Russell Brand: 'I was a postman for sex'

Russell Brand became a postman for three weeks before becoming a comedian because he thought women would want to have early morning sex with him when he delivered their post.

Russell Brand became a postman to try and bed women.

The 38-year-old former sex addict claims he was a mail man for three weeks and took the job because he thought it would give him a good opportunity to try and chat up women when he delivered their letters.

Speaking on 'The Late Show with David Letterman', he explained: ''I was a mail manfor a little while - it didn't go well.

''In my mind there's a cultural illusion that this is an opportunity for early morning conjugal activity. I thought the housewives would open the door with a gesture to the nether regions. It turns out it's not a window for sex. They just want the letters basically.
''I thought as a mail man, sex would be everywhere for me. Simply not true. It was series of doors being closed in my face.''

After realising being a postman didn't come with the added bonus of casual sex, the comedian resorted to stealing mail.
He said: ''It was a zero per cent success rate so I just resorted to stealing letters. It was the only way to cheer myself up. The money's not very good so you're not incentivised to not steal the letters.''

The star - who divorced Katy Perry in 2012 - recently claimed he was trying to be more ''discerning'' about who he sleeps with and attempting to calm down his sexual obsessions.

He explained: ''I'm calming down a bit. I'm a bit less likely to just relentlessly hurl myself into a troth full of parts, you know, sex parts. Now I try and be a bit more discerning about what goes on.''

Thief and a scab.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

He used to write a football column in the Guardian and despite the fact he was/is a West Ham(?) fan, it was cultured, erudite and very very funny.
I miss it.
But apart from that he is a total prick.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Brand is a fantasist.
Many of his depictions of his early life have turned out to be less than honest,It wouldn't surprise me if the "thieving postie" story was another.
He still writes for the Guardian occasionally but not about football.
I find his writing style sciolistic,dilettantish and not very funny at all.
And he's a total prick.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

That's the reason why I joined RM many moons again but was promptly put off when a fat, tattooed baldy guy came to the door to sign something completely naked. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Think he'll have to carry some Bonio's around with him, for some of the sights I've seen early mornings!!

Mind you, some of the Yummy Mummy's do make up for it.

Sexist rant over and out....

What a knob.
But then, he always has been.
Though, in his defence, I will say he is very good at it.

Anyone reading this thread would think that trade unionists are fundamentalist puritans with no sense of humour. Russell Brand made a joke that highlighted the fact the pay is not very good and some of you are still not happy, you miserable sods.

Russell Brand has a lot of fans and if they now all believe that postal wages are too low, he has helped.
