I think it routed this one there because it's an unusual email address - it's my own domain, so I create email addresses that reflect organisations (e.g. [email protected]) so I can tell if they ever get leaked to spammers.Comment

So................
Walking home, and some young gentleman (hood up) on a bicycle swings in through the entrance of the all-night-petrol-station up the road, and swings back towards the sealed (but accessible via bicycle) entrance on the side road.
As I'm approaching the side road, another young gentleman on a bicycle (hood up, in case you hadn't guessed) swoops up the side road and confers with the first.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but the timing of this interaction was such that the second could have stopped just in front of me, and the first could have almost immediately placed himself just behind me... if they had so chosen.
And then, presumably, one-sided negotiations would have commenced
As I say, maybe I'm paranoid. Or maybe it's as the assistant manager at my local said the other week, when we were discussing the fact that muggers won't go for what looks like a difficult target. He said "I've seen you walking down the road, and you have a very determined stride!" (I don't know if he was deliberately quoting the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band track Shirt when he said this.)
I laughed and explained that I'm actually scared tulipless most of the time - but I also know that, if you look totally confident and determined, 99.9% of potential attackers will back off and wait for the next potential victim.
As to whether or not this explains this peculiar happening tonight, I do not know. Then again, it worked a treat with those wheely-bin idiots a while back - the problem is that one can never know how many times one hasn't been robbed because one steps out proudly and without (visibly apparent) fearComment
