more on shipping

I just got in some 5-inch cube boxes that I can squeeze about 72 disks into. My cost of shipping that to Australia, New Zealand, the UK and EU countries is about $37. Cost of shipping to Canada is about $27. But here's the catch: customs. I can't put actual value on the customs form unless you want to pay a duty on the package. I don't mind that, but if the box disappears en route I'm not going to take the hit. Nearly $350. You see, there's always a catch. I receive complaints on the shipping, especially from Australia, from people claiming I can ship dozens of disks for not much more. True, but who is accepting responsibility for the package arriving? Not me.

Shipping Changes

Yesterday, here in the US, new postage rates went into effect, however the changes aren't quite as dramatic as they were a year ago. As with last year, it looks like Canada had the biggest increase, but even that wasn't much of a change. So....posted below are the new rates.

Old Jack's Boat

Old Jack's Boat is a show for young kids that aired last winter. Starring Bernard Cribbins, Janine Dutvitski, Helen Lederer, etc. No, I'm not branching out. I was impressed with the quality and put this together for someone. If you have kids in the house around 4 to 6 years old they may enjoy this. Some of the episodes are on youtube, so you can check it out. They're all about 14 minutes in length.

Roger Lloyd-Pack 1944 - 2014

Roger Lloyd-Pack has died. Roger will be long remembered for several of his well-known roles. From Trigger in Only Fools and Horses to Owen Newitt in Vicar of Dibley to Tom in The Old Guys and dozens of roles in shorter series and guest appearances. He was most recently featured in a series of The Borgias. Even the BBC story linked below mentions his first television appearance (uncredited and without dialogue) in 1965 in an episode of The Avengers, but I don't think that was Roger. Looks like a much older and heavier man, closer to how he looked above in last year's Vicar of Dibley Comic Relief special, than how he looked a few years later when he appeared in Virgin of the Secret Service, still boyish and thin. You be the judge.
