CityLink Silliness

So I'm sitting here whiling away my morning waiting for my presents (to myself) to arrive from the lovely boys at scan.

I'm tracking it through CityLink's tracker thingy and I see:

07:50 Thursday, October 16, 2008 Goods loaded onto a van

Damnit, I wanted them delivered by pidgeon or camel or something. a VAN? that's just boring.

[jem]

Class when the man comes say to him O i thought it was comming by pidgeon lol

[TAKTAK]

you never know... he may use a canon... how else do things get so damaged

[Salazaar]

Frankly I'm disappointed, I hear FedEx are using rickshaws pulled by small herds of llamas.

I'm waiting for mine to arrive by helicopter. Not a normal one, by Chinook or something. Why can't Lee deliver them in the Skyline or something!?!?

You know what would be cool is if they delivered stuff by portals.

Delivery guy comes and fires 1 portal into where you want the goods and then a chap at the other end in the depot passes your stuff through.

[Mossy]

All your minds are warped!

seems a bit in-efficient TBH...

why not just send the parcels with the portal guy?

[Stringent]

Don't want a portal guy. Portal GIRL ... now we talking. LOL!

[tiggerai]

no, no.... just a bit hungover and awaiting my pressies.

Just made me chuckle.

Now about that portal Idea... could we have a warehouse operator duplicator so that I might finally get an order picked without a delayed order notification? And you would think by now that they would EXPECT the UNEXPECTED volumes in the warehouse... coz I do!

[TAKTAK]

why not just chuck in a free pizza at delivery time

You guys must have enough techno-jiggery-pokery knocking around, surely you could build a portal gun A-Team style?

[tiggerai]

I know... next time I put an order onto scan... I'm gonna phone up and let them know to expect that there will be unexpected volumes in the warehouse that night... so they can get some more peeps!

You don't have to thank me, all part of the service.

Guys I'm pulling your legs. In a bit of a silly mood today

Funny I thought most couriers used my stuff as replacements for there lunch time football/rugby ball.

And carrier pigeons would be awesome, that'd be an interesting sight dozens of pigeons on the horizon lugging a huge scan box of goodies.
