Do you hate it if someone else opens it and listens to it first? We had Edie Brickell 'Circle' deliverd by the postie this morn and i wasn't allowed to play it all day long.

It really wouldn't bother me, but for some reason Jonno has to be the one to pull all the tape off and play it first.

I'd be a bit gutted if I got home and it was opened and stuff. Its part of the treat of being at work all day and you get home to a nice welcome tune waiting for maximum volume, some headphones and a private moment where you drift off and pretend you are at a massive rave djing and everyone is going nuts. Or perhaps thats just me

I used to get them delivered elsewhere as I get the usual "Death Stare" when one turns up and the comments like "tut..another one, why you've got loads already?"
I just get them delivered to the house now and put up with it as depending on the record(s), its worth the aggro lol.

Nah, its not like that in our house, we pay the bills then the spare is a free for all. He never complains about what i spend and vice versa, we always have enough money but as we spunk so much we have very little savings lol (mahoosive record, trainer and make up collection between us tho!).

What does piss me off is the record sitting there all day and not been able to play it.

Its smart opening packages, it feels like your birthday:D The missus has absolutely no interest in opening them, which is fine by me:D

Still prefer sifting through racks though, particularly in dusty old 2nd hand record shops (what a wierdo eh:D )

It amazes me the amount of shit that blokes seem to get on here for buying records. What the hell has it got to do with anyone else. Women buy tons of bloody beauty products and cack like that

Exactly :thumbsup:

I'm an impatient sod... when Im expecting a few to arrive I ring home to see if any have been delivered... if they have I get whoevers at home to open the mailer and tell me what they are

If its a big want I'll sometimes drive home in my dinner hour just to play it :$
