So. Over a month ago, I order this hoodie. $50US. See how it's quite clearly grey, and a hoodie? This is important.

Today, I receive a package in the mail. "ohh good", I think, "It's finally arrived"
BUT NO!!!

$30US BLACK T SHIRT. Not even close!!! I mean, seriously, for fuck's SAKE!
Angry emails all round.

Ohhh, that sucks. Fanfire fail yet again.

On the plus side, that is a pretty cool hoodie.

What the hell!

On the upside, contact them and get them to send you the correct item. You'll get to keep the t-shirt. Alison was sent a JT shirt in the wrong size, so they sent her a new one in the right size for free ... and the JT shirt she ordered is my size, so guess what I've scored!

Hmmmm... this leads me to wonder if I could order, say, a lithograph, receive a wrong lithograph, then get the right one sent to me. Or something.

 

[Slopsy]

Yeah, the shirt fits so I'm hoping I get to keep it, as long as I can have the hoodie in the end!

 

[major_panic]

Just randomly, do those little portable fin heaters (I see you have one behind you, ha!) actually work for you? I tried using one the other day and it was about as effective as a flashlight in summer.

On the plus side, my $300 tax refund came today More Dublin spending money!

Ahh, I see the inherent problem here. You probably won't have the hoodie in time for the tour, yes?

But it is good that the shirt fits, BONUS SCORE FTW.

It...warms the area of the room that it's in! It's not the best thing in the world, especially compared to the fire in the lounge. And it takes forever to heat up. But it's ok if I move it right next to me.

There was this guy in my exam today who looked just like Liam. His phone went off during the exam. We were all like "ooh shiit." Sucks to be him!

 

[major_panic]

Damn, I do love smoked salmon sandwiches.

This is my general assessment of them too.

 

[Slopsy]

Mmm, food. Might go and find myself some of that right now!

They're so incompetent that you may be able to do this multiple times.

Geez, not even someone as blind as Ax could mix up a black tee shirt and a grey hoodie, could they? Well, only if they work for U2.com, it seems.

 

[Angela Harlem]

So, it's 12.10pm. Whatn should I have for lunch? I want something savoury. No irrestistable chocolate cake for me today. Besides, I did an awful thing at the markets. I'm feeling AWFUL!

I wonder how many people have ordered lithographs and got a collection of badges instead.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Oooooooooooooh. I could have soup.

 

[Reggo]

Quitting my job is a bad idea, right?

So hang on, there's really lithographs? I thought U-Wen was being funny I get lost and viruses everytime I try to navigate u2.com. Is there a link?

Your heart is saying no, your bank is saying yes.

Go nuts!

I can't figure out why anybody would want lithographs of the Sweetest Thing cover or US Boy cover, though.

I have the 11OTT and UABRS cover lithographs.

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers on toast. I just had some right then.

And what is this awful thing of which you speak?

 

[Reggo]

This.



I think I'm going to give in and have a cigarette. I need something to calm me the hell down, and since MY BROTHER ATE MY EARBUDS! I can't listen to music.

The lithograph of Edge's crotch is sold out.

I've always wanted to buy something off Fanfire, but have never been confident enough of getting it / getting the right item.

Wait, wait, what? Is your brother an affectionate term for your dog or something?

No, my autistic 6-year-old brother, chewed my earbuds off the cord.

Thank you kindly, Ax. Wow, some of them are... and the prices of some? They're machined, too. Some are OK, but they're hundreds or so for something that is really not very worth it. I see the point for the collector or the plain old dedicated fan, I spose, but it's milking a lot of money for some really awful prints. They're not limited, are they?

I'd like the Hutdab Adam lithograph, if it wasn't 100 damn dollars.
