POLL: the final step before ninth_wave reveals all!

Especially for you Taz.

Ninth, for you... because you asked. tmba

Ninth have you not been following the BC blow up the past few days? A bunch of spamming has been going on. EG: gee I am just so excited and have to share etc...
EDIT: Little Crusts is my obvious rip off of B*G Cr*mbs!
EDIT/EDIT See I am even to cautious to spell it out for fear of banishment!

Did you see my gift especially for you Taz?
It's likely inevitable now. Too bad everyone is gonna have to pay!

Good one Taz!

And Miss S...what the heck is tmba??????

By gift Miss S are you referring to this great Pic?
I love it! Almost busted a gut when I saw that one but after wading through 2 1/2 pages of posts I forgot to comment on it
Edit: by the way Miss S are you warm and cuddly tonight with that new Fat Boy?

Ninth Borgs do not have fun as Spock would say that is "Highly Illogical"

Its cuz they miss half the fun!

edit - yes, been following the BC stuff, just a DUH moment!

But Ninth if they never had fun how could they miss it?
Ok well we do have Data the over-analyzing android!

Great Miss M you chased Miss S away with your question!

quote:

And Miss S...what the heck is tmba??????

Obviously she is spamming for Texas Mortgage Bank Association!
EDIT: Gee I wonder if that one really exists?

Taz, I think she's stil lurking somewhere...do YOU know what tmba is cuz I sure dont. Am I just being dense (again) ??

quote:

do YOU know what tmba is cuz I sure dont.

No I don't. Must be one those new anagrams like GAR?
EDIT: Off to bed for me. See Y'all later

I think I got it by Jove! tmba equals Take My Breath Away
EDIT: GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR now youse two!

Miss M, aren't you persistent!

Taz, I'm glad you like your mutant pretzel but that's not it. You'll figure it out.... I'll never tell!
I'm saving my throw. It's plenty warm right now with the building just burning down!

Nice try Taz but it's really bug talk for "I LOVE YOUR A**!"
Here comes the RAID!

I do believe you're right Taz.. and here I was thinking something like Two Minds Become Abysmal or something to that effect

"By Jove"? You're starting to talk like our Brits Check out Choo's last post on our other poll thread, I have no idea what he said, need an interpreteur!

Ninth, shhhhh!

OKAY Now I cannot sleep Miss S as I am trying to figure out my gift?

Oh geez. bug talk??? Ninth you have really come out of your shell so to speak (little pun there)

Can't help it! Spiders have such great arses!

Miss M - See what that whack on the side of the head did to me? I owe it all to you.

I thought the gift was the pretzel...and I gave you slippers. (For the last time, not strippers, SLIPPERS)

Why are we giving you stuff?

Although I did give Pete a pair of boxer shorts with red hearts all over them
Needless to say, he wasn't very happy

Why Ninth, thank you!

""Miss M - See what that whack on the side of the head did to me? I owe it all to you""

Ok I don't know if that's good or bad...maybe I should whack ya again just to be sure it's good?

Taz, it's soooo obvious with each post I make!
Now go rest so it won't get in the way of your pretzel makin'!

Miss S, I prolly shouldn't say this, it will sound wrong but you have a cute little *A (vatar)

He didn't appreciate those, did he? I thought they were pretty fun.

Miss M!!!

Miss M this is Cockney rhyming slang and I am unfamiliar with it but be'er is better. Some examples are Apples and Pears equal stairs and Bloody Mary equlas hairy. Cockney slang was widely used for illegal activities years ago but now has gone mainstream and is considered good fun.
Perhaps Choo will be kind enough to give us a translation in the morn as I believe i have begun breaking his A la mode!

Taz, it's soooo obvious with each post I make!

I am so cornfused right now I can see no gift and am really trying to figure it out!
how is it SOOOO obvious? A hint at least !

Don't worry Miss S...just funnin ya

EDIT--Taz I can't see it either, it's not just you.

awww, Miss M, me too.

Taz, I don't know how to give you any more of an obvious hint without outright telling you. With each post I make... Look at the posts from top to bottom and what do you see (or NOT see)??? How's that?

Miss S..We don't know!
(least I don't)

The only difference I see is your BC and store links are gone ??

AAARRGHH Brain dead here I am. Nothing see I. Luke tis because the force is strong within you but you will not listen to Master Yoda!
In circles talking me you are Miss S

EDIT: Just saw Jeff's post about filtering out BC possibly.
That stinks, maybe if we keep the ground attack up it will not get to that point.
Wonder if Kick It Back will be filtered also. LOL

I deleted mine. That's all it is.

