Lucky you, I have several thousand people living in between me, and the exchange, which is on the other side of the city; I love the DVD because I like to have a collection of different distros I can try out, and I cant download them, due to lack of bandwith :( I need the DVDs ;) P.S. just subscribed and got the stickers instead of the promised mug - I'm not amused, but I still got it for 15p a quarter cheaper than the new subscription offers with the stickers.
