My favourite was the one addressed simply “Gobshites”, with no further details.

It was successfully and correctly delivered to the Dáil (the lower house of the Irish parliament).

I wonder how they determined it was for that pack of gobshites, and not the band[1]. Penmanship? Cheery stamp?

Attitude? I’d imagine a fan would be more careful with the address. Someone who addresses a letter with “Gobshites” is likely pissed off at something.