I was thinking of adding mine! Why would you delete it. Links are still acceptable?
I noticed your siggy was different but did not have it sink in quite yet! TIRED!

It seemed like the thing to do. I may put it back. I'll have to think it through and see what discussions come out of it. I like it there.

edit- now go have sweet pretzel dreams Taz.

Jeez Louise! I thought I'd wound up on a porn thread a few pages back Shirley and Sid, behave yourselves!

Steve, glad it seems to have gone well with the parents. I had this image of the dinner going very smoothly, then after you left, Dad picking up the phone, and saying in his best James Bond Villain sinister voice - 'Keel heem'! Glad it doesn't seem to have come to that!.

Susanne, of course I like the shorts! I'd like any underwear you gave me

Choo, a dragon vomiting a fireball? No, he's reading a 'For Dummies' book!

Hi Pete, well on a 1600x1200 display the book looked like flames and the dragon was holding his head, so ...

I can see it now, amazing how a bit of extra info changes the interpretation of an image

Regards interpretation, I see Taz is trying to translate my post on 'your' poll thread so I will give the answer later on, read it quick and you find it makes sense easier

I've read it quickly, slowly, held it up to a mirror, even run it through the BabelFish translator (all languages) - but no joy. I'll have to wait for the answer!

Morning everyone...

To me (the small size of the avatar) it looked like a dog with big yellow buck teeth
And I have my contacts in!

My vote is still for the giraffe with the adorable eyebrow

And Pete, I guess I'll just have to find you some other boxer shorts won't I

Do you do free fitting? Say yes, and the giraffe returns!

OK I say yes. (HA try to hold me to that one)

Now quit holding my adorable giraffe hostage already..you know how I love the eybrow thing he does

OK, he's back! Now, where's me boxers?

YIPPEE!! See that other poll did do some good...(maybe?)

Here's your new shorts

Miss M! Good mornin'! Fancy meetin' you here!

Same to you Miss S!
You're up bright & early today.
I just realized Pete said 'boxers'
Here ya go Pete



Oh boo it's not showing up..maybe later no time to change it now

The giraffe is back! The giraffe is back!
Care to happy dance, Miss M!?!


edit- Surely you have time for a quick happy dance with me!!
Com'on guys! Join in!

Love the happy dance Miss S. almost as much as I love that lil' giraffe pic

Need to bury that fast. It's a jammin' block there but I'm Not removing it.

Have a happy day Miss M.
Hi Pete! *hugging giraffe*

Miss M, I think Pete left us already (prolly didn't like the boxers I was gonna give him)

I'm headin out too--talk later tonite

Sorry girls, I wasn't ignoring you, I had to take my lad to his swimming lesson. But I am bowing out now for the night, so catch you later.

PS, I like the idea of a free gift in my shorts!

PPS, I like the happy dance too!

Hi folks, just came down the ol' apple and pears and see Taz is trying to break the 'code' surprised Pete's given up, p'haps he's too much of a sprog compared to me

Ne'er u mind, I'll give Taz some more time as he enjoys a Wiki-challenge (must get more emoticons).

Regards Crumbing I think that there could be some company vested interest in including BC in the 'cussing filter' because recently 'the' #1 voice on here was promoting another similar company called K*ck B*ck.

Will that also be filtered out I wonder ?

Oh, goody the Giraffe's back, well done girls you've got Pete wrapped around your little fingers a gift girls are born with and refine into womanhood

Hey Choo!

Went emoticon huntin' yesterday, can ya tell? lol edit- Check out Care2... hope it's okay to nab 'em up.

Regarding the cussing filter and KB, I think not. I hope not for the BC and wish those people would just use some good ole fashioned common sense when they take off postin' like that! I mean, what on Earth do they think they'll accomplish with it? That's right up on the list of 'most rude'. And to see it here on our friendliest forum is really a bit shocking!

I'm off here for now but had to say Howdy. And I told you over there, I've 'broken the code'. Is it really that difficult?

Methinks Pete's giraffe is back with visions of those heart skivvies dancing in his head. Miss M??

Hi Shadeaux, since when were people born with manners ? it develops when you are brought up decently. So we shouldn't expect it really.

So combine a low standard of business ethics and lack of manners and people will spam away get temporarily banned move on somewhere else, come back and so on.

