To use a classic film quote... I have moments... :mrgreen:

Max became such a "legend" over here that I think the singalonga(add name here) tag was invented with him... I use it to describe anything Status Quo have done since Blue For You... SingalonaQuo... :mrgreen:
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Picking up mine noooooooooow ....
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Or are you bringing it?
The new batch should have been here two days ago, from Germany...

The new books have finally been delivered. It took the printer way too long.
And even now with this second time (after I rejected the entire previous batch) they managed to ruin part of the batch by using too flimsy cardboard boxes for the shipment. About 10% of the shipment got damaged during the journey from the printer to my place. But at least I can start selling the other 90% after two months of waiting...

I don't think I'll do business with those donkeys again.   :o

That's too bad. You would think they would take extra care after what happened last time. At least you have most of the shipment to sell.

I received mine, Rob, bedankt! Once again an honor, to see Ze Kölleckshün presented so well.

A buddy of mine from another forum picked up a copy and is ecstatic.

Nice work!

Mine took forever to arrive , and according to the tracking number has yet to enter Canada . It was well worth the wait . It's exactly what I was hoping it might be .
I've quickly flipped through it , but I'm only going to read so many pages a day . I want to enjoy it .
Rob , congratulations , you hit it right out of the park .
... and Uwe , a gorgeous collection .
I'm pretty nerdy about some things , and found some I never knew existed . And that's exactly why I wanted a copy !
