Deborah writes: "Ii my life was a postcard this is the one it would be. not very far from where I live these cows (not these exact cows) graze by the banks of Lough McNean. the almost too tranquilness captured in this boring postcard depicts the actual 'vibe' of life in rural Ireland. you can fall asleep looking at it. you can fall asleep looking at it. you can fall asleeee....zzzz"
"TYPICALLY CORSICAN" BORING POSTCARDS (from 1966)
1. THE YOUNG ONES: BUT HOW MANY -- 2, 3 OR 4?Well, it says that they are "typical", but it's not clear if that's a reference to the people and/or the donkeys.
Anyway, Corsica is "An oasis of beauty".
2. THE OLDER ONES -- BUT NOW WE ARE DOWN TO 2 OR 3
BORING JUKEBOX POSTCARD -- BOUGHT IN PARIS, BY HELEEN: MAILED IN AMSTELVEEN, THE NETHERLANDS, BY HELEEN: TO VAL, IN SIGEAN, FRANCE
Heleen writes, "I - as usual [shame on you, Heleen!] -- don't think this card boring, but it seems as if the ladies overleaf are kind of bored, so someoneor something (maybe life?) must have been boring to them."
BEDANKT, HELEEN!
(PS, I have about 800 7 inch vinyl records, 700 12 inch vinyl LPS, 700 cassettes, 1 old portable record player, but, alas, no jukebox. I don't have a single piece of digital or analogue music.)
Thanks Deborah, I'll take your word that Co Fermanagh is awesome to live n. lease send e the postcard, if no-one else has already claimed it. As to AI on the reverse of the card, well our BPs are almost all of the front of the cards, so AI doesn't come into this. I am 'NS' = Naturally Stupid°(People usually send me the Boring Postcards that they find, I group them together where possible and suitable, and put them up here on the site. Merci: VMH, 1 rue de la Vieille Fontaine, 11130 SIGEAN, France, who ooks forward to receiving more BPs from you)
