So we got back from a weeks holiday last night and a box had arrived 2 days after we left. (22nd)

Its from Guiness for the rugby world cup to help maximise sales. Only the bloody thing says on it.

"to maximise your sales, open this by 31st August 2007"

Now thats great marketing on its own isnt it, here have this 3 weeks late.

Anyway, not that i really care no one likes rugby here anyway so its all going to be e-bayed

Window poster, bunting, police tape, inflatable pints, bar runners, t-shirts, drip mats, 25 rugby gloves, 15 head/wrist/finger bands, 20 rugby shaped stress balls, 10 pairs of socks, 70 key rings and 70 badges.

going to cost me a fortune isnt it if i start sending out random people bits and bobs.

Give me a good reason to and i might well waste a stamp on you...on the other hand i do have thousands of pre stamped envelopes so costs aint a problem.

SO, yes give me a good reason and i may well send you one...email is in profile for addresses btw, i aint promising anyone one or anything, just might send a couple or something depends how FM treats me this weekend
