you never know what                 the next day will bring, but, like today,    i became disappointed    and the amount        of letters i received    by mail... in the past 10 years,    i received only bank statements,      alumni magazines from edinburgh and u.c.l.,           oh, and those two letters (+ a book) from a girl from warsaw... but today?       i look at the counter and see this letter for me...       but that's the odd thing, i've never had contact    with harrington & byrne: hanover sq., mayfair                             (W1S 1BN)... the **** do they want i thought while opening the envelope...        ah... i knew it, ********     buying the 1840 penny black postage stamp with queen victoria aged 15, for a "mere" one hundred and twenty quid...    but that's good...          they also sell gold & silver coins...      i'll phone them up   or write to them, and ask them    about my collection       of foreign currency - you never know,      those polish banknotes    from the inflation period prior to the collapse of the soviet union might be worth   something akin   to the excess of zeroes written on them; **** you think i'd be making this up googling the brand?          like i said...   **** me... my email account is even better...                   i have           about a total of 20 emails in it...         either i'm covert,   or invisible,      or "worse" still,           a persona non grata;         mmm...                          bliss! saying that: it's nice to receive the most random letters...                  ACTUAL PAPER! sooner or later, you'll get perverts roaming the streets,      with a sheet of paper in their hand... rubbing it between their fingers...     as you'll get those perverts sniffing ink-cartridge, once loaded     into fountain-pens - can you remember the days of chalk & blackboards?

mail oddity (harrington & byrne)
you never know what                 the next day will bring, but, like today,    i became disappointed    and the amount        of letters i received    by mail... in the past 10 years,    i received only bank statements,      alumni magazines from edinburgh and u.c.l.,           oh, and those two letters (+ a book) from a girl from warsaw... but today?       i look at the counter and see this letter for me...       but that's the odd thing, i've never had contact    with harrington & byrne: hanover sq., mayfair                             (W1S 1BN)... the **** do they want i thought while opening the envelope...        ah... i knew it, ********     buying the 1840 penny black postage stamp with queen victoria aged 15, for a "mere" one hundred and twenty quid...    but that's good...          they also sell gold & silver coins...      i'll phone them up   or write to them, and ask them    about my collection       of foreign currency - you never know,      those polish banknotes    from the inflation period prior to the collapse of the soviet union might be worth   something akin   to the excess of zeroes written on them; **** you think i'd be making this up googling the brand?          like i said...   **** me... my email account is even better...                   i have           about a total of 20 emails in it...         either i'm covert,   or invisible,      or "worse" still,           a persona non grata;         mmm...                          bliss! saying that: it's nice to receive the most random letters...                  ACTUAL PAPER! sooner or later, you'll get perverts roaming the streets,      with a sheet of paper in their hand... rubbing it between their fingers...     as you'll get those perverts sniffing ink-cartridge, once loaded     into fountain-pens - can you remember the days of chalk & blackboards?