I wish junk mail through the letter box could be filtered out the same as e-mail/board spam. But like cold calling telephone sales (expletive of your own choice here) trolls both our post office and telephone service providers get big bucks for it.

Ho, hum

On a lighter note marked Taz's 'homework', 9/10 and given a hint for him to think about, see how it ties up with your thoughts.

Dinner's ready back later

Coo, isn't it quiet, might actually gets some work done for a change

Morning, afternoon, evening

(As Miss S would say)

Hi Pete--saw you on some other questions, are you still here?
I couldn't get a connection last night but I see it WAS slow..

Hi Susanne, yes still here for a little while

I noticed you posted just after me on the other thread - GMTA

Oh yes, GMTA

Sorry, I got sidetracked for a little while..sure is q u i e t isn't it??

BTW I'm still looking for the perfect pair of boxers for you

Hey all just popping in for a bit before going to work( Hopefully out of the pretzel business in the next couple of weeks, just came from a second interview on a job I have been trying to get for the last 8 months )
Dealing with a PITA buyer right now,that I just placed a post about .
One bad buyer can really mess up your day! She has sent me a email with a barely concealed threat towards my 100 % feedback.

quote:

Hi there, just thought I'd send you this message before I go through EBAY feedback.

I do not deal well with threats! I really feel like sending a Scathing Butt Kicking email. Not that I am any good at kickin butt as you have seen on some of my more vociferous posts!
Anyway hope everyone is having a great day.

I'm still waiting Susanne!

Bad luck Steve, let's hope you get the job!

I'm still looking Pete

This may take awhile

Miss M check your email

quote:

She has sent me a email with a barely concealed threat towards my 100 % feedback.

Hi Taz I lost my eBay virginity within the first few months of selling due to a stroppy buyer who over bid on an old listed as damaged item, which was well photgraphed. He basically wanted an excessive partial refund or would neg me. I refused to buckle to his threats so I got my first red.

That was over 2 years ago and over a thousand positives collected since from many repeat customers across the globe (and no more reds), who needs 100%, 99.9% is good enough 100% pure is used as a weapon against you by dubious buyers. My many global, repeat customers can't be wrong.

edit - congrats Taz has reached a 1000, how do you feel

Hi Choo, thought I saw you around...

Yep, we are all going to get negged sooner or later, I've been negged once each on all 4 of my buyer acts but never yet on my selling act (how strange is that)

Of course I negged the sellers first but they were absolutely horrible transactions and they really did deserve it. Usually I'd much rather leave no FB at all.

TAZ--forgot, I sent you one too, go check

Hey Choo I did not notice that milestone! Feels alright I guess.
EDIT:Pete you are in BIG trouble!

It figures, I think Pete is gone now

Pete, with Taz's help (thanks Taz) we have found the perfect pair of boxers for you:

Why Pete is that a Giraffe in your pants or are you just happy to see all of us lunatics? Miss M, I think Pete may still be around. Hopefully anyway!

Taz, I wonder if this giraffe is winking??

Gee Miss M I don't know. But perhaps we should name him just in case?
Winky the Giraffe.
Oh Pete is going to kill us!
A whole new round of Whackin has begun!

Love the whackin!!

We seem to be picking on Pete alot lately (especially when he's not around)

Yep, will definitely lead to whackin

HMM?? Perhaps Whackin is the wrong choice of words here, considering what Pete is hiding in his pants now.
At least the giraffe cannot throw flames at us like Pete's dragon could. But then again maybe that is why the dragon was reading the dummies book? Could it have been fire breathing for dummies?

quote:

Oh no not again, where's my kleenex Neglected to think of it THAT way, oh man my sides hurt again..

Trying to pull myself together here...you were right earlier, Pete's gonna kill us

Great shorts Susanne (and Taz)! I like 'em. Maybe the neck is a little long though

LOL. OK, I do now have to go, so catch y'all on the flip side

Well I am off to the pretzel factory. (hopefully not too many more times )
Will be anxiously awaiting a chance to view the responses to our latest posts.
Miss M I do believe you better buy stock in Kleenex I have a feeling you may be needing Kleenex by the case soon.
EDIT: See I told you Pete was around!

Pete just remember that as Taz I am able to spin up quite a storm!

Hey Ya'll!

Miss M, are you settled on one pair? (Hi Pete) I have another perfect pair right here in my hot little hands. Want me to send 'em to ya for him? Course ya know I gotta give Ninth first dubs on 'em.


No, I don't know what rubber chickens have to do with giraffes... except they both have long necks.

