geoffbassist Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I'm waiting for a phone to be delivered. I would be delighted if they gave me your bass instead. That way I could find out what it is! :-) Quote
The Bass Doc Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I just hope the carrier chaps handle the thing carefully - Sue Ryders can be a bit delicate. Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 You must know a different Sue Ryder to me, Doc. The lassie I know is like a hoose end... Quote
The Bass Doc Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 OT......They reckon Clark Gable was built like a hoose end.... Quote

4 Strings Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Birmingham at 7:18, probably well North of Leeds by now. Driver having a quick cuppa on the A1. Hope nobody breaks in while he's not looking. We'll never find out then! Quote
Kiwi Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 WoT I think you might be hamming it up a little now. Mwah ha. Quote

apa Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Is it a custom white Ray with matching headstock and ample room in the neck pocket? A Quote
ShergoldSnickers Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I do hope we won't all be disappointed when we find out.... we wouldn't want any anti-climaxes now. This is your chance to placate any over zealous expectation we might have WoT. Edited January 5, 2012 by ShergoldSnickers Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 I just know you're all going to be disappointed. ha ha. Please bear in mind that a massive change in my world is taking the bridge cover off my Precison, for example... According to the tracking, it's still in flippin' Brum. *sulks* Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Still in Brum, according to the tracking, but still scheduled for delivery today. Is there a lag updating tracking info sometimes? Quote
mart Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1325766803' post='1487248'] Still in Brum, according to the tracking, but still scheduled for delivery today. Is there a lag updating tracking info sometimes? [/quote] Yes, there can be. I can't remember which courier it was, but one of them had a note saying tracking would only be updated after the parcel had been delivered! Really helpful, I thought. Quote
Dom in Dorset Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 My guess is that it was last tracked at a Birmingham depot, and the system won't update until it turns up at another depot or delivered.I doubt that it's in Brum right now. It had better be worth it after all this! Quote
ShergoldSnickers Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 The tension is getting to me now. I'll have to break out the big tin of vintage Victory Vs and chomp myself into a stupor. Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 No. After reading reviews of the courier service who have it, I'm not confident either. Here are the headlines of some of the reviews. ha ha.

I once sent a parcel to New york, it went all the way to the USA then turned around again and got delivered to my return address that i'd written on the back in small letters! Quote
