There is something really nice about getting a honest-for-God letter. I got one a couple of weeks ago that I really do mean to replying to... but I'm not talking about that sort of snail mail. I'm talking about the Real Snail Mail.
This is a genius idea which involves attaching a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip to the shell of a snail. The RFID allows objects to communicate over short distances. Basically as a snail passes by one reader they pick up a message and when they come into range of another reader the message is trasmitted.
With Austin averaging 1.96 days per message it makes it faster than Royal Mail. Though Cecil is second class (3.26 days) and Muriel is like Canada Post in the Maritimes; nothing delivered yet!!
Thanks for the luck guys, will do my best!!
T&E - no, she does exist for there was a distinct lack of horsiness until the film started. I will admit, I had no reason to disbelieve her when she said she was from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania... but I suppose she could have been from Glasgow...
Miss Tickle - you have to like my use of the semi-colon in the last paragraph though and if you press that key on the left handside of the keyboard, the one with Caps Lock on it, you'll be able to write in lower case letters as well. If you go check you'll see it reads a lot easier.
