Obviously you did not yet see my reply to DaraDorks flogging post!


I must have the opposite of being ambidextrous, can't type with either hand, yes I meant dork's flogging, mind you probably just an occupational hazard they can ignore for a week, spam somewhere else and return when the dust settles.

Probably got no interest in selling things just goes crusing board after board just like vanadls plastering thier graffiti everywhere as if we care what their tag means Razz
True Choo but we still have our flogging permits courtesy of Jeff

Great fun don't you think?
And Choo how did you know I use to breed Rottweilers?
Well I too must get ready for work.
Hi everybody,

You guys are SO funny..I looked at the board while I was at work - I really should know better by now Big Grin

Choo - My Rottweiller looks just like me (she's beautiful, HAHAHA) Rolling my eyes here.. Roll Eyes
And BTW your level of lunacy is just fine.

Pete - OMG I never saw you freak out before (shame on you Choo for reporting Sweet Pete)

Taz - What can I say..go get 'em tiger Eek
Go get em Tiger? I live for these moments! Kick A** and take names of Dum-Dums. Gee I wish Jeff would step in at least say hello to the asylum!
Hmm "do you think this post will make it to the New Year"
Wow far beyond and still kickin tail!
1907 posts and 15061 views!
Yup I do believe that we lunatics need our own platground!
PLEASE Jeff a chat area for us hardcore Auctiva supportes!
Hey there Taz,

Yep, almost 100 pages..whoo hooo Big Grin
I had my doubts we'd make it to New Years, this is great!

Choo FINALLY opened his eyes & tore himself away from Dr Who to join in (sorry Choo, couldnt resist) and now we have kbalona posting too. Even without the manic ravings of Miss S and ninth we're doing OK.

Uh-oh, they're gonna get me for that one Big Grin Eek Just kidding guys! Razz
Almost 100 pages Miss M and they said it could not last! Only 3.5 pages to go and we hit 100. By the way where is the Spider and the Fly? Hope not out buying acreage to spin a new web of destruction!
tis almost enough to keep up with this little corner of paradise and then to have to foray out into the ButtKickin zone more than my little heart can handle!
Let me at EM Jeff! I want to tear someone a new backside!
Cowboy hat and Boots ninth? I don't think so. Beat up Harley Ball Cap and an Aussie duster, with a pair of weathered linemans boots more my style. Watch the door and I may come moseying in!
EDIT:
Choo : I did not forget your post! Don't lose sleep over nonsense? Is that the gist of it?

OK Choo, yes you are an honest one! Smile

Susanne, you say you have watched Dr Who since the beginning? I don't think you are that old (you don't look it in my dreams). Now I know Choo will know the answer to this, 'cos I remember him hiding behind the sofa when I was doing the same, but can you tell me who the actor was who played the original Dr Who?
Hi taz, just have to ask, it's obviously not made of ostrich feathers what is an

an Aussie duster
Confused

"Don't lose sleep over nonsense?"
I don't think any of us do that with this or the BC threads to vent on, no you are going off the track now, ok here is the original from the Pete coming out poll, and the translation.

me word's were :-
"Be'er be t'onest truf or yor'l be up a'fore the beak in't morn"

Better but still poor English :-
"It had better be the honest truth or you will be up before the magistrate/judge in the morning"

This "honest truth " is a dire but common piece of wording.

So there you go Taz is the winner by a mile. Smile

Geez no wonder I never liked Shakespere - could never understand a word of it!

Pete has the Tardis now, whoo hoo!!!! And LOVE the telemarketing link BTW....

EDIT...forgot to say I'm here LOL like a jackass all by myself Big Grin Big Grin I never get those kind of calls Frown now I want one so I could pull a little stunt like that Wink
Must admit Choo the knuckle duster is an intriguing idea and much better usage of words than the mundane American brass knuckles.
Pete yes indeed it is safe to come out of hiding. DaraDork deserved another thrashing! I must admit I am thoroughly enjoying this butt kickin permit handed out by Sheriff Jeff. Yippee we've all been deputized and time to look for the hangin tree!
Q: What do James T. Kirk and spammers have in common?

A: They both regularly circle Uranus searching for Klingons

EDIT:
CAUTION MIss M. with those references to Kleenex, you see Choo has already reported poor Pete once. Would not want you to be his next victim.
Yes still up but it is just past midnight here, probably won't be up more than other hour tonight though.

