Is that the best you could do? Central heating? (Yawns and hands Godot a polished mirror and a box of tissues.) And I'm not your mate. Not unless you buy me dinner and a nice box of chocolates. And a tiara.
I used to like her (Lauren Laverne, in case we've gone off at a tangent somewhere). She's funny, intelligent and makes me laugh as she's really very dry.
Then, when she was on Xfm's breakfast show, she told me I'd won a signed copy of Chuck Palahniuk's Haunted, which was fab. But it never came. So I emailed her. She very nicely responded to say 'Don't know what happened there. I'll have a look and get back to you.'
She never did.
The bitch.
I've had to buy it myself.

She's okay.

I think this happens a lot with radio comps. I remember a friend won a bracelet belonging to the singer of the band that were one hit wonders with the song 'Crash', on a radio phone-in. He never received it. Though I don't think he was really bothered mind.

Postmen steal a lot of stuff.

How many other people have found piles of mail dumped behind some bushes by a postie? I've seen this twice. I've also had a couple of big Amazon orders going missing in transit.

Dolly Dagger attacking the working man! Me, yes, but you!

But they're not working. That's the problem. 
To be fair, being a postman must be a shitty job, especially when they're delivering junk mail that nobody ever reads. You can't really blame them for exercising editorial control over their sacks.
TWO HMV orders over Christmas and January didn't turn up! TWO! It's a disgrace.
I moaned to them (but kept the cashback anyway).

I've never seen tissues with a tog rating Roscoff - is that a Welsh thing? And the mirror's cracked you daft c**t - was it your make-up mirror?

You guys love your smirking bimbos, don't you. Anyone remember Charles Hazelwood and Verity Sharpe - the original presenters of the Culture show before it became a year 10 school project?
I'll tell you who I hate, who fits into this group of presenters and that's Terry Christian, I want to punch his face and hope he never talks again. I've been lucky enough to avoid any post-CBB coverage, so I don't know how well he's fairing. Let's hope this is the end of him.

I'm pretty sure she's an 'all A's at A-level' student, wasn't she?
But that's by-the-by; where's my f**king book, you bitch?!

No.
It's probably the good, honest, hard-working southern posties.

There are three good stories in Haunted - the one about breather Betty, A Civil Twilight and the one that caused fainting and vomiting at book-readings - about the swimming pool.
As for Laverne's A level results - you're the second person to mention that. I cannot understand the relevance. I don't have any A-Levels at all.
