ORIGINAL: stellauk I admit that I want to join the Mujahadeen or go and live in a cave in Afghanistan, even if it's somewhere shared with the Taliban... I've missed an appointment to see a renal specialist because I didn't get the letter. Well I did get the letter, but I didn't see it. Not because I am blind. But because for the last two months it's been wedged up in the top right hand corner of my mailbox. The same mailbox down by the front door of our apartment block which this morning has yielded, one 'handy sized' Yellow Pages directory, one free local council magazine, three leaflets from estate agents, one polling card for some election on May 5 (missed it), two free newspapers, four cards from minicab companies and about a dozen leaflets from pizza delivery companies. Taped in large blue letters on my letter box is a sign saying 'No junk mail please'. Now I want to live in a cave, I want sandbags, and I want a tripod on which to mount an AK-47 with more than a few rounds of ammunition. When I see someone with a pile of Yellow Pages directories it's going to be ta-ta-ta-ta-ta and as for the people from any pizza delivery place it's going to be KABOOM!!! Gone. I mean, what do I have to do here? Come up perhaps with a more communicative sign such as.. If you are NOT the postmanFUCK OFF!!!! Would this make it any clearer?     I admit I feel for you stella...when you keep wondering at times "which part of NO did you not understand"? I admit I have seen here some of those polling cards but I can't take part on those elections and gosh would I have loved to support the AV system I admit back home companies can get legally sued if they still drop their junk mail in your postbox (don't remember the paragraph, but we have one) when you clearly don't want it...making it quite effective to have your peace about it. I admit time to get going now need to get 7 boring applications out of the way before taking a break to finish off my nephews easter pressies..cause if I don't attend those and post them on the 15th then he won't get it on time for easter this year
