Last year was my first american halloween, and a part of me is sad that I'm not going to be there for it this year, as its not really a big deal in britain, instead 5 days later we celebrate guy fawkes, or rather the fact he didn't manage to blow up parliment in 1605.
Heres the pictures of my first american halloween (last year).
What is (or would be) your DJ name?
Hi, I am "affectionately" known as DJ Groin
I've been trying to sell the same phone for 5 months, its a top-of-the range mobile phone. Its not even mine, I offered to sell if for a colleague, and since i've probably bought and sold about 50 things on ebay in the past 3 years, I would consider myself somewhat of an expert.
But I cant sell the damn thing.
The first time some guy in africa bought it (ignoring the fact I said I would only ship to the UK). I emailed ebay and asked what to do, they suggested I send it to africa anyway. The winning bidder offered me over the odds for the phone, then sent a (very convincing) confirmation email from paypal. It was so convincing even, that I boxed up the phone and sent it. Much to my shock, when I checked by paypal account, the only activity was the £50 charge to DHL. A quick call to DHL and the phone was winging its way back to me.
The Second time, the winning bidder had bid £650 on the [£250] phone, then deleted his account the very next day.
The Third person, Bid £1500 on it, and then I get an email from ebay saying that the winning bidder had their account "hacked" and had no intention of paying.
The forth time, some guy didn't like the fact that I would't accept his "offer" before the auction had ended and decided to email ebay and tell them... actually I dont know what he hold them, but ebay cancelled the auction.
The final straw was getting an invoice from ebay for 4 auctions. Needless to say I'm sceptical to put this thing back up for auction. But otherwise its just sitting in a draw in my office desk.
This came about because a guy in my office would always put on the Imperial March (Star Wars). And We couldn't help notice that it sounds just like Mary Poppins. So I remixed it.
PS: Should work this time!
ok, so I realise I'm in danger of turning my [limited] blog into a iain does video clips... but I need a little cheering up, and this does the trick every time. :)
