Curry is coming in hot

A DHL customer living in East Africa ordered his favourite curry from a European restaurant every week last year and the courier delivered it to him. "It was a standing order," said the company's spokesman, Megan Collinicos.

Other odd deliveries included South African pole vaulter Cheyne Rahme's six-metre pole for the Africa Senior Championships in Morocco in August last year, which was not allowed on his flight. DHL delivered it just a few hours before Rahme competed and won gold.
