The Amazon pre-order scam

Julian was NOT happy either:

"I'm annoyed with @amazon for charging 20% more to people who pre-ordered my @naxosrecords CD A Tale of Two Cellos! WHY?"

[MrGongGong]

were you in Brum band Mighty Mighty, by any chance?

Sadly not
(and I didn't have a "kipper tie" either ......... not even Ceylon )
But I was in a band at school for a wee bit with Andy McCluskey BUT I will never forgive him for Atomic Kitten

well at £4 odd he won't make much in royalties. perhaps he thinks they should have added 50%

Are they the snazzy footwear that the well dressed kippers are wearing this season perchance ?

[MrGongGong]

Several people have pmed me to suggest that I have the requisite qualities and should join the moderators team. So far I've resisted, but you never know.

Poachers .....Gamekeepers ????
Eddie Grundy for PM

He has such a way with words.

Surely he of all people should know why he's annoyed!

perhaps they should give Beefy a trial as a mod on " The Choir".

he's a cellist. Nobody pays him to make sense.

anyway, perhaps he's just annoyed all the time.

I 've got it figured. He is annoyed because random @ symbols keep interrupting his sentences.

I really hope this thread stays on topic.

Well, very slightly OT, but I did mostly find 'pre-ordering' from hmv.com (before they went bust) a very reliable method of getting a good deal. With amazon.co.uk I very rarely opt for ordering prior to release. With them, a lower price quite often follows release, either from them directly, or via their marketplace. I suppose it partly depends upon how eager one is to get your hands on new releases.

Perhaps he doesn't get royalties?!

I can't see ANYTHING that might be a problem there

Well he doesn't "get" Schoenberg that's for sure (as witnessed on the BBC4 Doc earlier in the year)

That's his brother.
