- justinclift 2y agoSounds like the IPv6 version of postcodes. ;)

- dghf 2y agoYeah, but Irish posties mean you don't actually need them. You can just put stuff like this on the envelopes: Your man Henderson That boy with the glasses who is doing a PhD up here at Queen's in Belfast. Buncrana Co.

- logifail 2y ago> Irish posties mean you don't actually need them I worked as a postie for a few weeks as a Christmas job when I was at Uni a looong time ago. My GF used to write to me regularly (yes, writing letters was a thing back then), we came up a nice scheme: instead of using my actual address she wrote to a made-up non-existant address but with a valid postcode ("501 Any Street, Town, AB1 1AB" on a street with only a dozen houses) that was in one of the streets I'd be sorting letters for/delivering to. Worked like a charm, would find her letter waiting for me in the pile to be sorted when I rocked up at the sorting office at 5am.
