Happy new year to all! All over the world, to you music fans, connoisseurs, and various people with great taste in reading.
This is a new feature at mikeladano.com and I hope you have a chuckle with your morning coffee. Every Sunday I’ll share something funny or otherwise amusing that made me smile or raise an eyebrow. This week, a parcel arrived from the Royal Mail, rather late: precisely one month after it was ordered. Normally mail from England arrives rather quickly, but the explanation can be found in the picture below.
You see where it says “CANADA” in big letters? I know, I know. Because “Canada” is spelled so similarly to “Thailand”. They both have “an” in the name with a “d” somewhere.
No big deal; Marillion.com are always happy to replace lost items, they have done it for me before. I received the parcel unscathed…from England via Thailand. Would you like to know what’s inside?
So… what’s inside the box? WHAT’S INSIDE THE BOX?

Can I guess what’s in there? The most recent Marillion Christmas fan club release, perhaps?

Nope they always come before Dec 25 so you don’t have to wait a year to enjoy them. See below for the big reveal!

Ha! Good ol’ Royal Mail. When I finally post of that annual I’ll make sure to write ‘not via Thailand’ on the packaging!

And I like this new feature even more, great way to kick off a Sunday morning!

Well you know, if they didn’t send it right in the first place, maybe CAPSLOCK is what did it right :)

Hey Mike: did you ever review this set? Fallen down the Marillo rabbit hole and Marbles is heading towards the very top of my favs list. Would be interesting to get your take on the making of CD…. -john
