This Group celebtrates Boring, ordinary, dull, commercial Postcards that feature aspects of our everyday life – such as streets, roads, houses -- and are, in a strange way, interesting because they are so uninteresting. Join in and share your Postcards of our Boring world.

From time to time we have outbreaks of whether a Postcard is Boring, or not.“Yes it is”. “No it isn''t.”“All Postcards are Boring.” “All Postcards are interesting”.And so on, and so forth.So, LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENTAnnouncingINTERESTING…Continue

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)
County Fermanagh is actually an awesome place to live near. And visit. But this postcard, ugh. First of all, there are lots of ticks here. That long grass is a no-no. This child should be in long sleeves, long pants and smothered in tick repellent. As for the flip side. I think it speaks for itself. No one wants AI in a postcard.
PS...my main reason for posting, if anyone wants this postcard (fortunately I only have one), I will send it to you.
TWO BORING POSTCARDS OF HOLIDAY INNS, FROM PETER WILSON -- who writes "I cannot imagine that receiving these would make the recipient want to visit either of them". Anyway, THANKS, PETER!
1. Holiday Inn of Cleveland East, Ohio, USA
Peter says that this is in a 'pretty awful neighborhood', and wonders if the Holiday Inn still exists. I don't think it does. But when it did it offered "Swimming Pool -- Air-conditioned (air-conditioned what?) -- Restaurant -- Free TV -- Free Hoiday Reservations".
Sadly they couldn't afford a photographer, and this is a not very good drawing of the Inn.
(Aside on the Inn's "Free TV". There was once a pub in England that had a board outside offering "FREE SEX EVERY NIGHT" in big capitals. On closer inspection there were some important very small letters added to it, viz: "FREE wifi SEXually seperated toilets EVERY NIGHT open until 23.45)
2. Holiday Inn of Duluth, Minn, USA
This one -- oh dear, another drawing -- offers "TV and Radio in every room [including the bathroom?] -- Beautiful Cocktail Lounge [as opposed to an Ugly Capital Lounge? Oh dear again, I've got the Holiday Inn Capital Letter Fever] -- Indoor Swimming Pool"
THANK YOU CLEMENTINA CADERA FOR THIS BORING POSTCARD OF SORENBERG, SWITZERLAND
'Here's aBoring Postcard of a village where tourism made all the houses look pretty much the same', says Clementina
Reminds me of the 'Little Boxes song, of which here is the first verse:
