Postman: The Hero!

Car in FloodYou’ve probably heard of the recent flood in UK, and i’m sure you’ve heard of the latest Harry Potter Book release!

Last Saturday(Book’s release date) all the deliveries in Worcestershire’s (central Britain) post office were canceled because of the flood but Richard Yates(Postman) whose own daughter had been eagerly waiting for the final Harry Potter book, heroically filled his van with pre-ordered copies of “Deathly Hallows” and delivered them to all the harry potter fans in the area in spite of the flood everywhere!

One of the fans who got his copy from Richard Yates said:

We had seen the floodwater and all the post vans outside the main post office earlier in the day and were resigned to not getting the copy. but, about an hour later, a 4×4 came up the drive and out got this chap with a big grin on his face and explained what he was doing.

He’s a blessing and should not be forgotten about on Christmas time.

The Queen should knight him!

for all the disparaging remarks about today’s workforce this should be viewed with pride

A champion of character without question.

Someone needs to give this god soul a medal!!

Or alternatively tried and executed for delivering such a rampant pile of self indulgent tripe to an unsuspecting public.

wow jack, lets be more cynical and dissident, some guy does a nice thing for a bunch of people, without being asked (as far as we know anyway.) and you just have to find some negative in it and ruin it for everyone. congratulations, you suck.

There you have a really nice guy. too few of them around these days.
I’m not a fan of harry potter, but if someone had done this for me when if i where waiting for a Wheel of Time book, i’d love them for the rest of my life ;)

Risking your life for a bunch of book deliveries is stupid. It’s not like he saved anyone’s life.

Jack you are a grade A a****** and a fine example of why I no longer live in the UK. Trying to deal with people of your mentality made me realise that I and my family are better off not living anywhere where your mentality exists.

ps, hats off to that postman

I’m glad to see that. It makes me happy and gives me confidence in today.

I’m thinking that Jack should be the one getting the medal. Congratulations to the postman for having the balls to finish his route, regardless the conditions, but should he be risking his life to deliver a bunch of over hyped, half baked crap to desperate (and slightly pathetic) fanboys (and fangirls)? No. Of course not. Be reasonable. Jack for the win, congratulations for standing up for the small wedge of people who have not been caught up into J.K. Rowling’ hype machine.
By the way: What makes you think that he comes from the UK? There are awesome people in every country.

To all the Harry Potter sheeple out there: discover some REAL literature. Have you any idea how pathetically devoid of free will you look, sat on the train in your suit and tie reading a book for children? Conned by the greatest marketing machine of the century so far into eagerly awaiting J K Rowling’s formulaic, middle-class ideals espousing tripe and helping Bloomsbury become fat at the expense of intellectual nourishment. What happens when you finish this (supposedly) last installment in this banal series? Wait for Richard & Judy’s book club so you can read what every other corporate drone is reading? You make me sick, every last one of you, perpetuating this culture of mediocrity, who can locate this pap in any bookstore, but would be hard pressed to find any TRUE works of great literature. And this post-man is simply another mendacious cretin sucked in by the lies, who truly deserved to be swept away by the waters with the waste of paper that this ‘book’ is.

Thanks Lemming,Harry,
To the rest of you,
get your heads out of your asses and read some REAL books…what the hell,read some FANTASY books(GOOD ones) instead of the meanderings of slushy nonsense you are force fed by PR machines.
I was gonna give a list of authors,but the people who are worth it would know.
The rest of you aren’t worth it.
By the way,before one or more of you have a go,
I’m a bibliophile(look it up if you don’t know)and read about 8-10 full sized books a week,I tried(in vain)to get into the hairy snotter books,
but unlike most of you,I can discriminate between literature and crap.enjoy your drivel. :)
