What is your home address? I have several acquaintances in a small
select Army group over in the Republic of Ireland who take exception to
your including Ireland as part of Britain, and want to send you a small
package.
Oh, please ignore the ticking!

(A Postal Inspector once told me that a lot of people think that a
package may be a bomb before they open it (the survivors that is). His
advice - if you think it may be a bomb, it probably is - don't open it!!)
