WooHoo

Oh those crazy Brits.

I always receive live critters Air Freight and pick it up at the airport.

The Royal Mail must go through!

So this thread could not be sent in the post ? Pity.

Reminds me of that one episode of Oz a few years back...that guy mailing hands of children to the father.

Gave me the jibblies.

Was it Jesse James' mummified hand? In a jar?

Beer to the first one that gets it.

A few years ago, a masonary company found that it was cheaper to send their cinder blocks via UPS one at a time than in bulk with a freight truck. The UPS delivery guys weren't pleased.

"But once we had this packet and it was stinking the place out. When they opened it up, it was a putrid salmon. Somebody had caught a salmon fresh, wrapped it up and posted it to his mate. It was sitting for three weeks in the delivery office uncollected."

Should have used UPS Next Day Air Early A.M.®, it's "Guaranteed by 8:00 A.M. -- Next Day".

If your on vacation and don't want to waste money on post, don't put an address and make the return address where you actually want the letter to go.

Spince - Sam & Max Hit the Road! Greatest farking game ever! Where's my beer?

Did you know they're making a sequel?

Heh, this is the main Royal Mail building where I live in Belfast. People used to send letter bombs all the time - I remember one story when this guy made a letter bomb but left it on the kitchen table. His girlfriend came home and opened it. BOOM. Trip to casualty.
Now they just use punishment beatings which is either 2 bullets through the knees or ankles or some serious baseball bat action all over. [A few months ago a guy was nailed to a fence - his family said they didnt know why he was targeted but it turned out he was stealing cars all over the neighbourhood]

Dead Letter Office - excellent album

Tea anyone?

No dead things in the post? No things in the post, more like.

I sent a 12kg parcel in the box a wide-screen TV stand came in (i.e. 1 metre by .5 metre-ish) via Royal Mail's Parcel Force/Farce and the little darlings have lost it. I wish it had a stinking fish in it. Or maybe not. It was full of Christmas presents:(

"I would also prefer that people didn't send anything dead in the post"

Well, that goes without saying...

You get used to so many different things coming through. I suppose there are strange things. You get a lot of underwear.

Uhhhh.....
