It really makes no difference as all the cds I've ever bought from them ( on the uk site ) ship from Hong Kong anyway.... Well no difference apart from the price that is !!!!! Thanks Stu. That was my point, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. It's EXACTLY the same service as UK Cd-Wow, except the CDs are cheaper (#7.74 against the normal #8.99). No difference in packaging or delivery times. In fact, for the recent Nick Cave, it arrive prior to the release date.

My preference would be to *be* in England on 21 June :-) and buy it at midnight, but that isn't likely .... though it's possible! - --Amy, whose daughter is bugging her to pre-order both versions ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 15:17:41 +0100 From: "Noose Boy" Subject: seven-seas RE: I bought it this am from Barry's link and the price was 7.66 GBP Thanks to Barry - -----Original Message----- From: owner-seven-seas@smoe.org [mailto:owner-seven-seas@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Barry Whiting Sent: 17 April 2003 10:49 To: seven-seas@smoe.org Subject: > From: Stu Bird > > Is it just me, or was the point of Barry's post that you could get it even cheaper by using the HK site ?

Bristol's motto is "Virtute et Industria ".. I don't know how much virtue there is in the city, but there's fuck-all industry left. No major music venue, one of the few big cities where the train station is miles from the bus station, only one motorway route into the city. I could go on but it is depressing enough getting this far. We have a nice bridge though....

I know you're talking about England, but it sure sounds like Bristol, Pennsylvania, USA. Its known around here as the "armpit of Bucks County".