The other post I just answered could be a long one and by all means step in if they reply during your evening - night shift Wink

Looks like another jump in the deep end and near drowning job despite our cautionary tales, another issue due to Jeff making it sound easy to use Auctiva, would not really go with that myself it's quite a learning curve for some Frown

Oh I dunno..I'm a computer idiot, yet I had virtually no problems at all learning Auctiva. Sure I had a few questions, but I never had a problem big enough to prevent me from listing..I honestly think people should read more and take all the tutorals..instructions are there for everything.

EDIT - don't forget, we have to provoke Pete while he's gone Wink
Hi Ms M, just vented my frustrtation on booklady's poll thread, after another total newbie suffered the totally unnescessary "arrgh listing disspeared" initiation ceremony.

I really wish I knew what was behind the reluctance to pass the buck back to ebay, must be contractural small print that they are not even allowed to admit too.

There are two kinds of newbie likely to come unstuck, the one who is not well versed in techno-babble, tries but is swamped and those who can only be spoon fed every cr*mb Wink

So long as you can take it step by step and follow the tutorials (I gather from yourself and others they are good) then the former newbie should be ok.

The latter well, tough, wake up to the real world we can give pointers but it's up to them.

Regarding the tutorials I must admit I just dived in and played being a typical software engineer Wink as it all seemed quite logicallly set up to me Smile

Type, ya' all later Cool
Hi y'all, just found a few minutes to jump in! Son has a day off school today, so I have taken a day off work and we all went ten pin bowling, plus chinese for lunch Smile Off to Germany for work next week though, so won't get any time to myself, so highly unlikely to get in here.

I wonder why we can't have a sticky thread in the Getting Started forum, so we can just put our own warnings to newbies - that wouldn't mean Jeff doing anything else then, we could do it.
Could take a train, 'cos there's the Euro Tunnel which goes under the English Channel - but no, I'm flying. And yes, I do have to travel a reasonable amount (although not as much as I have done in the past I'm glad to say), but trust me, travelling on business is not all it's cracked up to be. Taxi, airport, plane, taxi, hotel, taxi, office, taxi, hotel, food, bed, taxi, office, taxi, airport, plane, taxi, home at last (and that was just a one-nighter!). I have been travelling for business for about 10 years now, and apart from my last trip to Germany, I have never ever got to see any of the sights, other than what I have passed en route. Last trip to Germany though, our German colleagues arranged a visit to the Mercedes Centre of Excellence, where they make and customise some very expensive vehicles for people with more money than sense. They also make the Maybach there - incredible piece of kit - but at about €1,000,000 ($1,461,942) it's a little out of my league!

Travel today's topic, eh, what's up Pete your Tardis got a flat battery, won't start, thinking about a plane or train to Germany ?

I find in travelling to Europe the flying is the short bit, add one hour on underground(metro) to London another hour on train to the airport, checkin, wait, flight, train, at the end can mean London suburbs to northern Italy can take over 7 hours door to door, only one and 3/4 hour flying on the plane !

On top of that the train fares this side of the channel usually cost more than the off-peak flight one way and somtimes more than the return fare.

Our trains fares are horrendous,last time we went to Scotland we preferred to fly and tour by car once there. Considering you probably cannot fly more than about 400 to 500 miles across this island without going from coast to coast even north-south.

Chaffeurs, I have trouble spelling it let alone paying one, mind you never had a car that I could pay a respesctable chaffuer to get into let alone be seen dead driving Wink

edit - phew after my copy/paste, don't spend long time editing on line, pontificating (luvverly word!) u lot were nearly lucky not to see this reply as I got a 'site not found' immediatly after pressing 'Post', hard luck it got there Big Grin

Hi Choo,

In the states we seem to drive or mainly fly everywhere, because of the long distances involved. And being in a city of over 3 million people, the only trains I really know about are the 'Metra'commuter trains that get you from point A to point B. They go so fast it's scary.

I love to fly but the security checks make it such a hassle now, tho the need is understood.

I usually prefer just to drive as long as it's not too far.

~Pete tried to use the Tardis but he's not the real 'Doctor' so it won't work for him Smile

EDIT on my typo--Chicago has 3 million people - no wonder we need our own train system Smile

You mean he's an imposter, quick where's the report imposters button, press, press, press.

No luck still passport control will stop him, speaking of which even travelling from any of London's airports internationally have also tightened up enormously. I imagine for a country the size of the USA where you probably use planes like we use trains you must really be feeling it.

Unfortunately there are too many nasty pieces of work out there who have a total disregard for any form of life including thier own so we literaly have to live with the restrictions.

Otherwise flying is pretty safe, mind you a BA plane landed about 700yds short of the runaway at London Heathrow yesterday, only a few minor injuries but made a real mess of one engine and wing. No idea of cause issued yet but so far foul play ruled out.

