# I have devised an intelligence test for my postman...

# Hahahaha!
Ace.

I've always wanted to try addressing a letter purely by GPS co-ordinates but I don't have a GPS unit to find out where my house is.

I've always wondered what the smallest thing you can send through the post is, could you write an address on the back of a stamp?

# he will fail
as he is a cunt and an ex con.

Related story: I lost my phone at t in the park but it was kindly handed into the lost property and I eventually got it back a week later. To my horror however, when I got it back, I found that the first 15 or so people in my phone book had received texts saying "I love you, want to come round to mine for a fuck?". All those texts were received when it would have been in the sorting office. Cunts.

It would've been easier to for me to take if anyone had actually responded in the positive.

# This is ace
reminds me of the time me and my friend got hold of a blank postcard (white on both sides) so we stamped and addressed both sides, one to me and one to him, then waited and saw where it ended up.

It came straight to me, so I put it back in the postbox and it came right back to me (even though the stamp had already been stamped). After the fourth time I got it back in the post we gave up.
