Hey, the same goes here.  Offhand, I can think of about 2 people outside 
of work that I will just hang out with - and they're my immediate 
family.  I'll occasionally have lunch with one of my instructors or 
coworkers at lunch.  Very occasionally, I'll get together with the 
neighbors across the alley from us, or the ones next door to us.

You're not in the US ordering from a.co.uk, though.  When I order from 
Amazon US, delivery time is just fine - but from the UK, it takes a while 
longer.
