This is the sort of thing that would really confuse me as a Chinese learner with very little Japanese. Forewarned is forearmed 😄

I feel like you owe it to posterity that these stories not be lost. Shame about your high days and holy days but.

I wonder if I can persuade my local library to get a copy.

Tennis players, it was Ennui Leconte.

I just charge. $1 if you ask. $2 if I have to get up to find it. $3 if it was exactly where I said it was, and yes, the fees do stack. My son has stopped asking, he's scared of being negative on his allowance.

Instead we have a target chasing shitshow for royal mail in which they get fined for slow processing, because that is of course the important thing, not whether the parcel arrives in one piece.

Of course, if Royal Mail hadn't been privatised, we would now potentially have an effective delivery service, where the aim would be to get the parcel or letter to the correct address using the most eco- efficient service.

Currently seasonal sorting parcels for Royal Mail and you would be amazed how many Evri parcels turn up in our piles (correct number should be 0). We send them on to the right area, no idea if local posties deliver them.
