Is it just me, or if you buy a lens described thus
"55 mm 0.45 X Macro Photographic Fish Eye Wide Angle Lens for Nikon D70"

Would you expect, having waited a week for the bloody thing to turn up,
to be able to attach it directly to a D70?

Yes (although the week probably does not come into it!)

Cos you can't, it has a thread on it.

And for the photography question,
Do I simply need one of these?

That is designed to allow a "normal" lens to be reversed - by mounting
it using it s filter mount thread. This gets you a macro capability with
most lenses but with the loss of any automatic control of things like
diaphragm and focus.