Taz, congrats on the 1000+! And good luck with the post-interview... You're movin' up!! woohoo!

Evenin' Choo. Did anyone ever figure out what on Earth you're sayin' over there?

Did I miss Kbalona somewhere or is he MIA?

Ninth, before Miss M claims these for Pete, you want first dubs??

edit- What's this? I get here and ya'll leave?
I took a shower!

Sorry Miss S, perhaps a new supply of anti-perspirant is in order?( Just Kiddin )
Pete must have sensed you coming the whole way over in England

quote:

perhaps a new supply of anti-perspirant is in order?

As I'm editing I took a shower! GMTA Taz.
Don't we all have some sort of ESP connection!

Well I'm still here but gotta leave in a sec...Miss S, why are we always crossing paths like this?? You get here & I'm leaving or vice versa Talk later
Hope everyone has a great day (or night)

Why Miss S I just got out of the shower! Gee we could have saved some water!
UH-OH Ninth is gonna get me now too!
Well really am leaving now. I don't want to be late for work.

Ninth, whack him, will ya?!!

Ya'll have a great day! I'm sure we'll talk soon.

quote:

Evenin' Choo. Did anyone ever figure out what on Earth you're sayin' over there?

Morning Shadeaux, well Taz was 90% correct don't know if he has totally given up yet as his mind seems to be pretzeled at the moment with all this talk about what Pete keeps in his shorts . . . or did I loose the 'thread' somewhere

The other suggestion, better just go and check, oh yes Ms M, hmmm, oh dear !

Quote : "Better be honest with/to yourself or you'll lose sleep"

Sorry Ms M, 3/10, could do better

Come on Taz, you've nearly got it or can someone else apply the final fix bearing in mind that Taz is 90%+ correct by word, but only 60% correct by meaning

Yep, this is late because I was out of town for a while.

Kbalona, ya got back here just in time!
Miss M an' Jeff need toughenin' up.

Grab yer rifle!! Hop on yer horse an' head North!
Help round up a posse to git them nasty varmints!

Just popping in..

Hi kbalona, about time

Miss S, will talk to ya later

Miss M, you're being soo bad! I know you're at work and posting here!
50 lashes with a wet noodle for you!!

No Miss S, I'm actually being good for a change Not at work, just back & forth on the computer....

Oh ps...I REALLY liked those rubber chicken boxer shorts..LOL!!!

Hi Choo just been so busy I cannot apply myself to figuring th puzzle out.
Today was a bit of a break getting to mess with Pete. But rest assured I am not concerned with what Pete keeps in his shorts!
I need to step back and re-examine the originating post to figure this out!

quote:

But rest assured I am not concerned with what Pete keeps in his shorts!

HAHAHA Aren't you the least bit curious Taz? I am...it's either a free gift or a giraffe

C'mon Pete, you love getting picked on, don't you..admit it

I posted a tear up in Jeffs invitational post here. Choo you should get in on this! https://community.auctiva.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4556093...451063662#7451063662

Hi Taz, thanks for the pointer, added my piece, really down to Auctiva to enhance the 'shields'.

And so as never actually said by James T Kirk*, "Beam me up Scotty"

*The one and only Real "Star Trek"

Namaste,

Ahh another Star Trek fan!

Just stopping by for a few minutes, (work today)

Choo..I almost wonder..WHY did Jeff leave that one post about BC?? Surely he must have seen it, he got all the other ones??? That member(?) has 8 posts and I think all of them were spam.
Gonna ruin it for everyone. If I had posted what I REALLY thought on the 'crumbing disease' board, Jeff would have suspended ME.

But you know I'm alot more laid back than our friend Taz

Trekkie, shows my age !

Well we can all help by pressing the report post icon "!" far right, but do it against the correct post in the thread I did it accidently against Pete's reply, whoops, sorry Pete

Then did against the right one saying it should be the top (original) but luckily Jeff is alot brighter than me so should be no problem.

I have also suggested suspending selling accounts for reoffenders, anyway I have added my tuppence worth to both whippedcream head (the snowmen on the attack maybe?) and whatsis-dorks name threads no nead to repeat it all here.

Life's too short with my typing speeds of up to 10 words a minuute, (including hitting the cursor and delete keys)

HA:

"Trekkie, shows my age !"

Mee too, Choo and yep the original is still one of my favorites tho I have liked all of them.

