    OK guys, an envelope from a phone company's arrived with a PAYG sim in the name of someone we've never heard of but our address and postcode.

    Could this be suspicious in any way? or have any negative consequences?

    just send it back to the phone company with "not known at this address" written on it.

    I wouldn't worry too much about it....

    I'm not fussed at all. Totally relaxed. OTOH, I didn't receive the SIM. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We started getting a lot of random phone-related mail once some flats were built along the road. They have our postcode and I think people just get lazy, or make assumptions - and having typed in their postcode they were choosing their flat number, when the list was actually selecting our house number.

    CK, the wee in a bag thing. Had that at a library I used to work at. Asked me if we had any toilets in the building, I said no, they didn't want to leave their free computer time and at the end of the day when clearing round there was a carrier bag with urine in. Thank goodness it wasn't childproof with holes in the bottom.

    Isn't ck in the same area? Maybe its the same person.

    I cannot help thinking being able to pee in a bag would be a useful skill.:o

    Men have a directional advantage iykwim, I feel our equipment leaves us somewhat lacking in the bag peeing stakes. As for the same person, could be. Alternatively in an alternative universe there's a Not Very Nice Thread where they are all members.

    It is when you are desperate for a pee with no where to go. It would make top three easily. I often find my self in this situation and in a not very nice thread i would tell about some of the funny ones.

    Only reason for penis envy imo....the ability to pee in a calm and natural manner in a wider variety of places.;):D
