Due to a complete fuck up, a day of hell and I'll admit a lapse in concentration on my part my kindle is in the lost and found department of Dublin airport. The long story is far more exciting.

It says on the website that they post stuff out .
After a delightful phone call they told me " oh no, no bud, that's a mistake "
Mistake my hole.
I live in Cork! What a pack of hoors. They told me for my convenience I can nominate someone to get it for me! Arrggghhh.
As I no longer a part of the jet set my list of friends constantly flying in and out has diminished. Actually I don't think I ever was in the jet set.

Balls. I am peeved.

Fast way couriers no?

Unfortunately that's not an option as they would then have to pack the item.
It's a massive pain in the hole. The only upside it that it's mine and not a thing belonging to the kids.

Do you know anyone in Dublin that could run out to the airport and pick it up, post it over to you then? I'm in the Wesht so can't be of help, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately no but thank you!

Something similar happened to us with a phone charger we left in a car we hired when in England.
They called to ask if we wanted to call round and pick it up. I told them I lived in Northern Ireland and wasn't planning on going to Luton. Awkward silence and he just say's "er, do you want us to give it charity?". Aye you do that.


My glasses were in the hall upstairs last night and I thought, I'm going to forget they're there, so put them somewhere safe. Can't remember where the hell I put them for safety. Damn.

I left a bag of lps in Bristol Airport last year. Got in contact and no joy until a few days later I got a message asking was it a bag of records with demons all over them  :laugh: Got them back when one of the lads was coming over.

An esteemed member of the board here has contacted me with a possible solution.
The galling issue is the fact that it clearly states on their website that an item can be posted for a fee.

I realise it's a pain in the hole for them if they have to start that carry on but still. Amyway. We shall see.

Quoting EU law at lads trying to tell me I've only a year to declare my TV as faulty. Still they're saying they'll have to ring me again in the morning. Jobsworth mofos I'll bum the bastards

Three years is my understanding. If it's defective or breaks down you're entitled to a repair, replacement or refund.

I really appreciate the offer and if I had a way of doing that I'd take you up on it immediately. Thanks for your help but alas it's not to be.

No worries. If anything changes be sure to pm me.
