Hey Guys,

Do we have any movement on this? Would be good to be able to send my things to saddle_tramp sometime before Crimbo!

Yep sorry, Ive got the stuff together, Ill be able to buy packaging tommorrow so hopefully send it thursday. Ive had a hectic week of starting college, commuting and (probably) quitting so it had to take the back burner till I sorted things out.

 

[firecrest]

Ok its packed and ready for off! Im just attatching it to the pigeon now...

 

[ncarvajal]

Shameless Bump.

Carrier pigeon arrive safely?

So is it a mystery package to the next on the list?
I got the impression from the OP that a package or item is offered and whoever wants it speaks up before posting something else to pass on. This way it seems like a fair few people might be getting things they don't need that someone else could make use of.

Obviously since I'm not involved it's probably none of my business - but I did think the original idea was a bit better than the list of people getting random stuff.

Just a thought - either way though - nice idea. Sort of like Freecycle (now Realcycle I think) with an obligation to give as well as take.

That was my inital plan BS - it will be clearer in the Mk2 version!

 

[maddave]

Nearly my turn...I'm getting all excited Nearly got my stuff ready for ncarvajal Woohooo

 

[BigShot]

Well there's a good chance I'll end up getting involved in that one.

I wonder if there's a way to allow several people to offer at once or if it'd be best to keep it to one offer - one taker per time.

 

[g4ghb]

I think one at a time - will be easier to keep track of

All being well i'll start it in a few days - I need to take some pic's first

 

[scanker]

Can you explain a bit clearer what this did turn into Graham? I know I've got my name down, but I've read the thread a few times and I'm still not sure what's happening?

I get the impression there's a list of names. Let's use these for example...

1 = Alan
2 = Babs
3 = Charlie
4 = Dora
5 = Eric

1st Alan sends Babs some stuff.
Then Babs sends something to Charlie
When Charlie has recieved something from Babs he sends something to Dora...
and finally when Dora has recieved her gift she sends one on to Eric.

So rather than people claiming what's on offer then offering something - it's a bit of a mystery.

I suppose it's sort of like a secret santa.


EDIT
I can't help thinking the names I've chosen there make me look a LOT older than I am. Haha.

Bingo !!

 

[scanker]

That's sort of what I thought. Are the packages unrelated, or are people taking from / adding to the original package?

 

[saddle_tramp]

i cant speak for others, but whatever ncarvajal sends me, i shall treasure, and wouldnt dream of simply sending on to the next in line. (tho there was a folding poncho doing the rounds earlier in the thread lol) i have no idea what i may get, but i already have your goodies prepared scanker, just waiting for my turn

 

[Tadpole]

Ah I was thinking it was like a postal geo-cache, you take out something you find useful, you put in something you hope others may find useful and you send it on.

 

[firecrest]

I sent mine on to Natg the day I last posted on this thread, and he recieved it so not sure where we up to now.

 

[BigShot]

Tadpole - that's not a bad idea though.


maddave - not bad for a quick scan read eh? Haha.
I'll pat myself on the back for that.

Hi Dingo, are you not recieving from greg and sending to RM (now Salix)?

 

[Dingo]

hi bodge

was unaware that RM180 had changed his name to salix, and as for greg i haven't received anything so i thought i'd best just carry on, perhaps lost in the post!

i will contact Salix and take it from there, if there is no response it looks like you'll bee the lucky recipient.

Adam.
