    Mine is already on the way and it's a bit retro as it must be 30 or 40 years old or older. It was in my mother's postcard stash.

    Hugs!

  5. I just mailed mine 2 hours ago before I read this post but it complies with the rules, thank goodness! Alas, however, nothing gay or dirty about it, worse luck.

    1. Is your comment referring to the postcard competition, Gabs, or the comment that has appeared just above yours, referring to Mumbai escorts? (The classic car, I assume...)

  15. Best Scotch Egg postcard?
    Is this a unsubtle way of getting sent scotch eggs? They'll be a bit flat if they have to be postcard shape or am I overthinking this!

    To many MUSTs in the rules. You're asking people to send something you want therefore a few PLEASE's wouldn't go amiss!

    Could you please clarify on the dirty category? I am not sure if wiping my arse on a previously blank postcard would be acceptable or welcome

  20. What a great idea.......we have seemingly lost the art of hand written notes, postcards, letters, pretty much everything.

  21. Well! I missed the point that this was a contest and there would be rules. My postcard is already on its way and all I had time to do was add my return address before I dropped it in the mailbox.

  22. Unfortunately someone has been playing the " pissing on chips " game and anonymously leaving negative comments that many, understandably have thought as ursulas doing.
    Ursula has emailed me stating this is not the case.
    From now on to stop further misunderstanding no anonymous messages will be accepted on Going Gently for a while.
    This will be lifted as and when people can play nicely xx

  24. Why is it that Anonymouses are almost always assholes?
    I've just discovered your postcard challenge this morning (Jan31) as I've been internet-challenged of late, but have had to make myself a second cup of coffee and a bowl of Cream of Wheat while I finish looking at them. Fabulous! -Kate