Shame on you for reporting Pete, although I did notice we're picking on him alot lately (that's ok, he loves it)
You have to stop those lightning fast typing speeds of 10 wpm so you don't make any more mistakes like that

You mean you had time to watch all the other series, alright for some, saw a few of the next generation series and that was it, too many spin-offs for me.

These days I keep up with another old favourite may not be that known stateside, Dr Who, seen all those including the earlier dire flms, the last one was good, with a tinge of Terminator 2 liquid metal man about it.

Have fun at work, amazing the last 2 nights I was around until about 3am GMT and hardly a murmur on here, boy is my timimng bad

Or is it your ESP based Choo alert sensors warning you all off

It's my ESP Choo sensors

I think everyone knows Dr. Who...I LOVE Dr Who!! I used to watch it way back when (not sayin EXACTLY when) but it is really awesome now...especially the last episode. I'm gonna miss Chris Eccleston tho, I really liked him as Dr Who.

How about Coupling? Do you watch that? Totally hilarious. We get alot of BBC shows here on weekend nights. I'n not much of a TV watcher anymore but there are a couple that I will drop everything for

Thought of another one...Fawlty Towers?? Oh God I would go through a whole CRATE of kleenex watching that one

quote:

Thought of another one...Fawlty Towers??

Pure classic Cleese, no other way to describe it !

"think everyone knows Dr. Who...I LOVE Dr Who!! I used to watch it way back when"

Think that started about 1962-3 ? here watched it from episode 1, scared the life out of me I watched the daleks from behind the sofa, great stuff !

Coupling but then not much recent stuff appeals.

BTW Taz must have had agood nights sleep with his on the edge of a diplomatic incident reply to Mr whippy's thread. Hi Taz

Hey all what diplomatic incident if you only refer to the whiipiy thread? Obviously you did not yet see my reply to DaraDorks flogging post!
Wow whackin and floggin I did not realize this place was so much fun!
Next victim please step up to the whipping post and bare your posterior for a good old fashioned whuppin, whackin and floggin!

Mr Choo, this is my last post then I gotta go, just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you ...Are you telling me you don't find Coupling funny, or you just haven't watched it?? It's twice as funny as Fawlty Towers and that's really saying something
Especially the earlier episodes. I guarentee it will appeal

See you later, have a great day

Hi Ms M no problem, I'm surprised any of you get to work due to either late nights on the boards or early morning chats

Coupling, never seen or heard of it but then again I rarely look at the goggle box except for watching DVD's or using the PS2

Have a great day, Choo

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

True Choo but we still have our flogging permits courtesy of Jeff

And Choo how did you know I use to breed Rottweilers?
Well I too must get ready for work.

You reported me You reported ME You REPORTED ME

You Bas****!!!


Don't care, didn't hurt

Off for my tea now, see y'all later my luvvlies!

Hiya Pete,

Well at least I'm an 'onest b'std

quote:

And Choo how did you know I use to breed Rottweilers?

Well Taz, dogs and their owners frequently look alike, 'nuff said

Sorted my confusion it appears you or Jeff didn't see dorks other post :- "Everything Else -> EBAY BUYER AND SELLER MUST READ !" thread.

For a moment I thought I had become completely mad, need some spare capacity to get worse to maintain the level of lunacy required to be a regular on this thread.

Hi everybody,

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

Choo - My Rottweiller looks just like me (she's beautiful, HAHAHA) Rolling my eyes here..
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

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
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 Just kidding guys!

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?

quote:

Hope not out buying acreage to spin a new web of destruction

I'm sure that's exactly what they're doing (besides preparing for a new onslaught of goo-goo eyes)

I'm just waitin to use my RAID on them...or whack 'em, whackin is always good

OK Choo, yes you are an honest one!

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 Pete,

I used to know that one but I can't remember it without cheating ... and I'm too tired to cheat right now

PS..I didn't say since the beginning (that was Choo) I said way back when. HA HA like there's so much difference

It's my favorite show. If I'm working that weekend I always have it set up on the VCR.

G'night everyone..see you sometime tomorrow

It was William Hartnell, the old white haired guy (and probably the best I think).

G'night Susanne

Hi taz, just have to ask, it's obviously not made of ostrich feathers what is an

quote:

an Aussie duster

"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.

Here's a little something for all those of us who have been badgered by telemarketers in the past - it's excellent

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un_PjRXV5l8

EDIT - You want sound.

It certainly is, thanks

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

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 I never get those kind of calls now I want one so I could pull a little stunt like that

LOL, I thought you'd like my Tardis

Good grief, Pete's gone totally off his trolley, what now a disco-Dalek

Ms M, quote : "Geez no wonder I never liked Shakespere - could never understand a word of it!"

