F is for...
Finally!
Now children, gather round for a story.
Once upon a time I really wanted a Mind the Gap shirt. I knew someone who was going to London, so I asked him to get me one. And he did... but it was too small. So small, that even were I to become anorexic and lose 50 pounds, it would still be fitted because the shirt was smaller than my ribcage. It was a BIG disappointment. Or, rather, a small disappointment. ;)
Over the summer one of my coworkers went to London, and I asked him to bring me back a shirt, but unfortunately he didn't have time to pick one up.
Well, just a couple of weeks ago I learned that Tania was going to London, and asked her to pick me up a Mind the Gap shirt. And she did, and today it arrived in the mail. Nine months after the original request I finally have my shirt. It's really a short sleeve "junior" fit, but since it's freezing today I'm wearing a long sleeve black shirt under it. :)

*sniggers* very wonderful shirt... now, what would you be interested in for the smaller, anorexic one?? me small! me like strange shirts!
Great shirt, and a very nice picture of you to go with it. Next time you need anything from London (more jaffa cakes?) let me know - I've got a couple of visitors coming over here in the next few months.
I'm glad your story has a happy ending!
I was at the BART (local public trans. train) station and they have a sign that says, "Pay Attention to the Gap" and there's a little stick figured man hunched over looking at the gap.
