... or an eBay version. That would really get in the way of
those closing-seconds bids, for ridiculous amounts, for stuff not even
worthy of the term "beerloom". So I understand.

And one for Ebay would be *bloody* handy. While slightly clareted the
other night, I bought a new indicator to replace the crakced and glued
one on the Duke. After clicking "confirm bid", I then remembered that
(a) I'd bought a left-hand indicator when it's the right-hand one
that's cracked and (b) I'd bought a new replacement a year ago and
hadn't got around to fitting it.

I emailed the seller and shamefacedly confessed my error, and asked if
he wouldn't mind cancelling the bid, but if I won it I'd stand by my
word and cough up. Which I did.

Perhaps it would be more fun if it refused to send them until morning,
but then you had to answer the questions in the time to stop them being
sent...

I agree with other posters suggesting an Ebay version, and would also like
to add, a version that works on phones - for both txting, and somehow,
talking.
