  • Its called eBay, and you are supposed to BID!!

    I am quite a well respected seller on eBay, i have brill feedback and im in the top 5000 reviewers – so you could say im a  seasoned eBay veteran.

    I know what to write when selling something, and i no what to ask when buying.

    So from time to time friends ask me to sell things for them on eBay, as im quite good at getting a good price for stuff. A mate of mine has recently asked me to sell his motorbike for him, and boy o boy have i had to deal with some muppets.

    First off, the description of the bike was well detailed, it told when the bike was serviced, what was done, and when it was done, whats been changed, bla bla  bla. There were about 20 detailed photos, and  more info you could shake a stick at. Auction started at 1500 quid, obviously no reserve set as it didn’t say the word reserve anywhere. Local pickup preferred, nearby local delivery possible at additional cost.

    The first question i get, is;

    “Hi mate what condition is the bike in, and is it a runner”

    What the fudge? Have you read the description? Have you looked at the 20 detailed photos?

    Second question;

    “how much would it be to deliver to Edinburgh”

    How the fuck do i know? Do you expect me to waste my time finding out? Are you buying the bike, or am i?

    At this point we had a bidder, so 1 bid @ 1500 – bangin.

    Next question;

    “how much is the reserve/buy it now price”

    There isn’t one. obviously. Or it would say reserve not met/reserve met and have a buy it now button on my auction.

    Another question;

    “hi do you still have the bike and where is Mansfield”

    Well, the fucking auction is still running – do motorbikes have a habit of blowing away in the wind?

    Same person;

    “ok what do you want to end the auction can i view it tomorrow morning”

    The auction had ONE day left, so i simply said if you want it please bid on it.

    Same person again

    “so can i come see it tomorrow then”

    Yes, if you win the auction.

    If you want to buy something, then visit a shop. eBay is an ONLINE AUCTION SITE!

    Sheesh.

  • Madeleine McCann – All but forgotten?

    It was nearly 2 years ago that a little girl called Madeleine McCann was reported to of gone missing whilst on holiday with family in portugal.

    As soon as the story came  out I  had my doubts about the story the public were being told, it hurt me to think it but i had a feeling the parents knew more than they were letting on and i started sharing my views with the world.

    I keep an eye on my stats and ever since i started blogging about her, the hits and people finding me through looking for Maddy on google is staggering. The newspapers may of stopped printing her name, the TV doesnt show her face every 5 minutes any more, but the public are still looking for her. They are still curious to know her whereabouts and still want her found safe – even though i think most of us know that is never going to happen.

  • Osgood Schlatters Disease

    Thats right folks, im diseased!

    Ive had a pain in my knee for a while now, and i finally got round to going to the doctors and having an xray etc. The results came in, and my doctor from the oak tree surgery in mansfield told me jack schitt as usual – i told my girlfriend what the doctor said and she asked some of the awesome doctors at her work who told her that my symptoms mean i have Osgood Schlatters Disease.

    It is;  “A disease of the growth and degeneration of the tibial tuberosity”

    Or in other words; “A disease under my knee cap that grows then dies, then grows then dies and gets worse from exercise”

    Apparently there is nothing they can do, i jsut have to wait and let it get better. I have been told not to run when i go to the gym 🙁 i will have to get my cardio fix another way 🙂

  • RBS are a bunch of fucking losers

    Bank Charges. I honestly thought i had seen the back of them, i had not received a charge for ages and it felt great! We had a problem with a customer paying us which meant we didnt get paid when we thought we would do, and this meant a few bills of mine got missed and RBS stuck their fucking claws in as soon as they had the chance to..

    £495 charges in ONE MONTH!

    How in fuck’s name is anyone supposed to sort their finances out with banks taking nearly FIVE HUNDRED QUID off you in one month. I barely earn five-fucking -hundred quid a month, and they have taken it off me in charges.

    Apparently the bank charge refund shit has been put on hold until the bank bosses and courts have finished touching children, i did notice the fucking cnuts are still TAKING the charges, they have just put refunding them on hold – funny that isnt it?

    Why anyone needs a court and a bunch of pricks in suits to figure out £495 in ONE MONTH in charges is unlawful. Its fucking criminal and downright fucking scandalous, never mind unlawful!

    I spoke to someone in customer services and managed to get £228 back, im gonna ring my branch tomorrow to see if i can get any more refunded.

    For anyone wanting to ring RBS then their head office/customer relations/support/switchboard phone number is 01315 568 555.

    Im moving all my banking services to HSBC as we have our business banking there and they look after us a little bit better.

    I STRONGLY recommend EVERYONE to move their shit away from RBS – they are going down the panl and they are not taking my money with the,. Their desperate situation has resulted in them being unlawful and total bastards towards their customers.

    Easty shit and die you fucks.
