My insanely intelligent and wonderful friend @bngr had an idea.
She was inspired by Kenny Egan telling the story of how, as part of his new found fame, he was getting mail these days even if it was only addressed to “Kenny Egan, The Boxer”.
So she thought she’d try an experiment of her own.
It just arrived in my work postbox today…

I want one to get to me at
Raptureponies
The Internet
That’s awesome
That is BRILLIANT. Am officially jealous.
I can’t believe it actually made it’s way to you. What other ways could we screw with An Post?
George Lee – The miserable one.
Ryan Tubridy – The Gobshite
Brian Cowen – The Gobshite
Enda Kenny – The Gobshite
It could get confusing. It will never take off
LOL, My nan once got a letter from my cousin in Boston.
Granny Ryan & Cortez the Dog
Mullingar
(We had a boxer called Cortez, that was not a nickname for my Grandad before anyone starts)
Elf…
Applauds!! Love it!
OMG! We all posted a comment at EXACTLY the same moment.
Weird.
That’s fantastic.
@Lottie
Would this help?
The Miserable one, The News
The Gobshite, Radio 1
The Big Gobshite, Leinster House
The Gobshite in a blue shirt, Leinster House
Elf
Brilliant!
I wonder if I stuck a picture of a plank on an envelope would it find it’s way to a certain person in Montrose ????
ha, I love it. My boyfriend has received mail addressed to him at his home town but no actual house address.
Fair play An Post.
LOL. That’s hilarious. It’s abruptness simply adds to it.
SO if you post a letter to
Phil
The North
I will get it the very next day.
I’ve love it if I received a letter addressed to:
I aim to please.
Somehow adding “The Radio” is funnier than just the name, which probably would have made it too.
WIN
Nice one mon capitain
She’s smart that way, bngr. I guess this is the same principle as’Santa Claus, North Pole’.
Brilliant.
My god that’s genius.
I reckon that Elf’s comment is the funniest blog comment I’ve read in ages. Made funnier by the fact that I know who each one is!!
Most excellent. I love it!
BRILLIANT. Adding “the radio” is especially funny. Ah, BNGR you’re a total leg-end.
You know it’s pretty surprising of An Post to do something right for once.
Haha I love it, brilliant!
My friends did that for me when they were in the Gaeltacht, minus any addresses. All was fine, the letter got home… but it was addressed to my Dad. Who opened it. And read all about the girls ag shift-ail in Colaiste Lurgan. That was a maturing moment for me.
great for ego 😛
Brilliant! I wonder if An Post have a department for all of those type of letters?
Probably in the same box as the letters to Santa and God 😀
Am sending off my “Raptureponies, The Internet” letter as we speak…
guaranteed if it were sent from here, it would come back return to sender… even when we have the correct info including city, province, country and postal code (and its only across town its going) it ends up in Montreal at the main sorting station for Canada post and gets lost for 2 freaking months before finally coming back all blackened with machine ink and chewed up!
i’d love someone in Dub to send me a letter – donna in canada 🙂
Gas how yiz all had so much entertainment out of this. It’s just one of those stupid little things I do to pass the time.
The possibilities for this are endless…..
would a level up from this be to write @rickoshea on an envelope? Now I’m curious..
That’s deadly. I swear I saw it before now and didn’t go on a week-long blog break. Hmm! Bngr is a hero. I miss posting things. D’ya want more post?
