I've just been whinging at Amazon for the fact they said they were going to dispatch my 5 CDs more than a month in the future, despite them all being in stock. I'd even tried switching to first class and back to free delivery and it didn't make any difference. Then I tried seeing what it would be like with Express Delivery. Decided it wasn't worth 8 quid, but when I switch back to free delivery again suddenly the dispatch date was January 11th. Maybe I won't have to wait forever for them after all.
A discussion on irc of famous people you want to school with led to a bit of Googling. I can't find any proof that Blue Peter Presenter Mark Curry went there, though I'd always heard it was true. I did however find the website of The Music who I think were around Emily's year, maybe younger. I once wrote a book for the brother of one of the members of the band. Well, a spiral bound hand-illustrated short story. Rather plagiarised from little shop of horrors really.
Still, the special edition of their second album was dirt cheap from an amazon reseller, so I seem to have indulged.
- The Music - Welcome To The North
I expect it'll probably arrive before the others do.
Edit: Oooh, and John Finnigan (Finnegan?) from my form is still playing football, currently apparently captaining Cheltenham. I remember him getting the place in Notts Forest's junior team. I've played footie with him I have (at Junior School). And Danny Orr was in Steph's form and is a pretty good rugby league player, having at one point been the youngest super league team captain.
What famous people went to your school?
First CDs of 2007
Jan. 4th, 2007 06:20 pmOrdered from Amazon, as a treat with my Christmas money from grandparents:
- Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike
- Graham Coxon - Happiness in Magazines
- CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy
- Joan As Police Woman - Real Life
- Robots In Disguise - Get Rid
I was tempted to buy more, but it's amazing how big the total price can get if you just add a few odds and ends.
