No problem. There's no charge for this service. Please contact Phil Cook

Right now because I'm talking to you.  5 AM now.

Today's the 4th of July here, so I don't have to work today.

The one I ordered a birthday card from Zazzle for but which hasn't 
turned up yet... :-S

Seriously, Zazzle boasts that you can have your order within 24 hours, 
but that's only actually true if you line in North America. For the rest 
of the world... it takes rather a long time. :-( I wish they would set 
up a facility somewhere in mainland Europe...

Ah, I see.  There are so many Jamies' in the world.  But hey, it sounds 
like you've got at least *one* friend.  Actually, though, I know you have 
more than that. ;-)

Seems a lot of companies operate that way.  We have a similar experience 
when ordering DVDs from amazon.co.uk as well.

And not just DVDs (hit send too soon).  Just got a copy of the Uxbridge 
English Dictionary, and it (actually surprisingly because we ordered from 
a US site) also was sent via Royal Mail from the UK.

And I kinda promised that if I ever have children... well, there'll be 
*another* Jamie in the world. ;-)

Meh. There are people I sometimes speak to on teh interwebs. But human 
beings that I can actually go hang out with? Now that's a tiny list. :-(
