Hurrah! That's a bit more straightforward. A pretty two-pound coin, illustrating the history of science or something, will be on its way soon.

I'll try and post in the morning.

A two pound coin is not as rare as a 2 dollar bill is it?

Nah, 2-pound coins are in wide use.

Doesn't Jefferson have a look of 'please don't take a picture of me right now'?

He's more like, "bitch, please".

i didn't even know 2 dollar bill's existed!!!

Yep, the other side shows the signing of the declaration of independence.

Heh, like I said, I owe you $3, if I can find a $2 bill I'll send that. They're hard to come across though.

1% of US Tender is 2-dollar bills. Thats how rare they are.

IRONIC! TWO dollars... ONE independant country.
WAIT! MAYBE IT'S A CONSPIRACT... THE US IS A PART OF ANOTHER COUNTRY! IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE!

...sorry...

Next round, I think I'm going to try to take part in this.

Right. I have 2 lots of tape artwork, 3 finished tapes, 1 missing tape and 1 tape without artwork. I might replace missing tape with a new tape, depending on when my DJ partner's free, but it doesn't take us any longer than it takes to record us playing for an hour-and-a-half to make that. So, hopefully, at least 3 tapes will be winging their way America-wards come mid-week.

Which leaves me begging the question of - do I still owe 2 English pounds (as it's very unlikely I'll be arsed to change up real money into dollars)?

Incidentally, the tape with the dancehall also includes some Bolivian folk, early music and a fantastic sea-shanty. Just to whet your appetites there.

I would like to join but I have no cassette recorder.

Just send two pounds to cover return postage. Glice, did you need my address again?

Synth, if you make two CDR's of the material (side a, and side b) I can transfer it to tape for you. If you like.

How long does each side have to be?

45 minutes.

Ok Count me in.

Dudes, is all you have to do just record songs onto a tape? If so, count me in to the next round.

Danny, your tape came today, with extra large print as to make sure there was no doubt about where the tape was to be delivered. A success. I also got a petition to close Guantanamo Bay, what an odd combo.

Due to technical issues, my tape is being posted tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.

Not a problem Hipster. Other than Pauly (who sent his earlier), Danny's was the first to arrive.

Cool. I'm writing the customs label now.

I detest customs labels!

They take an eternity to fill out, especially when you've got four or five to fill out. They also make you wait in line to get the customs label, then they make you get out of line to fill them out, only to wait in another (excruciating long) line.

I just get the nice people at our post office to give me a roll of them.

Ours only take a few seconds to fill out.

They're easy from the UK. Just tick 'Gift' and NCV in the value part.

If only!

We have to fill out our address, and the recipients address. Two dated signatures, and a stamp.

I like to write extra big. I am still a child.

Pretty much what I do, obviously ignoring the box 'For commercial items only' and NCV (no commercial value) in the value box.

I also get rolls of them from the nice people at the post office.

Ours looks basically the same, though its green, and has a perforated center, and the other side has the box for the addresses.

Here it is:

Doesn't the green part tear off?

Some post offices are really nice, aren't they?

The only problem I ever have is when I'm sending things to Canada, because it seems that the Canadian authorities are very exact about where to place the customs label. I can never remember the rule.

Danny, the white part does. I'm writing in hurry, this is why my signature is so sloppy when you receive the package.

Our postal workers seem to be moody most of the time, and one of them always comments on the package going to Ireland.

Due to a non-technical issue, I'm not ready to send my tape yet. The non-technical issue being that I haven't started recording it :(

Fret not, Sonicl. I've not started mine either. Though it won't take long, I've got the songs picked out. Just need to record.

I use two post offices regularly. One in my home town, and the one in my work town.

The one in my home town is great. The staff are really friendly and helpful.

I visit the post office in the town where I work only if I really have to. They are the total opposite. It's like pulling teeth, getting information out of them.

And on one occasion, I went in with about 10 parcels to post, and when I got to the counter noticed that one of my parcels had started to come undone. I asked for a bit of sellotape andI was told I'd have to buy some from the PO shop and then re-queue.

As you can tell, this incident has stayed with me:( .

Tiny and old picture of the South Omaha post office. It looks much the same now.

The one in Oxton village where I work is lovely, the central Birkenhead one is a nightmare. I live closer to the Oxton one too, so there's never any need to go to the other place. In fact, the nasty one is one of those being moved to inside WH Smiths (!?) soon.

There's a post office across the street from my mothers apartment which is where I live right now, so mail is easy for me. I also live near a sorting office.

I'm supposed to be laying a floor in our dining room this evening, but I'm calling it a day. I think I'll start my tape instead.

I've lost the list of mix tapes I made for previous rounds, so I hope mine doesn't go to somebody who's already had one from me, because there may be some repetition.

I posted my round ten mixtape this morning.
