And the bike came back, it feels like [gerund]great. I think it had got worse than I realised. Though I'm not sure what was *wrong*, I couldn't figure it out at the time and had to rush off before I could get a lowdown, it made getting anywhere annoying.

"Your Amazon.co.uk order[1]. We are sorry to report that the following items have been delayed." Yeah, I was expecting that. It's like watching a "File copying, time remaining" dialog.

I admit predicting the unpredictable is a great art. But for how many months does it have to be delayed before the algorithm can pick up on that? It basically doesn't exist. So why the optimism? [2] Start extrapolating, ok?

I don't want to say "I don't want it" because I *do*. If it were actually delivering ever, I'd be happy. But there isn't a "I don't believe you, I'm shopping second-hand" button :)

[1] Sorry M :)
[2] OK, I suspect there's a database entry "delivers in N weeks" that's human entered, so whenever it doesn't show up, that's the new estimate. It was rhetorical, ok?

I have a lot of sequels delivered!

People at work have started to notice I have a lot of books. I don't know why I should mind, but somehow I feel the need to justify it.
