a couple of weeks ago i bought a pair of gloves off ebay, for wearing on the bike. they were coming from the US and the guy told me they'd take 10 working days to get to me.

anyway, today was working day no. 11, so i sat down to write the guy an email asking WTF was going on. i wrote "<blah... blah...> today is the eleventh working day and still no sign of the..." and i had was just about to type the "G" in "gloves" when the postie stuck them through the letterbox.

how spooky is that?

I reckon you're glad it went down that way. I mean, you could have typed your meany email and sent it off. Then, five minutes later you get your gloves and you look like an ass. But, now you look like a very patient person, you'll give positive feedback to the seller, and in return karma repays you by making you a king in your next life. Everyone wins, it's oh-SAM!
