Copies to subscribers were put in the post on Thursday 16th November, the claimed delivery time is up to 7 working days for Europe and 10 working days for the rest of the world. Of course with Christmas coming it may be a little slower…
Thanks
Mike
My copy arrived this morning Mike, so looks like it’s better than seven days within the UK
Rob
Ooh, that’s pretty nice, I’m looking forward to Issue 2, I hope I won’t have to fight my brother over who gets to read it first that’s me obviously though. Great job Mike!
Well I lost the fight, my non-riding wife had the first read, and took the Buff/calender, something to do with Christmas presents
Keith
Got mine this morning. Cheers guys. Currently trying to sus out the buff. Should keep me amused for a while.
Mine too. Calendar’s good, shame about the purple on the Buff. What’s this “Fall 2006” stuff about on the front? I thought it was supposed to be the “Autumn 2006” issue.
any pictures of the buff?
if they were mailed out on 11/16, and you received your copy today, 11/18, that’s only 2 days, not seven. But i think what you meant by “better” was actually “faster” or “sooner?” Here in the US, using the phrase “better then 7 days”, would usually mean “longer than 7 days”. I hope our issues get here soon too, but I have a feeling it’ll take a bit longer to get to the US. CAn’t wait!
same!
lol, I can’t find my first one:(
Mine came today. Which was really nice cos I also had a disappointing letter from the university. Two pages into the mag I thought, sod 'em and I’m no longer upset.
I like the calender.
I thought I might give the buff as a christmas pressie but sam opened it and showed me how to wear it, I dare say it will come in handy in the bitter winter wind.
And my lovely lilac coker (mark 1) is in for the second issue in a row. Oh, er, that’s all of them then.
You Americans are weird… “better” means “more good” - surely you would say it is “better” if something gets to you faster than expected?
Weirdos
Anyway, hope it gets to you quickly - it looks good (although I haven’t read any of it yet, only had a quick flick though).
Danny - what’s wrong with purple? Or do you mean it’s a bit lacking in contrast with the black background? I like black and purple
Rob
Thats how I understood that too.
In the context in which it was written, “better than 7 days” most assuredly would indicate “longer” than, not “shorter” or “faster”. And the operative word you used, “more” would also be indicative of “more” time, in “more than 7 days”. It really depends on context. For example, the phrase: “the better part of an hour”, refers to more than half, not less.
Here you go:
My wife loves black and purple. I’ve always thought of purple as rather a girly colour. And yes, it is rather lacking in contrast.
Still, it doesn’t hurt to have a third Buff, and I /have/ already worn it.
You’re not wrong there. I don’t think they’ll ever learn to speak English
So, is it available from unicycle.com now too?
Lol, I’m loving the mad photoshop skills in the calendar.
alright! thanks.
looking forward to it!
Yey!
Mine arrived today, a fun read as ever. Lots of content to browse through! I’m already looking forward to the next one though.
The buff is nice, as is the calendar!
