Hmm, my copy of Chicken Run arrived from Blackstar this morning and it was
only processed on Wednesday morning. Given that I've got Postman Prat
delivering my mail[2], this is a miracle. Two days in the reverse direction
might be doable too.


[1] Printed faintly on the top of the invoice is the number 976097149. That
    looks kinda familiar to this Unix user...:

    bash-2.03$ perl -e 'die scalar localtime 976097149'
    Wed Dec  6 10:05:49 2000 at -e line 1.

[2] The other two bits of mail that arrived today were dated 24/11/00 and
    29/11/00, for example.
