I remember my brother used to enjoy sending me spuriously addressed letters, sometimes in envelopes with damning company names printed on the outside (he used to get his office staff to do it for him), knowing full well they had to go to a sorting office and I had to pick them up from the secretary.

I also remember one girl sending me a jiffy envelope full of rice pudding. I never did understand why.

 lol lol lol

I'm lucky my colleague called in sick today, because if he hadn't, I would have had to explain why I was (failing at) attempting to keep in my laughter while reading this and 'the other ' thread. But as it is, I've got the office to myself and the guys down the hallway probably think I've been suppressing a coughing fit...  :D

Brilliantly played good sir!  8)

Even though it's a whole other type of mail terror, I couldn't help but think about the times I used those free trial subscriptions that come in the mail to pester my friends with embarrassing products like adult diapers or sex toy catalogues. Completely anonymous and even more fun when the recipient was still living with his parents (granted; this was 20 years ago... ::) ).
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Wow, just realized, after the tripod episode, I still have Thunder's address somewhere. Even if he's moved, it'll follow him, I'm sure.

Now, knowing how Royal Mail is now treating cross-pond missives, the possibilities...

Nah, April 1st has already passed.

Now, mayhaps, next year...

Thanks to the good Dr. for getting my attention in the Bazar!
