These are just going to get stolen.....

... it's probably an offence that would get you on death row if convicted - tampering with US Postal Service equipment, but I have to confess if I saw one of these on the street I would steal it!

Postboxes across the US are to be dressed up as Star Wars robot R2-D2 to celebrate 30 years since the release of the sci-fi series' first outing.

400 boxes will get the new look, including outside Hollywood's Grauman Chinese Theatre, one of first cinemas to screen the film in 1977.

Comic Relief.....

... Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin sing.

I have bought the video & song on iTunes already, I urge you to do the same, it is a classic.

It will be #1 next week on downloads alone, and deserves to be, not just for the good cause, but for the fact that it is comic genius!

Blair also goes up in my estimation by about 100%, to have the piss taken out of him by Catherine Tate in that way was just brilliant.
