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

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.

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

kelper · 04/09/2014 17:18

This thread is genius, have nominated it for classics!!! I wish i had a friend i could do this with!

ApocalypseNowt · 04/09/2014 18:33

Thank you kelper! I shall be your friend based mainly around childish pranks and pisstaking.

I think more may have arrived. She just sent me a text with this sort of emoticon on it --> Hmm

Update:

Nigel has visited the silver cock roundabout at Dorking. It was 'overrated' and he gave it 1 out of 10. He wonders if he left his silver cock at my friend's house. Pablo said 'Hola'.

AlpacaPicnic · 04/09/2014 22:12

I sent mine today! Would you like to wait for her reaction, or shall I post the photo I took of the back and front of the postcard? yes, I am that sad

ToAvoidConversation · 04/09/2014 22:17

This is a hilarious thread. Nigel gets about a bit doesn't he??

SaggyAndLucy · 04/09/2014 22:23

No! The anticipation is half the fun! Grin

WowserBowser · 04/09/2014 22:37

What a brilliant idea! Love it.

Fissawissa · 04/09/2014 23:00

Great idea Grin would love to do something similar with my parents!

CelibacyCakeAndElevatorMuzac · 04/09/2014 23:28

Haha, brilliant thread! I want a friend like you OP.

I so want to Janet and Roy my parents but I'm terrible at keeping jokes going, I dissolve into giggles and give it away

ApocalypseNowt · 05/09/2014 07:48

Yay! Sounds like more are on the way.

Friend is coming round on Saturday if she's still speaking to me. Hoping she will bring all the postcards. I will take photos and post them. Am especially looking forward to seeing a confused bat.

ApocalypseNowt · 05/09/2014 13:44

Thank you CelibacyCakeAndElevatorMuzac (love the name btw). Of course you can be my friend! Great childish minds think alike.

Cheers ThisFenceIsComfy - I almost wish i'd got you all to send me the cards....I'm getting a bit jealous of my friend with all her lovely weird post!

This is so funny, wish I had got here earlier!

Cat is it on Chat where the Janet and Roy matching happens? I would love to set this up for my DH this year.

plipplops · 05/09/2014 18:21

I'd like to Janet and Roy as well please? Marking my place here to hopefully not miss it...

SuburbanCrofter · 05/09/2014 22:15
