An American cyclist who accidentally signed up for a cycle race in the "wrong Birmingham" decided to make the transatlantic trip anyway. John Hoopingarner, from Ohio, flew to the UK to take part in the 100-mile Velo Birmingham, after signing up to the event he thought was in Alabama. After realising his mistake, Mr Hoopingarner thought "well I made it this far, I may as well just go". Mr Hoopingarner said he hoped to repeat his mistake next year.

I had wanted the item today/tomorrow and it still hasn't even been posted despite ordering on Friday night. My thinking would be that at best, shipped Monday morning, arrive Tuesday/Wednesday. Or Process Monday morning, ship Tuesday and arrive Wednesday/Thursday. I paid about 30euro more than the product was selling at only a month ago (not on sale, they just jacked the price).
