101 things to do with OoP when it comes out/postcodes

Just a few ideas from a hardly-ever-posting poster:

31. Sell it on Ebay in a couple of months. Use proceeds to buy house 
in central London.

32. Compare with results of "infinite number of monkeys with infinite 
number of typewriters" experiment. (Apparently this is how Nancy 
Stouffer writes her books - just kidding.)

33. Take weekend off work to read it. (I've already booked the time 
off. Boss is less than joyful.)

34. Place multiple copies strategically about house (on ropes, in 
piles near doors, attached to light switch pulls, etc) in order to 
trap/injure any would-be burglars, bungling yet weirdly loveable, who 
may attempt to break into your house over the Christmas period. (I 
hope Chris Columbus isn't reading this. The movies are Macauley'd up 
enough as it is.) Ahem.

35. If you are a short Charms professor, stand on copies in order to 
see clearly over desk.

36. Papier mache.

37. Er... origami?

38. Er...

39. That's it.

40. Oh, you could read it again, I suppose.

On another note: As far as I'm aware, all of Cornwall has Plymouth 
postcodes (which start PL), even though Plymouth is pretty small, 
because nowhere in Cornwall is big enough to warrant getting its own 
postcode. Plymouth, by the way, is in Devon, not Cornwall.

Oh, and once a postcard made it to my Dad, despite being addressed 
to "Neil, Snooty Towers, Big house, Corner of the road off Mutley 
Plain, Cornwall, PL4". That would be in Plymouth, then. Daaah!

Thanks for listening to my babbling,
