We're all pretty 'special' in this forum!

I choose to interpret that as a positive thing! ;)

Wow.

What an incredible journey!

It makes Jasper Carrot's Dave the cardboard box adventures seem dull (does anyone remember that sketch?)

If that mug could talk, I'm sure it would have a great tale to tell. :lol:

I do remember Dave the cardboard box, but now wondering if the cardboard box the mug arrived in was called Dave!!

About 10 years ago, I was shipped a parcel from the States, and it vanished off tracking for a couple of weeks. When it finally arrived, I kid you not, it had a rubber stamp on the box that said, "MISDIRECTED TO MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA". I found both journey, and the fact that such a stamp actually exists, hilarious.

@rubber_jonnie Very nice... I'm almost jealous. Not of the mug or pen (got both of those) but the CosmosEx on the MegaSTE!
