Re: Unexpected package

["Jamie Coles" <jcoles@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too received a package in a Jiffy bag this morning.

Turned out to be a travel clock which tells you the time in a whole manner of 
cities - including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York,
Honolulu, Madrid etc (useful for someone in Camberley, England!!)

And I am sure that the need to tell someone the time in Bangkok will crop up 
one day.

No manual or set up instructions - so I got the kids to set it up for me.

I must say it does have a nice opening up motion - almost like something from 
Star Wars - better than a bag which just lies there!!

I truly feel I am now part of the Nation - and if anyone wants to know the time 
in Bangkok - just let me know!!

Subject: Unexpected package


I just received a package I wasn't expecting.  I almost called our
security people to take away.  It did have a return address on it (PO
Box 500, Sunderland), but no other identifying info.  My co-workers were
saying things like, "Take it outside before you open it."

Then I had a sudden flash of memory or insight, and opened it to find:

My IBM eServer bike pack (or courier bag as I would call it) has
arrived!!!

Now I feel like a real citizen ;-)

Cheers,

Martin.
