The post man's been - who done it special?

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Gwyn the post delivered a surprise package to the Towers this morning. I'll refrain from telling you what the contents were for the moment. However, in an effort to work out which generous soul might have sent it, there's a couple of questions I'd like answering if you have a minute.

1/ Do you or have you ever thought of me as a 'hipster' ironically or otherwise?

2/ Do you consider me to be generally grumpy?

3/ Do you see a strong feminine side in my character?

Thank you.

1: Yes.
2: Yes, but it's in a charismatic sort of way. :lol:
3: Hmm... no. Not so much.

I've only met you the once but
1. Bearded Bikepacker. Definitely hipsteresque.
2. I suspect it's only a thin veneer of grumpiness covering a mantle of warm and gentle fluffiness.
3. I don't know. Do you cry at the end of movies? Nibble the topping off twixes?
Stop, pick and sniff flowers?

Although I'm still not really any the wiser as to whence this package came, I would like to formally thank whoever did send it - 'twas very kind, thank you.

I would now like to introduce the rest of you to Raph@'s newest 'poster boy' who in this instance, is dressed in a fine, figure hugging Raph@ merino baselayer and matching cap.

Oi Tony ... you can only get away with this look if you're secure in your sexuality and in touch with your feminine side :wink:

Looks to me as though R@pha are doing a bit of guerilla marketing as in if all else fails, send some stuff to a gorilla. Seems to have worked, given a few tries you'll be a convert, to what though the mind boggles :o

I assume the filter on the photo is for ironic purposes?
