Poland... nah! close enough!

Quite intresting. Thanks for the link.
Things like this mean a great deal to me, as they serve to remind me of my roots, and now I know even more about them.

Thanks! 8)

Did you try out each glass individually?

Granted it is in Poland, but at least you know where it is. My new kilt was shipped from them on Tuesday, but the tracking has not been updated for just over 48 hours (since 1 am Glasgow time on the 8th - I suspect that they no longer track once it in on its way to the US, but am unsure). However, Parcelforce's web site says that the delivery for where I live should only be 3 working days, so hopefully I'll get it tomorow. Keep your fingers crossed (my luck it is in Poland with yours).

This isn't quite the same thing, and I hope it doesn't seem like I'm hijacking ackwell's thread, but I do think it is slightly related. My cousin and I enlisted in the navy on the same day. I was allowed to delay leaving for boot camp for 30 days to finish out a semester in college while he left the following Monday. I arrived at Great Lakes a month after he did. Neither of us knew where the other was on the base, but, we did have mailing addresses for each other. Shortly after I got there, my cousin sent me a letter. I received it nearly 3 years later when my ship returned from a Med cruise. It had so many post marks on it that I couldn't read some of them. The Ironic thing was that when he sent the letter we were quartered in opposite ends of the same building.

Yeah, and the the first and third epistles of Paul to the Corinthians are still somewhere in the Poste Italiane ;)

Mine is still in limbo. It has finally left the international hub (according to their web site), funny thing the time it says is left is 09:55 on 12/13/05 and as it is only about 23:30 on 12/12/05 in Glasgow right now, I wonder where Postalforce's hub is (I'm thinking Guam, the time would be about right). So much for International Datapost service only taking 3 days (according to them).

John M., those are some awesome shot glasses! I wish I had a set of those for my port (I know, it should be enjoyed in a snifter, but those really are some great glasses)!

You can buy Niva shot glasses from eBay. And other great Iittala products too. I recommend collecting the "Ultima Thule" collection (also designed by Tapio Wirkkala) It is his most sold serie of all time, designed at 60's still in production.

ScottishKilts.net has worked for my order really hard. Last that I know is that ParcelForce would return the parcel to them before last friday and they should have sent it to me via UPS right away. I think that SK.net didn't get it on time because they still haven't phoned me... they sent the parcel out (first time) 2 weeks ago!
