I am bored. Help me prank my friend.

No i don't have anything better to do. Yes I am childish.

That said me and my best friend have a long running game where we like to prank each other. Very small scale stuff. Most recently this has taken the form of sending each other postcards from wherever we are with daft messages on them.

It started when i went on holiday and sent her a postcard as promised. Then she went away and forgot to send me one. So the next time i was away (not anywhere vaguely exciting) i sent her a narky one bemoaning my lack of postcards. Then she bombarded me with daft cards saying how much she loved me and was my bestest ever friend.

Now I'm stuck. What can I do or send her.....

I know mn is full of evil geniuses (genii?)...please help me Grin

Brilliant! Mine was the bat one - I though the rather frightening looking bat would add to confusion!!

Three more postcards have arrived:

  1. Nigel is searching for Britain's rarest bat. Caves largely cold, wet and full of webs. Wonders if he left his fungal foot powder. Fernando said hi.

  2. Nigel is in Edinburgh. He has been to the castle which was 'expensive', gave it 6 out of 10. Asks if he left his colander. Hamish said hi.

  3. Nigel is in Preston. He has visited the bus station which he thought was 'erotic' and gave it an impressive 11 out of 10. Wonders if he left his false teeth. Barry said hi.

Also thank you for further offers to send postcards but i think i'll see how many make it of the ones sent so far.

Hilarious. Apocalypse how many do you expect to arrive (how many PMs have you sent)?

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 03/09/2014 20:18

PM me if you want another card sent.

hotfuzzra · 03/09/2014 17:50

I've sent mine today. Love this idea so much!

I am so proud my Nigel is the star of this prank. Do let me know if you need any more postcards sent. I missed the boat with the first batch!

Oh god...this is too funny. Just had a phonecall from my friend. She has received a postcard from Herefordshire (I think). It had a pile of pebbles on the front. Nigel had been to the town centre which was 'small' (he gave it 4 out of 10). Nigel also wondered if he left his penis extender at her house. Dennis said hi.

I can't stop laughing. She thought it was hilarious and it's only the first one. She is now phoning her mum to tell her about it.

Surround her front door with cups of water whilst she is out. A flat mate did this to me whilst I was in bed asleep once. Took me ages to leave the room!

squaretoes · 02/09/2014 10:57

That was my reaction, why, just why?!? Although, not to give anything away about the truly exciting place I live, said bus station is a listed building!!

ThisFenceIsComfy · 01/09/2014 21:02

Mine goes tomorrow or Wednesday depending on when I can get to the library. Oh yes my postcard is so boring, I buy it from a library.

Please PM me the address - this is fantastic! I'll send postcard tomorrow - I have a particularly boring attraction in my village that I'm sure will have just as shitty interesting postcards.

I can't wait for Janet and Roy Grin

Sent, I found a truly brilliant postcard of our local bus station!!

Just dropped it in the postbox - greetings from Edinburgh! Should be with your friend tomorrow, let the confusion commence.
