It Sucks not being able to order music gear from Scotland When I live in the US

Just a bit of a rant an a vent for me here ........ 

All the stores like Scottlands Buddy etc wont send any goods out to the US :( 

It works out cheeper because of the exchange rate at the momment to buy gear from Scotland and have it sent over than it would be to buy it here in the US. 

I was looking at mics and things and asking to get them shipped but they wont do it due to some law about if I can buy it from a distributer in the US then they cant ship it. 

Personaly I think this blows ! 

Sorry all I just felt like venting my fristration :P 




wait - maybe this map can help me http://maps.google.com/maps?hq=http://maps.google.com/help/maps/directions/driving/mapleft.kml&f=d&dirflg=d&ll=39.300299,-98.789062&z=4&utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=ha&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk-dd&utm_term=google%20directions

    Tell me what you need, I'll go buy it and drive it over to you. Jon will work out the financial details.

    It's not going to be cheap! 

    That's quite a span to build a bridge and fuel prices are crazy just now, then there's my time...

    Reminds me of a story....
     
     
    A man from Florida had just risked his life to save a group of children from a burning building.  The man was severely injured and put into the hospital for a spell.   While recovering, an angel appeared to him and told him she could grant him one wish.    The man, having close ties to the Bahamas, asked the angel to build a bridge between Florida and the Bahamas.   The angel gave it some thought, then replied that although that was a good wish, she could no undertake such an almost impossible project.   She asked him for another wish.   The man replied that he wished he fully understood women.   The angel thought for a moment, then she asked the man to describe the bridge he wanted in more detail.

    Now you've done it Mooch!  You've angered a Scotsman!  Hope you have some really good whiskey to give as a peace offering or there's going to be trouble!

    Mooch is loosely using the literary vehicle called "play on words".


    In other words, he's making fun of your post in alight hearted way. It's done all the time in the Coffee House. CA$H DAWG musicman100, drewfx1 and jinga are masters at it. I submit I'm two notches below Mooch at doing it.
