So, I was watching Channel 4 news and saw the interview Christian Guru-Murthy did with Richard Ayoade (Moss in the IT Crowd). Some background and interview here[^]. I started thinking why is he being such as d**k, until they got to the point of him representing the Norwegian community & I twigged what was going on. The interview is a semi parody of a previous interview with Quentin Tarantino[^] - where Tarantino wanted to plug Django Unchained whilst not providing the payback of actually answering serious questions.
Fast forward to this morning, listening to Radio 4 during my commute. Jake Chapman of The Chapman Brothers[^](viewer discretion advised) wants to plug an exhibition, but I'd guess he'd see Moss's interview. The guy's a modern artist, so you can now guess where the unintelligence bit comes in. First the interviewer says hello - to which where greeted with a scrunching noise. Eventually, interviewee replies, still eating "Sorry I'm eating my cornflakes, it's a bit early in the morning for and artist" (it is 8:40am) - Wow, so radical, much hillarious, very commentary &c. &c. &c. Not. Within seconds I got so irritated by his "aren't I clever and out-there (on Radio 4 for god's sake)" schtick I switched off. I switched back on when I thought it would be safe - it wasn't. The interviewer did the "your exhibition on at venue X between dates Y and Z" bit, and followed with "what can we expect to see?". He absolutely refused to answer saying people should go themselves - all very fine, but it is in Taunton which is where you being to run out of South and West to go. He wouldn't even describe the "themes" of the exhibition as "he doesn't want to explain the meaning of his work because it is too complicated". Given the interview he just gave I suspect he can't explain his work because it is essentially meaningless.
tl;dr:
Moss from the IT crowd Parodies interview where Tarantino behaved fairly badly.
Artist too thick to do a copycat interview - should go back to serving fries with that.

Well! He wanted to plug his expo, so he tricked you into your rant, didn't he!
Tricked me too. Shrewd fellow, that is where the art lies.

But, you left out telling us exactly what time you brushed-and-flossed, and how long it took you to fall asleep; that's why you got a "B+," and not an "A."

This isn´t correct, but the only reason I know this, is because I never ordered such a thing...
The order number is a real one from my account, but for a different item. The link and the email address look correct to me.
Just a plain old error from amazon or something else?
Well, I´m waiting for my refund

I'd guess an error from Amazon: if it includes your legitimate shipping address then it needs some access to your data, so it's them or one of their "partners".
I'd check my bank account and see if a large sum came out recently!

I would not click any Link on the message.
To check whatever you need to check I would go for a normal login in an extra browser session to amazon and then going to "your purchases"

Did you get the thing you actually ordered? Maybe some fanboi is waiting for his cover!
Amazon seems to be in brain fart mode. My wife ordered some viola strings (not from Amazon). She received a different set of viola strings from Amazon which she swears she never ordered and she couldn't see any payment on her PayPal account.
A week later the correct strings showed up.
The questions raised are mind-boggling. Did she price up some strings on Amazon? Did the site she ordered from process through Amazon? Is someone somewhere else waiting on this set of strings? Is my wife unhinged (probably!)?
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

I dunno.
What is the etiquette for being a stalker? Do you have to move to "the creepy phase" after a set number of weeks? Is there a league, or a regulatory body that will step in and strike you off the Stalker List if you step out of line, or fail to fail a drugs test?
