I imagine that would be similar to me when I visit the US and buy dozens of books which I then have to get home. Often I ship a large box of them home and it's never cost me less than $200. You have no such thing as sea mail or surface mail any more which is why it's so expensive.

I regularly get books from amazon.com shipped to Australia and find that with our dollar high it works out a lot cheaper even with the postage (which for a small text book might be 10-15 US dollars). The books have always arrived quickly (about 2-3 weeks) and as promised. One example is an audiology textbook that I bought from Amazon. In Australia it would have been $110 Australian. I bought it on Amazon and it cost about $70 Australian including postage. Books are just crazily priced in Australia (particularly the less popular books). Great show. It is a big adjustment having a new family member. Just take your time with the show and do it when you can. Kind Regards, Tim Gotta agree with Bernadette about the Dr Pepper but I disagree about the books.

Promise. Posting Dr Pepper to Australia will be prohibitively expensive - posting books costs A LOT (usually double the price of the book) and soda cans weigh a tonne. Besides it's an awful drink and we're trying to eradicate it from our island :) I love Oscar Wilde. So does Stephen Fry and in episode 3 of his podcast he gives a great summation of why Wilde was so fabulous http://www.stephenfry.com/podcasts/. It's worth a listen (I also love Stephen Fry). Now I must go kill myself as I like neither comics nor games and, apparently, have no reason to live. Bye. No long diatribes this week. Promise.
