Don't worry about it!  I'm more bummed when I start a thread and it's just crickets.

I am looking forward to good stuff in the mail any day now. I think "the parcel" should be with me soon!  ;D

I keep refreshing to see if there's a new post in the Sports & Leisure section.  I am pretty sure it will arrive today.  The post is usually pretty efficient, and I know for sure it went out on Monday.  I just hope there's something in the box that interests you!

Seriously, it was fantastic.  Sometimes I don't like stouts because they are overly strong or bitter.  This one was really mild and not bitter at all.  The smoky flavour was just the right amount and it had a great smell when I popped the seal.  It was far better than the last professionally brewed dark beer I had.

Excited that you got to try PB's beer!  I want to eat veggies from her garden!

I keep hesitating to add my name to the mystery box list.  I know how bad I am at going to the Post Office!   ;D

You should join.  I managed to forward it along (after sitting on my coffee table for 6 days!).  If I can do it, you can do it!

Really, I think it would be fun to keep the parcel floating around indefinitely.  Maybe people could sign up again after so many names on the list since the last time they received the parcel.  This way, jimbocz could get back in on the action, since he started it and didn't get to receive anything.

I signed up and by the sounds of it will be on the midst of a move by the time it gets to me! But I promise I'll send it on eventually :D

Although it does make me happy that another parent expresses their love by ridicule, as in sending a giant box of mousetraps all the way to England

My mom gets a little to much use of her Amazon prime lol. She's always got jokes on me and sending me stuff to remind me she's making fun of me lol. By the way she's my best friend ha!

Amazon couldn't find my flat the other day. Called me ten times at work I explained in depth two times and ignored them the rest of the time. I don't get it. The street comes to the back of our flats you have to walk to the front but delivery guys never seem to get it. I feel your pain! But Royal Mail makes it to us.

That's because Royal Mail staff are demigods.  Too bad the privatization is ruining the company.  :(

Yeah, I feel quite honoured!  I love making beer, it's very fun and full of cooking and engineering and science as a hobby. And you get something nice out the other end!  :D
