R1 want YOU in Ibiza!! For a chance to go to Ibiza from 31 July 2008 until 4th August 2008, you have to send in a good old-fashioned postcard with your name, daytime 'phone number, and answer to this question:

"Last year, Pete Tong had to do a forfeit during R1's Ibiza weekend. What was he handcuffed to?".

The postcard must arrive by 1800 hours on the 24th July '08!! You must be over 18, and in possession of a valid passport! :-)

Radio 1,
London,
W1N 4DJ

How about if someone removes your testicles with a blunt scythe and roasts them over a large fire. Although, if you don't admit that you're head over heels in love with Satan and all his little wizards, someone will hold you upside down in a vat of warm marmalade...AND remove your testicles with a blunt scythe.

Sounds like the kind of thing your tour operator would organise while you're in Ibiza.

Well in that case, I love Satan.

Why is London the only place in the UK that has that letter in the middle of the numbers? Every postcode in the UK follows the same pattern - 1 or two letters, followed by 1 or two numbers, followed by a number and two letters.

I'm guessing it's compass based like the rest of London. So this one would be West 1 North, 4DJ. But is that the same as NW1 4DJ? Are they interchangeable?

As I was writing that post I was trying to work out the regex in my head! :lol:

I was wondering about that - have they gotten that post code on purpose or is it just coincidence?

I know it's impossible to tailor your own postcode. Which I guess answers the question. It's been a long day.

I'll take the offer of a tea and sit down, though!

Have a seat, a cup of tea and a wee think about that.



Then come back and tell us the answer.

Hahaha.. brilliant.

No.. the answer is that it's no * coincidence.

So you're saying that they did make their own post code?
You confuse me.

They would have requested it from Royal Mail I imagine, they may even have paid for it.

It's impossible to tailor your own postcode, but not that of large businesses that receive enough mail to warrant their own postcode anyway. Look at the DVLA, or the postcode for Egg (DE99 3GG)

Hmmm, that would definitely inconweenience you, wouldn't it?
