I just went to the Tour of Britain website to get Hubby Bubba a t-shirt (it's never too early to Christmas shop) there are no t-shirts for 2008... only racing shirts. Like I'm going to spend £40 for a racing jersey...

Well... so then I went to the Tour of Ireland website to get an Irish Tour T-shirt... they are lovely. The shirt was $18.00 with a $5.00 handling charge. OK... I can do that. But then when I went to check out... they want $76.00 to ship it to me.

From IRELAND????
