How fast does your watch go? I'm looking for something capble of at least
sixty minutes an hour.

 

Well I've got a couple of mountain bikes I'd gladly swap for a decent watch
if anyone's interested.

 

I can think of safer ways of getting cash than palming stolen watches off on
potentially
homicidal bikers!
Sir will be provided with a full receipt.....

 

Ah - I dont have the original receipt - it is a late fifties watch after all.
The perpetually suspicious could be accompanied to fattorinis jewellers who
could confirm the authenticity and that its not on the stolen register
though....

I am sorry to burst your illusory bubble but I don't wear a watch. In
fact I wear no jewellery of any sort. I need no further adornment.

Bollox. Ubran fucking miff innit. I doubt you have ever tried.

 

dunno, but the museum has polished dinosaur turds.

I expect it starts right back in the early planning stage. For three
days before you have to be eating the right sort of food or summat.
Wood chips sounds right.

 

dunk it in liquid nitrogen, high-speed, extra-fine abrasion material on
the Dremel, innit?

Dip it in shellac when your done, mind, for...err..aesthetic reasons.

 

Right, then.

So you have an "auction" with eBay that involves no financial
transaction so you can't/won't pay their fees - and you're spamming it
here?

Give me two solid reasons why I shouldn't report you to eBay and your
ISP, ensuring you lose both accounts before brekkies tomorrow,
fuckface.

 

Seems a bit extreme Pip - I want to swap a watch for a bike and mention it here
, so I hadn't thought of it as spam.
I hadnt thought of the Ebay fees though so ta for the heads up on that - the
listing has been amended to ensure the Ebay fees are paid.

 

You could varnish one though.

 

Here's the urban legend:

: A friend of mine in the RAF was telling me that in the airmans mess at
: RAF Brize Norton they had mounted on an oak plaque on the wall, a ried
: and varnished Royal turd. This RAF base is home to the royal families
: aircraft, and on one flight Princess Margaret was the only Royal on
: board the plane. They have their own 'Royals only' toilet and at the
: end of the flight when they were emptying the tank, they found a large
: 8 incher which could only belong to Princess Margaret. They fished it
: of the tank, dried it, varnished it and then lovingly mounted it on an
: oak plaque. Is this turd the only one like it in the world, or does
: somebody out there collect them ? I think we should be told.

 

I don't think so - is this newsgroup called
uk.rec.advertise.your.hopeless.ebay.scam.here - no, I thought not.

If you want to advertise, do it straight or look for a ng with"advert"
in its title.

Fair play and a good plan - still don't think they will like it - and
advertising any auction here can be construed as "unsolicited email"
which equals spam in eBay's book.
