Fun Time - When Will The C2 FLE Reach Peteo?
How about some fun time?
There aren't even any prizes
Helix has posted the 2009 C2 FLE on it's cross Atlantic journey to Peteo in Arlington (VA) wherever that is. Anyway it's on our left as you look at a pink plastered map with us in the middle (and everywhere else, naturally).
What day, date and time (in Peteo's time) do you think it will be when he first claps eyes on it? I think Peteo is 5 hours behind us over there. We can go by his time and sort it out later. Bear in mind that time distance though.
Remember the time lost when my brilliant packaging will probably be ripped apart by the Feds thinking its drugs before charging our mate loads of dosh before repackaging it in an envelope and posting it on. Anyway we won't dwell on that bit because it might upset Peteo.
I'm going for Monday 27 August 18:34 (which would be for example 23:34 in Blighty).
Anyone up for it?

The weekend has begun in my house and I am 2 beers in so my mind is struggling to work around the question you are posing.
My guess is Wednesday 22nd at 1732.
Have a good weekend everyone

Re: Fun Time - When Will The C2 FLE Reach Peteo?
Haha fun. I should mention something for all of you bettin' types that will help you hone your guesses. Looks like it was sent as a Sign for package. This means that I'll not likely be able to collect it when they actually come to deliver on the first attempt since I'll probably be at work, so this means that I will need to drive myself to the post office the following morning. And once I get it, I won't be waiting until the afternoon to open it. So any guesses in the afternoon local time are probably going to be off the mark

Re: Fun Time - When Will The C2 FLE Reach Peteo?
I reckon the Scooter factor will get it to Arlington (VA) next Friday - whilst Peteo is working his butt off.
The post office trip will therefore be on Saturday morning so, assuming they open at 09:00 a.m, I think Peteo will already be sat on the doorstep, like a kid on Xmas morn, waiting for doors to open.
However, some piece of VA trailer trash (the equivalent of a UK giro drawing pikey chav) will have got there first - to cash in all the shrapnel they have earnt from washing windshields at the traffic lights. That will take 8 minutes for the cashier to count, followed by three minutes for Peteo to collect the box and walk back to the car and 5 minutes for him to break into Scooters excellent packaging.
So... it's 09:16 in the movie that's unfolding in my mind. Where's my beer gone

Fun Time - When Will The C2 FLE Reach Peteo?
I'm going to say Friday 24th at 13:07 local time. But, oh no, no one is home, it's gone back to the sorting office, to be redelivered Monday 27th at 9:43 local time.

Re: Fun Time - When Will The C2 FLE Reach Peteo?
Right then. Back from the pub and realised my earlier prediction was wrong. After a few delicious cold ones, I have come to the realisation that peteos watch will arrive when it is ready to be received. When that is will be decided by the postal and customs deities and they can do what the f**k they want with the package whilst in transit to the unified regions of the land of dreamsville.

Actually, my corner of VA is thankfully on the nicer side, so I'll be surprised if I'm delayed by trailer trash. I'll most likely just be delayed by the leisurely pace of the postal workers themselves.
