Nah. They're synonymous. In fact, the -st suffix was added in Middle English for no good reason.

Yourst mum was added in middle English for no reason.
Yourst mum Bratwurst?

That just isn't right.

Today though I had an email letting me know there's a package due for delivery at my flat in Reykjavik. Not really in the mood today :(

It's a bit of a trek.
Judging from your avatar, mrak, your doppleganger is Trousers.
I've just had an email from debenhams confirming the purchase of a bag. The guys got the same name as me but lives in Glasgow.

Wow.. I think I'm part of the doppelganger crowd!
I sent this person a text message last night explaining that I'd received their email so they might want to change their details. I was nice and polite as you'd expect... Only for them to reply at 4 in the morning with the word "scum".

Charming!

Sounds like permission to cancel their order.
I've looked at that and it looks like the only way to cancel it is to return it when it arrives.

There must be something I can do...
How creative do you want to be? Advertising a terraced house for rent at 30% below market rate in a freesheet is a starter for 10
Contract debenhams saying that someone had fraudulently used you card.
Also, what a cunt!
Get a throwaway sum card and ring him every day at 4am

You have their address?

Send them a Bon Jovi cover. "You give Love Glaswegians a Bad Name"
Order a skip. Pizza. 100 pints of milk

Good afternoon Colin,

I am pleased to report that I received your letter today regarding Sponsorship for the Art Sale. At least we now know that you have the correct address, where the previous letter vanished to is anyone’s guess.

I’ll organise a cheque and forward that on for your attention.

Kind regards,

Andy
My dads name is Colin. Let me have the cheque and I'll cash it for you.

I see from the xboxone pics that your last name is Taylor. My dad was also called Colin Taylor. What a coincidence.
He gets around, that Colin Taylor, breeding nerds wherever he goes.

Play nicely with your brother.
But he started it! He looked at me funny.
You know we don't talk about his wonky eye! Go to your room!
Hnnnnh. So unfair!

Not really the sort of thing you want to send to the wrong person I guess.
More likely spam than mistaken identity, but I loved this email I got:

You have to reply to this.
Given my experience with Debenhams and trying to return something that you incorrectly received, I bid you good luck.

It appears you've started a cult.

Attached was a letter confirming that Russell Cuddihey has moved to Australia as of September 2016.

You will survive.

Dear Mr Cudding

Kaiser needs Flea Prevention

Our Records indicate that Kaiser is now due for flea and tick prevention. To prevent infestations occurring due to missed treatments we recommend you use flea and tick preventatives all year round. Don’t wait until your pet starts scratching, adult fleas lay up to 50 eggs per day.
Paralysis ticks are one of the biggest risks faced by Cairns pets. One bite from a paralysis tick can be fatal.
Don’t take the risk, call into one of our conveniently located clinics and pick up your prevention today.
If you have received this reminder by post can you please help us save the environment by providing us with your email address so that we can send your reminders electronically. Email us at [email protected]. Thank you.
