If you saw my face and totally shaven head, you would probably end up buying the cap for me just to hide the wearer!
One dat I might even post a mug shot, but I think even Richard Shawcross had more luck than me in that department.
I LOVE the person who said "looks aint everything"

Hey George,

An Alembic umbrella would be more useful than a baseball cap at the moment!

Im starting to seriously consider trading the car in for a kayak! Is there actually still a sun in this universe?

I woke up today and was horrified to discover that my kids have developed webbed feet:-)

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly, it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

George's mugshot can be found second from the right here.

I don't wear baseball caps but would probably buy one.

Both of your orders are boxed up, and will ship out in a day or so, when we next go to the post office. Make sure you let us know when you receive them.

Just wanted to say how well it was packed, together with a gift card from the Mothership.
What service!!
Must also say that Mary's writing is just superb.

Anything over £19 attracts the customs men like flies ;-( I'm owing £12, £9 of which is the Post Office handling charge! £9 to put a package on a shelf and wait for me to go to their depot to collect it! they don't even attempt delivery where a payment is due. That's value for money;-0

Graeme
p.s. air tax is coming, just wait and see;-)

Steve. If it had reached the UK, the post office would have left you a card. Your best bet would be to contact Mica directly, she's very friendly and helpful and will be able to tell you if the order has been processed.

I think you did George. I ordered three - mine and 2 for mike. if we'd odered seperately we probably wouldn't have reached the £19.00 limit :-( I don't mind paying the duty. What grates is paying the post office £8 handling charge when they haven't even tried to deliver it - just sent out a card, so I've had to take time out to drive up to bathgate as they've closed our local sorting office. Thay's what the poyal mail calls progress.

The hats are nice though ;-)

Buying Alembics or visit the states, buying Alembics or visit the states...etc. etc... Ah!, come to the states to buy an Alembic!
Oh and by the way I don't need a cap, I take propecia(no, really)! For you guys overseas it's a drug when taken helps you keep what rug you've got left.

I doubt you need to take anything for your hair Adam. You look to have plenty to last a lifetime;-)

Visiting the mothership and ordering a new custom are things I'd like to have done for my 50th (in a couple of years) but it's probably going to have to wait a couple more;-(
