I wondered what it was at first (so many items bought in the last few weeks) and when I opened it up I was gobsmacked. Why can't they use one of those photo - Please do not bend - envelopes. It would be a LOT cheaper  ::)

They probably realised who they were shipping to and didn't want an international incident CF.

I think a lot of postie's view "PHOTOGRAPHS DO NOT BEND" as an inaccurate statement of fact, rather than an instruction, to which their response is "Oh yes they do!"

I am sure an environment agency would like to see that picture.

Peace is a lie, there's only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

Certainly O.T.T for a comic, but ill take 'packaged so securely that it takes 10 minutes to open' any day.
Ive seen photos of an expensive 2000ad original art page crumpled almost beyond recognition, due to flimsy packaging. Shudder.

My computer died so I had to Frankenstein one together out of three old ones, re-format my drives and reinstall Windows. I've lost all my emails since April. I can't remember the name of that really useful little add-on that I like. Microsoft Update won't.

I broke my leg in three places playing footie nearly 2 years ago and it still ain't right. Just saying.

As for me: this is the busiest time of year. 3 week month, but 3 months of work = 80+ hour weeks. Working 8.30am - 3.00am today. Yay!
Lock up your spoons!

My 92 year old granddad gave us a big scare today. He had been up half the night coughing really bad not getting much sleep. He rang my mum saying he wasn't feeling too well. I took her round this morning. When he didn't answer the door I looked through the window and he was slumped in his chair. I was seconds from kicking the front door in when he got up and answered.
Doctor eventually came round and has put him on antibiotics for a chest infection. The blood he was coughing up was probably from all the hacking from his restless night.
He was very disoriented this morning but seem better now and wants to change his doctor as the one that came round is lovely. His words not mine.
