Hellfire and damnation on you Amazon!

[clo_again]

So I preorder Hot Fuzz weeks in advance, at the 'expensive' Amazon price of £16.99 instead of play's £15.99 because they had pretty 'artcards' with it. They dispatch it and then drop the goddamn price to £15.98.

I *don't care* that £1 makes no difference in the great scheme of things. I don't care that it wouldn't pay my bus fare. I only care that Amazon are the sneakiest little bastards on the planet.

Giving you a card of FAIL here Amazon. Total fail.

In News Of My Life, hotel for Ireland is sorted (it was the one I thought it was and yes, I have a room and yes, it's easy to get a taxi to from the airport though I can't have an early check-in and there's going to be entertainment finding somewhere to get changed. At least I'll have a *bed* to sleep in, which is a definite plus.) Now I just need to find out which church I'm meant to be heading for. Somehow.

I really need to start filing things like invitations in an easy-to-find system. Really.

edit: Also while I'm on LJ (since I don't know how much time I'll have before Ireland on Wed. morning now): Advent Children was confusing but pretty. Wish they'd do a movie for FFVIII which I actually *understand the background* for. Plus it never gets old watching the universe annoy Squall for funsies.

I bought way too many clothes today but the 'rent paid for some. Yay! They're all very pretty clothes. Double yay! Got cool black shoes (finally) but wore them while shopping and they rub like a bitch. Sort-of-yay!

Left all my jackets in Lancaster because I thought it was too warm for them but now suspect I'll be wandering through the centre of Dublin in a corset top at 2pm with nothing to put over it. Will look mighty foolish. Back-up plan needed.

...Nope. That's all I got.

Can't remember.... have you fallen in love with Black Books yet?
If not, you need to watch them all..... now! You'll be writing Bernard Black and Manny fic in no time :P

Anyway, this is what made me think of it while reading your journal:

Bernard: Perhaps you'd like me to put the price down.

Customer: Well I was thinking two pounds.

Bernard: Because three pounds is just naked profiteering? For a book, a mere... 912 pages long? What'll I do with that extra pound? I'll add an acre to the grounds. I'll chuck some more koi carp in my piano-shaped pond. No, I know, I'll build a wing on the National Gallery with my name on it.

I have and finished watching them all a couple of weeks back. There's hardly a need to write Bernard/Manny; the show practically does it for you. ;)

:D I love that quote. Dammit, now I want to watch them all again and they're in Lancaster! Though Amazon still gets a fail for being sneaky and underhand about their pricing; Bernard is allowed to be a git because he does it in an awesome way. ^_^
