Le Word Nouveau est arrive
In North London
Only the usual ones.
2 small yorkshire terriers, you know. Can't be/won't be house trained, little bastards.
Arrived chez moi
(in Norwich) at 10:52, just as I switched off the 'puter, thinking I might as well go for a walk.
Rethink ahoy!
Taking the day off
Just so I can catch it BEFORE it plops
Not sure
at work now, but hope it will be there when I get back
New Issue arrived...World Saved!
Yes, it's even reached as far north as Central Scotland now.
Turns *to do list* face down.
No sightings in
Southend yet
Nothing in Battersea yet
but the post comes late and I'm at work. So who knows.
Nada....
yet to reach Chelmsford...
Probably coming up using Knight Boat.
Nowt came here...
... but post never arrives before lunchtime anymore so I have hopes for when I get home...
Not a Sausage
Post man yet to cause screams of joy in Derbyshire Dales. No snow since Sunday, schools all open, no flooding. The natives are restless.
Sweet FA In Chorlton
But I'm going to give the postie another half hour.

Plopless in Pelsall
My doormat remains ungraced by the latest labour of love, alas.
Plop, Plop, Plop
Latest Word, a consignment from Amazon, and a copy of Egg's "The Civil Surface" (via eBay), all landed at once. Cue smiles all round, bottle of special Ardbeg wielded, and a fine Night In ensues...
Should be
in Belfast within the fortnight then ....
sounds like you need a dose
of Philatical senna pod!
just arrived here in the
just arrived here in the peoples republic of cleethorpes hurrah
Just arrived here in
sunny Rockfield, Monmouthshire
Nice to see the cover is back to it's beardy norm as well
As in the recording studios, Rockfield?
?
Yup...
the very same Rockfield
Waiting In Vain
I fear I may be waiting in vain this month as I may have been a little late in renewing my subscription. Looks like a trip to WH Smiths for this month and the plopping will resume next month.
Official Distribution Update
I can confirm that all subs copies were posted on Monday, but if the Royal Mail nationally is anything like it is round my way, then they're still probably catching up from last week's snow trauma.
I now have visions of Fraser...
schlepping to the local post office dragging a tartan shopping trolley full of subscriber editions
Ploppage
Looks like I renewed in time after all as mine was waiting for me when I arrived home yesterday.
Word has winged itself
successfully out to Windsor way. (No, I am not the Queen's magazine wrangler although I'm sure she subscribes. Big Decemberists fan apparently. And Prince Philip was behind the Squirrelgate thread)
I gather
the royals, along with Otis Ferry, aren't too keen on Fleet Foxes, though.
Too difficult to catch, apparently. (All that reverb confuses the hounds.)
Nothing for me in Royal Berkshire yet
but then I do come from the rough side of the M4...
Hurrah!
It's Wordy up North.
West.
Ditto
Personally dropped off in Notlob by Mark Ellen, I understand.
The Eagle has Landed
Oh Happy Day!
The post man has had the most rapturouse of wellcomes. The Word is in the house. Now the family wrangles start.
It's Arrived.
Crisis averted. Evening in with a fish pie and the Word awaits.
Fish Pie
For supper, dinner or tea?
Doesn't say where he is though......
...he'd need to be in Scotland to get a fish supper methinks.
It's tea in our house...
... it was pretty nice too.
The Word arrives in Bradford...
still waiting for the 21st Century though.
I shouldn't bother
with 21st cth when it turns up it's bobbins full of people twittering(it's like ceefax but without bamboozle) and doing bad covers of Leonard cohen records , the weather's bad oh and we are all skint.
Crossed the Irish Sea...
Arrived early afternoon and checked through with a large mug of tea and the CD blasting out Mary Coughlan etc.
Sounds like it's not the same John Martyn who has died after all. The one in the magazine seems to be a lovely fella. A genius, an inspiration, kind to puppies and orphans, always bought his round, salt of the earth, etc., etc.
What happened to the curmudgeonly old sod on the cover a few months back?
He died.
Makes all the difference.
Although lord only knows what the obits will find to say about Van's personality when his time comes - maybe he keeps kittens and does night shifts for The Samaritans?
Hoping it has plopped
in sunny Yateley but given that I am still at my desk, I don't know for sure. It will give my journey home that little extra frisson of excitement that black ice alone can't manage.
new
wheres my Word! my last issue didnt arrive either and had to ring up the subs people who were very nice and sent me another.
North London
It's arrived today and N8 is longer a Word Free Zone.
walked through the door just
now and almost trod on it! and the nice people from amazon have been too!
yep
Arrived yesterday in the frozen North east .
Now I Can Escape From Watching Masterchef
Arrived Today Here In The East Midlands, Along With More Snow!
Still no sightings
in the Southend area?
they've been sent on the misery line
so maybe some time.
Glory be
My copy arrived yesterday courtesy of my neighbour's small child!
Postman unable to get his van up my road due to snow and ice so left my post with the neighbour (150 yds away). Neighbour clearly realising my need of Wordy sustenance was prepared to potentially sacrifice his child to the icy wastelands to ensure safe delivery.
