Lest you think Germany is mastering this crisis any better than anyone else, we just had our first postal delivery in three days.
Re. local support. It'll be interesting to see if fans graduate towards their local clubs the deeper we get into environmental shit and/or consciousness-raising. Also, I'm always a bit ambivalent about those fans who cover thousands of miles every year to follow their teams away from home. Great devotion and loyalty and all that, but, come on, how many of those journeys are really necessary? With digital streaming of away games, there's not much reason to waste time, money and energy on long away trips any more, is there? Sure, you want to cheer the lads on and take in the fresh air and magnificent scenery of Rochdale and show how much you care more than the plastic armchair fans, but at the expense of our air quality and the destruction of the planet?

I don't know how much of Fleetwoods numbers were boosted by the recent issues at Blackpool.

Mine still hasn't arrived. We've had a couple of deliveries around teatime in the past few days but no sign of WSC. I bumped into a neighbour this morning and asked if he'd had any problems. Turns out he's more proactive than I am and has made enquiries. Our regular postie is away from work at the moment and they are short-staffed. Anything that went into the system two weeks ago is likely to be lying unsorted in a box at the sorting office and they are only delivering some of the mail that has arrived in the past few days. Meanwhile the other side of the road is getting deliveries because it's on a different round. Perhaps this ought to be in Mundane III.

My daughter wanted to surprise a friend who lives about 6 blocks from us by sending the friend a letter. She sent the letter in November; it still has not arrived to her friend.
Two really funny letters in this issue: (1) referee tripping over John Gregory while Gregory was tying his boots and (2) a letter about teams hiring hydrologists. I love the laugh out loud letters.

I was delighted to see our postie back today. A lot of mail came through the door followed about half an hour later by another lot, so I'm wondering if that had gone through the wrong door as sometimes happens. This includes one item that I knew was on the way and why I thought there was a problem. No WSC though, but four Christmas cards.

That line in the TV Watch column about David Marshall's facial expression post playoff penalty save changing "from anxious enquiry to jubilation with the shocking suddenness that makes the movement of frogs so terrifying" is everything I love about this magazine.
