Alright, gays?

I went to a funeral yesterday, which turned into a wake, which turned into a piss up. I jumped out of bed, late for work, hungover to fuck, stormed into Uxbridge, only to be told I wasn't due in at all this morning. Took me twice as long to get home.

You could just say 'I post them' and everyone would understand this, but you insist on this contrived method where everything is 'collected'. I can't see much posting going on here.

You weren't able to infer from my hashtag that I'm the one who posts them?
And even if the postman walked right up to my desk, took the parcel from my hands and drove it straight to Kroney's house, this would still count as sending (a letter or parcel) via the postal system, or 'posting' it.

1. One who pays undue attention to book learning and formal rules.
2. One who exhibits one's learning or scholarship ostentatiously.
(, Tue 24 Jun 2014, 11:17, Reply)
No, since your hashtag contained a question which I have mused over rather than a statement of fact.
All I'm saying is if you embrace the relatively simple postal system used for hundreds of years you might sell more than 6 records, instead of over complicating the matter for your legion of fans.
(, Tue 24 Jun 2014, 11:18, Reply)
The question was intended to make you consider how I might already be aware if Kroney had bought my record.
I didn't realise it was going to throw up all manner of other queries as to what would happen once it left my possession.
