I salute you!

"I genuinely wish you every success in all your future endeavours."

I wonder if there was a little sarcasm in there.  :D

I suspect so, but I also think it is without malice.

Either way, common sense prevailed and it might be a good idea if you made a note of that in your diary.  You may need to refer to it when talking to your great grandchildren.

I just bought a GF leather jacket off Ebay.  It was worryingly the Ebayer's fIrst transaction and the poor soul had a buy-it-now price of £400.  He failed to include a started bid though and I managed to swoop in and snatch it for £29 - that's right, £29!

As the guy doesn't have any feedback to worry about yet I think he may skip out and so I left it 12hrs before paying to give him a chance to mail me and cry-off.

No mail, so I paid.

What's the odds that I don't ever receive the item?

That's probably £29 more than the seller paid for it.

Got my Jacket yesterday and it will look the nuts in the autumn, especially when riding my Firestorm.

I use the above foul & sexist terms in the low English sense.*

Thankfully, I'm not that bad yet.

I have bought some pretty dreadful stuff though.
