Meeting people on stairs
I once met Stewart Lee. I was heading up the stairs at the underbelly as he passed me on the way down. I moved slightly from out of his way to help him pass and he said 'thanks mate' or 'cheers mate' or something.
I was profoundly moved. Which is to say, I moved.
bit hard to say whether you've met him there really, although it hasn't troubled you. A bit like the 'conversation' I had with Frank Black, whereby I said 'great gig Frank' and he said 'thanks'
did you read the book pliny? did it help?
Pliny appears not to be here.
posting packages
I know the pain of post office visits. But you can go to the royal mail website, pay for and print off the postage. You just have to weigh the packages to find out the right amount to pay. Then you only have to go to the window at the end of the counter to pass your package through, no need to queue.
It's true, I swear. And, if your packages fit in the letter box slot, you don't need to go to the PO at all.
Trying to help.
every time i go in now i feel slightly anxious in the anticipation of the terrible advertisements of which richard spake
but it means i'm prepared and they're not a nasty shock
"watch out for wendy richard in the people's post office on your tv" sounds like a threat from someone delusional - for one thing i don't have a people's post office on my tv. Just some post.
