a while ago)

I know some Belgian friends received their books last week already here, but I will just have to be more patient

Yeah, still waiting for mine in Ireland. Not a big problem - super busy at the moment, but looking forward to reading it over the next few weeks.

Lots of people hiding behind their real names there

To anyone who bought access to the playlist..
I don't have a Spotify account, and don't want one, but can't open the playlist without an account. Does anyone know a way round this?

me neither. but then again i didnt reply to that email asking me if i want to send the book right away or whether i am willing to wait until they find some arrangement.
shrug.

The playlist is just on Spotify. I use the free version i.e. I get advert interruptions etc. So no charge to hear the playlist ...

Ah yes, I left that unturned also. True...

Don't complain I have to pay 20€ in extra fees. First 9€ in import taxes then 11€ in custom fee for them to process my parcel.. f**king wankers..

Mine arrived in Donegal yesterday ....

Apparently Ralph Waldo Emerson said "it is not the destination it is the journey" and many others of note have commented that the anticipation is better than the realisation.

So, I would just like to say a "Big Thank-You" to Amazon for increasing my anticipation by at least five weeks

My waiting should be "over by Christmas" - but History shows that not to be the most reliable of timescales

Arrived in Derry at the beginning of last week. The joys of Brexit. Mind you it costs the same to send an Abridged to Buncrana (20 minutes away) in Donegal as it does to Brussels or Berlin. The joys of the Royal Mail.

Cancel order and get from another supplier? In the 8085 FB groups people have done that and it arrived. In stock at WH Smith for £20 and Bookshop.org for a bit more. Rough Trade for £20 and say 5-10 days. (Foyles. Waterstones and Hive - need to restock like Amazon)

My copy arrived in North Wales last week. I'm looking forward to reading it when I get a minute's peace

Hell, that is even worse !!! ... ... I really feel sorry for everybody outside the UK. And all that thanks to the idiot brexit.
It's interesting, though, and good to know what additional cost can be expected when ordering stuff from the UK nowadays...

Anyway, I've collected the book from the shop on Monday ... ... now looking for a time window to start reading it ... ...
