Hello there.
I wish to utterly confuse my parents
I need one postcard, from as many different coutries as possible, in 3 weeks.
My plan:
You read this thread and go "My, thats a good idea, I'll help UCOF!"
You send me ANY postcard from where you live (preferably with the name of the country or something equally as distinguishable)
You send me the aforementioned postcard in an envelope to an address that I will specifiy by PM.
I write on postcard that arrives from you, and it send back to you.
You then post the postcard on, thus giving it a postmark from where you live.
Result: My parents are rather confused seeing as Im only suppposed to be visiting Australia and New Zealand
I sent them each one with "Antarctica" written on today
Obviously, this is going to cost you the price of the stamp to Australia, then to the UK, and the postcard price. Anyone got any ideas how I can reimburse you?
Or do you fancy just being generous? 
Anyone?

that sounds like a brilliantly devious, hilarious & confusing idea!!
if i wasn't in australia already (with you less than an hour away!), i would help you out with that! ooh - i might be able to get you one from japan?!
i'll work on that... do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!

I might just have one that I can send you that came from the Blackbeard museum on Ocrakoke Island, NC! Interested?
Otherwise, I *could* pick one up that would just be from NC itself....maybe Raleigh!!

Written by: My mum in an email
Hope you are enjoying New Zealand and getting to see some of the sights that we are currently seeing on the adverts to visit NZ. Talking of television I was watching Planet Earth on BBC and they were looking at the North and South Poles and commenting on how close Antartica is to Australia and NZ. They were saying how people take flights to see the magnificent icy scenery but ironically global warming was having a real impact on the north and south poles. It makes finding the balance quite difficult perhaps we will have to put up with one film crew recording the sights and making do with the pictures. I don't expect you were planning to fly that distance to see the sights when there appears to be quite a few on your current doorstep.
I guess the postcard from Antarctica hasnt arrived yet!