And Ms M, how could you compare that bruised, battered and broken sentence to the works of Shakespeare

Grooan, gotta lie down now . . .

Disco-Dalek ??? (Lookin for the kleenex again)

OOps - I didn't even spell 'Shakespeare' right when I first posted...but at least I could understand what I wrote

Quote: "Lookin for the kleenex again"

Ms M must have shares in Kleenex, is she spamming, better send the boys to check her out

Oh you guys have NO idea how you make me laugh
Makes me wish I DID have shares in kl****x (better?)

I haven't had as many chuckles with a computer since I typed a program into my very first Commodore Pet computer and the crude graphics picture of a hot air ballon fell out of the sky instead of rising from the ground.

Neeedless to say writing computer games was not my natural calling back in '81

Choo an Aussie duster is a long trench coat made of oilskin. Just catching up on posts here before going to work. Will post again after I am all caught up on the lunatic fringe.
Have to check out Pete's tele-marketer clip also.

Now why did I think an Aussie duster was a like a knuckle duster, must be the image you conjour up

Type to you later then . .

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!

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.

Spammers will be deleted!



Gotta go now folks, and I am away tomorrow, and may not get back in here until next Friday - so have fun, and I'll chat to you when I can! Ta ta!

Ta ta Pete, we will have to provoke you through the week to see if you are just thread lurking

"Spammers will be deleted!"

Choo are you still up??
Thought I saw you answer another post .. isn't it about 0200 there?

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

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

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

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

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 as it all seemed quite logicallly set up to me

Type, ya' all later

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 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.

Hi Pete, don't think sheriff Jeff wants to give the deputies that much power, mind you this thread is written to so often it is almost stuck in place.

Have fun in Germany, pop in if you get a chance otherwise don't worry if you can't we love to talk about others behind their back, don't we gang

Hey Choo,

C'mon we know Pete will definitely pop in, if only to lurk and see what we're saying about him

Hmmmm..UK to Germany...that's probably closer than me going to see Miss S in Texas ?

(haven't checked it, just thinking out loud)

>>Just realized, no one was posting here last night (including me)

Hi Susanne, I never lurk, if I'm here I'll post - you know I'll never pass up a chance to flirt with you my lovely!

I think it's about one and a half hours out, and about 50 minutes back (downhill on the way back apparently).

Spammers! Delete delete delete...

I just realized...we haven't had any Thursday night maintenence meltdowns to deal with for the last few weeks ??

Kind of odd (in a good way)

I'm not sure, but I think the maintenance windows have been getting shorter - something Jeff stated a while back he hoped would happen.

Only 1 1/2 hours?? Wow, it would take about 4 hours (aprox) to fly from Chicago to Texas.

Do you get to travel alot? That's one of the things I always wanted to do...especially Europe Love those castles

EDIT--are you flying or taking the train?? Oh I don't think you CAN take a train can you?? Water in the way??

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!

http://www.maybach-uk.com/?icid=J181-2324212-140D&kw=maybach

Gee I think I will have to cancel my order for 2 Maybachs and settle for one Things are slowing sown at the pretzel factory and I would not want to get stuck owing 2 car payments. I might get a bit salty about that. LOL

LOL they are very nice Steve, anything you can think of it probably has - they do 2 different length wheelbases - depending upon whether you are going to drive it yourself, or get your chauffer to drive it How the other half lives huh?

Maybach=car kit?

Your link won't load for me, it's just hanging there with a blank screen

I had to fire my chauffer, he was stealing all my CDs

Wow Miss M your chauffeur only still your CDs? Mine drank all my Cristal and stole my Picasso's.
Luckily I managed to offload the ex-fiancee and 5 kids on him and upgrade to a 23 year old with no kids. (YET )

Well he was stealing my cigaretts too...*swoon* - unforgivable

Yeah, almost forgot about the 23 year old...no wonder you're not around much anymore

Well I do have my responsibilities. It is a horrible task but someone has to do it!
I've been so busy I almost forgot about Thursday night meltdowns. Good to see that maintenance is taking less time.

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

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

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

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

Who says I'm not a real doctor? I may not be, but I'll give it a bloomin' good looking at!

Right folks, off again now, see you in about a week I guess.

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

Yes Choo!! We NEED a lunacy button to get us back to 'normal'

All right guys enough of this sanity in this insane post area. We have rulez you know!
Do I have to beat them into you all?
