Re: OT - Request for GFM attendee

Just a quick note to all who responded - you know who you are - to say
thanks very much for your generosity. I have it sorted now and hopefully
a very nice man in a very nice car full of Pentax gear will be toting
along some Thermoses for me ;-)

Once again the kindness of the people subscribed to this list has proven
itself and I salute you all. Very much looking forward to meeting everyone.


Best,




Cheers,
  Cotty

They _should_ be the Stanley green ones.  These have been around
for years, and you can buy all replacement parts easily.  I've had
two of 'em for years, and they're great.  Not that expensive, either.

Pity we didn't know about this earlier, or I could have just paid for
these for you instead of trying to find my UK chequebook, a stamp, ...

OT - Request for GFM attendee

2004-05-29 Thread Cotty
Hi All,

I have a request for anyone attending GFM and who would like to receive a
pot of genuine Frank Cooper's Oxford Marmalade as a gratuity for the
following:

I would like to buy 3 very simple items, namely some steel insulated
Thermos bottles of the kind I can't get in the UK. I have found a store
that has them all in stock and will do FedEx or UPS 2-day or even
overnight shipping (I know it's a holiday weekend in the USA). The three
items come to about 85 bucks plus shipping, so it's going to be over $100
or so.

I daren't ask the people that have so generously donated their time and
space already, and this does involve going to a web site and ordering
using a debit or credit card.

If anyone would like to help me out, I would of course be very grateful,
and will reimburse, in cash, in full at GFM, *plus* a star prize of a jar
of marmalade. Stop laughing.

Please contact me off list at

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many thanks,




Cheers,
  Cotty
