A question to you, Leon.

[fsn]

On the 1st June, I ordered twice from Pendraken. Both orders approximately the same value. One ordered at 8 am, the second at 10:30pm. The first arrived a week ago, and yet of the second there is no sign.

Hmmm. What could explain this? 

1. The obvious answer is some kind of time dilation effect that impacted sometime between the two orders being placed.   
2. I've been forgotten 
3. Something in my order is ... unusual 
4. Everyone at Pendraken went on holiday at noon on 1st June, and hasn't come back yet. 
5. Leon wants my anticipation to be extended. 
6. The first order was super-speedily despatched 
7. There was a huge number of orders placed between my two orders which have caused a huge backlog 
8. I've been the lucky 1,000,000th customer and my order is being gold plated 

I'm still thinking 1. is the most likely.

[Leon]

It's actually a mix of 3 & 6, with a bit of 5 thrown in for fun...

The orders at this end are split up, as different ranges are cast by different people.  Dave looks after most of the 20th C stuff, and then me, Stuart and Alan take care of the rest.  With the first order being all ACW stuff, I passed it straight over to Alan (who likes his ACW!) and it got done pretty quickly.  The second order, being WWII, was in Dave's pile and took a while longer to work it's way up to the top.

The good news is that it's all done, and is sat on the side now waiting to be packaged up.  Apologies for the delay on it.

I think Leon is just thinking of your blood pressure.  

Last time you received two orders on the same day your level of excitement nearly reached critical levels.  

So Leon is perhaps pacing you, and only releasing orders when he feels you will be ready for them...

No need for apologies, Sir! I am in no way upset, merely curious.

'tis true! Pendraken, is a caring master of our lives (we that are harnessed to the Pendraken chariot). There is no caprice or cruelty in the drip, drip, dripping of orders, merely benevolent despotism.

Did Leon make you say that?

Did Leon make you say that?

Leon is our friend. Leon is wise. Leon is the provider of Pendraken goodliness. Leon promises eternal happiness and Centurions!

We are all happy when Leon is happy.

That's Comrade Chairman Leon to you.

I'm at the age now where Wargames company executives are looking ever so young!!!

[Techno]

Wargames executives ?

HAH !!

I remember well, when two young police ladies puled up next to me in their car and asked if I knew where 'such and such' an address was. (Next door)
I was SO close to asking them if they were sure they were old enough to drive.....They both looked about fourteen.....Honestly !
That's when I REALLY felt old.

Cheers - Phil.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

But Phil YOU are OLD !! Mind you so am I.

Sad, isn't it Ian ?

[GordonY]

Sad? No, I'd hate to be a teenager in the world we have today, very little prospect of a long term job with decent pay, as much chance of buying your first home as of winning the lottery. When I was their age my pay packet would have bought me (after deductions) approximatly 400 pints (of beer) I'd hate to think what you'd have to be earning these days to have that kind of disposable income.

Wasn't it Shaw who said "youth is wasted on the young".

Is that my botox injection, nurse....

I can't read this thread title without thinking of The Specials 'Message To You Rudy!'

I certainly didn't - GBS may have - no relation.
