This is the 3rd time within a week they've stopped all train traffic on a station because of a suspicious package. Bah.

Had a couple of teeth out, not complaining about any pain, but damn the modern painkillers dentists use, seem designed to knock out a camel; I'd prefer some pain and less of this shitty feeling/numbness.   :(

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Apparently an Arabian couple got on a Malmø-bound train, left a package inside and left. "Did you put it in the correct position" - said the woman, "Yes." said the man.

Somewhere in Malmø a woman is waiting for a train wherein she expects a package will be in the 2nd wagon on the shelf to the right, as agreed upon with her Danish friends. I'm assuming.

Don't you guys have UPS or something? :lol:

It was a car battery and windscreen wipers. And we do, but this is free. The massive fine they can expect probably exceeds the UPS bill though. :P

At least it wasn't a antique clock. A ticking box would be even more off putting :D

What the world coming to, Arabs can't even leave packages with batteries unattended on the train.  :(

Good batteries can be expensive, so can be good wipers.

If they're skipping on postage I doubt they went high end :D

UPS sucks here in Austria. In the past years they only had two places to pick up packages if they missed you: on the far Southern outskirts, or at the airport (half an hour outside Vienna).

They've added more pick up shops it seems, but the one where they deposited my package recently was open Mo-Fr 9-6 (which I can't make due to work) and closed on Saturdays. When I noticed it was already too late to give an alternative delivery address and the package was on its return voyage.

All other (non-mail) package services drop off their deliveries at small shops, usually run by immigrants who won't speak your language besides "hi", "bye" and asking for ID, but at least they'll be open till 8pm and on weekends. :P
