This is a question Procrastination

Outlook is a wonderful tool, but not when it keeps reminding you that it is now 96 weeks since you were supposed to finish a report you haven't even started yet.

Just how lazy are you? How long will you put off the essential or the inevitable? What do you fill the time with?

(We're too lazy to write something funny here. You do it.)

Hey....
whoever let the truth get in the way of a perfectly good story?

Not me, certainly!

Me too
It required a bit of "Colombo Detective Work". I knew the street and house number (I used to live in the same street) so simply presented a piece of paper with that on it and a smudged post code and asked "Mr soandso gave me his address, I can't read the post code though" and bingo.

As you can see, really far more effort than it was worth!

Fail
If you lived in the same street, your postcode would be the same as his. If you knew his house number there'd be no need to go to reception and enquire...

Good original story though, exactly the sort of procrastination I'm renowned for. As chickenlady says there's no point letting facts get in the way of a good one!

I guess
I'll follow my own advice in future and think of better lies! Tis true except for obtaining the address (teacher had actually given it to me before the summer for the specific purpose of posting it over the holidays). A sort of embellishment dressing over a story salad.

Postcodes
are different for opposite sides of the road.

words... is your sig a Prodigy reference?

I thought
Your postcode pinpoints you to within about 10 houses. I do know that long roads have plenty on the same side of the road.
