k-1 2005 dynamite!!

When Pablo went to Japan I asked him to do me a favour: I wanted him to record the 2005 k-1 Dynamite!! for me. So he did it. He bought a japanese videotape and put it in a japanese video recorder and sintonized a japanese TV channel and recorded the japanese fighting competition for me. It was so kind of him!! Then he came back to his house in iruña and I waited for him to send me the videotape. But he wanted something in return (he actually blackmailed me!): my dvd's of saint seiya. I agreed with him that I'd sent him the dvd and so he'd sent me the japanese videotape. But I am lazy and I didn't send anything... and so he didn't.

But I was anxious! I wanted to watch MY videotape! I waited for three long months until he gave up and sent it to me for free.

BUT NEVER, NEVER TRUST THE SPANISH POSTAL SERVICE.

Of course, as usual, they lost the package. Noone knew where the heck it could be. Maybe in Nepal, or in New Zealand, or maybe still in iruña´s post office. So I went several times to the post office in murcia to claim for it. Pablo also went to the post office in Iruña. We made a thousand phone calls to the national postal service headquarters in madrid... But noone offered us a solution. The package was lost and that is the way it was.

But, unexpectedly, eight weeks after that the package arrived to my home. "we're sorry, we know it has arrived far later than it should but finally here is it".

I was sweating. I run upstairs while unwrapping the package. I literally threw the videotape inside the video player and push the play button...

The funny thing after all is that japanese video tapes seem not to be compatible with european video players. Or maybe pablo doesn't know how to recognise the REC button if its marked with japanese characters. Maybe the magnetic bands were erased during the flight back... BUT THE FACT IS THAT I JUST CAN'T PLAY THE BLOODY VIDEOTAPE. RATS!
