In short there was a screw-up at his bank. For whatever reason his bank thought my cheque bounced, my bank said the cheque cleared, his bank said <em>"Oh no it didn't!"</em>, my bank quite predictably said, <em>"Oh yes it did!"</em> and the general intelligence level of the conversation from there only increased -- just like in all the best <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_and_Judy" rel="nofollow">Punch & Judy</a> shows. While it isn't very funny, not really, I've had half a dozen phone conversations with various officials at my bank, most of which can be fully summarised in the two sentences, <em>"Huh?"</em> and <em>"They did what?"</em> John tells me that the conversations his bank have been similarly philosophically impressive.

I’m sorry. We had no idea.

The games should be here in 3 days, or so says the US Postal Service, and I have nice pretty URLs to track the three boxes as they wend their ways across the countryside.

I've gratefully accepted John's offer. The games for USA customers shipped today! The games for foreign orders should be here Real Soon Now (an official technical term of the US Postal Service) and I'll get them sent out overseas PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick, an official term of the J C Lawrence house).</p> Winsome Games has kindly offered to send out the Essen Collection to USA buyers directly rather than having to send them here and me send them out in turn.
