Awesome stuff you see on the internet

<p>Yeah I caught up on load of podcasts during a long walk on Sunday and they had the guy who came up with the concept interviewed. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A pom who basically got the shits after 10 years of having his stuff delivered to the wrong address. He started giving drivers GPS coordinates but one got two numbers transposed and delivered his goods to a site 200 miles away so he came up with this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently in 3rd world shanty towns the population now have smart phones and have adopted e-commerce big time. Issue is the delivery address - next to the chicken coop, right at the red lean to upstairs above the witch doctors, leave it with the old boy with no teeth and a Kalashnikov.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>UPS reckon this if widely adopted could save them US$1 mill/day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think its brilliant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The words are random but most people can find one that they can attach some meaning to - given they're 3m<sup>2 </sup> ​most properties will have a selection to choose from.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They have allocated all the longer words to ocean and arctic areas</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As an aside - anyone else getting a glitch when posting? Last few days when typing the words are (occasionally) randomly being spelled sdrawkcab</p> -
<p>so this is a walkway down to a Ferry on an Island off County Kerry</p>

<p>This genius decided to drive down to the pier in Dunquin which is a pedestrian only walkway! He wedged the jeep at the corner which means no one can access the pier this morning. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. he's been in the jeep all night!</p>

<p>Yep. Glitches when posting or quoting. Intermittently.</p> -
<p>won't even open sometimes. Server getting a fuck load of traffic due to the Olympics?</p>

<p>Or are we on the Australian Bureau of Statistics' server?</p>

<p>Going to go out on a limb and guess the bright spark in the Jeep was a tourist.</p>

<p>20 years ago my brother lost a bet on the s12. His forfeit was to take a furby like this one</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img src="http://www.theoldrobots.com/images56/Furby-29.JPG" alt="Furby-29.JPG"></p>
<p>with him on his upcoming 12 month round the world holiday and every night furby had to sleep by his head.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have photo's of furby from every continent except Antarctica and all the popular tourist places</p> -