Hey this thread is getting a bit real world, quick press the lunacy button quick, pink spots with stripes alert, sounds a bit Red Dwarf, ah, that's better Big Grin
Hello what is going on here?

Sorry Miss M but you are being escorted to the door! Please post pertinent information from now on!
Carlos Mencia says Dee Da Dee! "My scrolling gallery has been moved to the top and I have searched the board for an answer!" DUH! Dum-Dum look at the recent posts.; Gee Grasshopper I did not think of that. DUH Gum-Gum for my Dum-Dum!
Lunatics , rhetorical question for y'all!
Why can't people search these boards like we do? An answer is at the top of the posts and some Dum-Dum says I have looked and cannot find it!
DUH maybe they should just post" I am LAZY Dum-Dum please SHOOT me!"
I thought you had already had, why did I go hcuo, hcuo ?

Ok Ms M, you're nicked, lurking with intent to use an offensive weapon, and dumping without a permit on this thread which is a federal offence, anything you say will be taken down and used in evidence .. "Knickers", ok who said that ?

Who's lurking within this thread, was that you Taz, or the MIA Shadeaux & Ninth.

Anyone there, just missed Taz earlier, hang on was it you N, what does N stands for, perhaps you can tell us Big Grin

Oh, well typing to myself again, dum, dum, de dum, tuneless whistle . . . , oh dear this is, just like contacting ebay support the only difference here is the reply is humourous but from ebay it's random electronic text clippings less useful than toe clippings, ramble, ramble ....


Ok, folks sorry, I was not here earlier because I had to be sociable face to face, ok I have admitted my sins Roll Eyes

Hi Miss M. I've been right here... just a keyboard away. Smile I wondered which is who. lol And of course, we're still happy dancin'! Always!

Hi Taz. Have fun! Here, I got this for you.
Oh I am still around for a bit. Waiting for N to show up. Gave her a direct link on the " I am Lazy" thread.
Jeff posted some good ideas to the thread today. Hope he follows through. I like the addendum he did to "READ THIS FIRST". Did you notice he did not add the addendum to this board?
Thank you for the pretzel Miss S. Just what I want on my day off! LOL
Going for pre-employment physical and drug testing tomorrow for a new job. Gee I wonder if HIGH levels of caffeine show up!

I sure did Taz. Saw those ideas.
I'm making sort of like a Dummy Guide for the Profiles and Seller Details. I remember having some of the same questions. I'm too stubborn an ole mule to go through all the tutorials. It's so time consuming - like not knowing what I'm doing speeds things up. lol I just referenced quickly to help muddle through. I thought maybe if I put it in my kind of language and how I did it, it may help. I'm hoping it won't offend and wish I could get it shorter. Like my posts, it keeps growing and growing... Roll Eyes I hope to have it done tomorrow sometime and will just start a thread. Is it a bad idea? Title suggestions anyone?
Profiles & Seller Details Explained

I gave N an invite on some thread somewhere a couple of days or so ago. Something about an IQ higher than a doorknob... Yep, that fits right in here. Big GrinBig Grin

My IQ is at least as high as a doorknob - but that frizzed my hair LOL
That was Katy but N was posting to the same thread so an honest mistake on your part. Just don't let it happen again! Or I will have to use the D-D words on ya!
BTW Jeff did add the addendum to this thread also. He has all the power and just presses a button to post on all boards.
I want a special button. OH give me the codes for the silos! LOL

Now Taz, ya darn well oughta know by now I'm just pickin' fun with ya! I DID say I have no basis for saying that. YOU're the one that posted your age on here. Wink

Yes, it was an honest mistake. Guess I've maybe not talked to N after all. Roll Eyes
NOOoooooooooooo!!!!!! Pleeeeeease! NOT the D-D words!!!!!

Nah. From what I saw, it's just a matter of findin' a place to jump in... feet first, head first... it's all a matter of preference I reckon. Just jump in. Big Grin

'Course I know you're funnin' Taz! Smile

So there was this pirate captain and every battle they ever fought, they won. They robbed and robbed and always won the battles.

When asked how he did it, he replied, "It's simple. When we're going to battle, I have me men bring me red shirt and I wear it. Me men don't see me blood and we keep on fightin' and win."

They were coming upon this ship that was heard to be the toughest crew ever to sail the seas with the largest treasure ever to be found. The captain told his men to prepare for battle. They got closer and closer. He still hadn't asked for his red shirt.

When the men could stand it no more, they asked, "Don't you want your red shirt?" He replied, "Aargh! Not this time. Now go bring me brown pants!"
