Those 20 objects are quite interesting. I remember seeing the motorcycle helmet Chris wore in ‘89 and the animals in action illustration is interesting - their first ‘collaboration’ together.

I like this sort of feature, it's the kind of deep dive you don't get with most groups. Imagine what storage must cost!

Yeah, I do. Keeps the bread frozen and put them in the toaster

I understand keeping bread in the freezer - to keep it frozen. I freeze bread. But keeping bread in the fridge is new to me.

I've read that the only time it makes sense to put bread in the fridge is when you take it out of the freezer to defrost. The bread will taste better than when you immediately put it on the kitchen counter after getting it out of the freezer.

I'm guessing either Neil or Chris store their bread in the fridge according to Annually?

I hate bread out of the fridge. I mainly have wholemeal or sourdough loaves, or failing those, super seeded (which often, sorry to say, disguise nutritionally defecient factory loaves). I keep my bread in a bread bin and have bread or toast most mornings and sometimes use slices towards another meal too.

Anyway each to his own, but quite surprised that both Neil and Chris keep bread in their fridges!

I haven’t got my Annually copy yet, but it’s an American thing to keep everything (bread, eggs, samples of ketchup & mayo packs etc) in the fridge …as a former scientist all the bio & chemical samples were always frozen even for a few hours to prolong lifespan!

What about eggs and chocolate?

Oh, here we go... Went to view my order status yesterday and it says "This link has expired. Please contact the sender of the email for more information." I think the US store has had a little reorganization since the end of February and now I can't even see where to login and check. Haven't received any messages yet to say it's on the way but technically it says it ships tomorrow.

Anyone else buy one from the US store? (*cracks knuckles and prepares to type sternly worded email to a hapless WMG minion*)

LOL on that last sentence, ordered from US too and looking forward to a raised blood pressure from berating a minion who doesn’t have a clue who PSB even is!

Same. I found the login page (there's a menu in the upper right corner of the FAQ page) but I still can't find Order Status. I don't get why our release date is later too. Should have stuck with the international shipping from the UK store.

Came here to ask the same. I ordered from the US store and would be comforted to have received a Shipped notice, or at least to be able to see my order. Very strange not to be able to see order history, the way I still can on the UK store.

It had been a long time since I was able to log into the US store and I had been doing all my business with the UK store. I was glad to be able to reconnect with the US store when I tried in December and ordered the yearbook. Hope I'll be reassured before too long. And that everyone else gets their US orders, too.

There seems to have been a format change in the US store for which I have submitted a question to IT. I am unable to log in but can log in to the UK store (I have 2 separate accounts...it's a long story). I haven't heard back from them yet.
On a positive note the US store states that Annually will ship on 17 April.
That's all I know.

I've wondered whether Neil and Chris do their own Supermarket shopping. I just can't imagine them doing a weekly "big shop" with their trolley up and down the aisles and can picture Chris getting utterly frustrated at self check out tills (although, don't we all with those..!)... I assume they may well get home deliveries...

Neil has mentioned shopping at Waitrose before.

As for Chris, how would anyone know if he shopped among them??

But yeah, home delivery must be preferable to encountering random fandom in the aisles going "Hello Neil! Out doing some S.H.O.PP.I.N.G. LOL?"
