Yup still nothing here either.   No prog or Meg from last week and, of course, not this week.

Have they said what is going on with the postal service?

ah OK cheers.   Must be a wider issue still.

Is anyone else still waiting on theirs?

I've had neither Prog nor Meg this week.

Just seen on soshul meeja that there are big postal delays this week, and please don't hassle the droids about it. Tharg will provide (eventually).

That makes sense then. Cheers.

No prog or meg here yet. Hope it comes soon.  We've been lucky how regular these have been during the pandemic.

Has this had a delay this week?  no sign of it and it's very rarely not here by release day.

Being in Cornwall I really didn't need to see Hookjaw arriving here in 2020.. should have expected it though really 

No prog in Cornwall either.  I suspect thrill suckers in operation at the Devon border again.

I pre-ordered it as part of the bundle and don't have it yet either. I think the Villains special showed up on a monday, though.

and funnily enough mine did arrive today.  Different packaging to the subs so perhaps not sent from same place?

Has this started to arrive for pre-orders? I got my subs but not this today.

Yeah, mine showed up this morning, albeit with a chunk out of the back cover/back few pages, for some reason. Not sure why/how, given that it's shipped in a stiff card envelope.

ahh thanks for confirming.  Very unusual for my lot not to all turn up together.  Fingers crossed for the next few days.  I have had the odd rebellion thing not make it here but it's very rare thankfully.

Hope your energy comes back Shark.

I can only speak from experience but a very long break from working this year really allowed me to heal and get  some energy back and I've been able to get back to it, albeit part time (and had been very poorly this past year or two).  Don't give up hope mate.

Also the villains special landed too.

How did you get that please? I can't find how to order it anywhere, thanks

sorry for the delay, as others kindly said , I bought the bundle.

Thank you Shark.  I was just talking to my son about this today (discussing the physics as he is doing a chem phys masters).

I did not realise they were about to trial it here though.

Been away from the discussions but my overall take on everything.. Brexit, climate change etc .. we're all fucked.  There's no will to do the right thing and there never will be.   Taken me a long time to accept there really is nothing we can do except our own little things and that they really won't change anything.

Seems to me if someone didn't want things to change, that's the attitude they'd want people to have.  We like to tell ourselves we're helpless to change things because we mistakenly believe that this also makes us blameless.

If everybody does nothing, we really are fucked.  Yes, it will take more than no longer using plastic straws to repair the damage done to our environment, but that is a start and if you can manage that much, you can do something else.  Work your way up, but don't do nothing, don't just hide away from the problem, if only because the Tories have told us they won't let you.
Today you stop using straws or buying milk from animal sources, but tomorrow you could be driving a van full of explosives into Parliament or whatever the next logical step is after ethical consumerism.  Baby steps.

Oh I agree, we've gradually changed our behaviour.  Going down to one car, recycling vastly more, buying less shit, keeping clothes until they are worn then passing to the local charity shops wherewearable rather than buying for the sake of it,  eating far less meat (nearly none) , just generally thinking politically about how we might help not harm others and being willing to be taxed for it etc.. sadly we know that a large chunk of people will never give a fuck so our little changes probably mean nothing.  It's all we can do though.
