A pair of 1970's British made Leak speakers in teak. Price started rising so I bailed out. The obvious trick is remembering that you need to be able to sell for a higher number than you bought for. Sounds simple, but people get competitive and find they buy stuff for around £50 when the going rate is around £50.

a sort of common sense has now prevailed, Labour and Plaid are due to have fresh talks tomorrow..... @snowychap I'm genuinely baffled by that whole UKIP vote thing, apparently disgraced cash for questions hamilton received 3,400 votes, but was on a bucket list under the PR part of the system and got in via that. I'd really love to know what qualities people saw in him and liked.

Politics is a funny old game isn't it. In the local hot air factory down the road from here the National Assembly was supposed to vote in it's El Presidente yesterday. Labour as by far the biggest party presumed their man was a shoe in. Plaid said slow down let's talk about it, you only have 29 of the 60 seats we could 'co-operate'. Nope, Labour happy to govern alone as a minority. Let's all vote for Carwyn. But at the vote 29 Labour and the 1 Liberal voted Carwyn. Plaid, Tories and UKIP all voted for Leanne Wood. A draw, 30:30. Welsh Labour have totally lost it over the following 24 hours accusing Plaid of dirty deals with UKIP. They've tweeted and briefed and shouted about how horrible UKIP are and how you should never ever deal with the sort of low life that UKIP has in it's ranks. They've gone on local tv and said they hope people that voted Plaid take a long hard look at the sort of people their Plaid representatives are now in bed with. They've declared themselves genuinely shocked and upset. This afternoon there has been a split in UKIP, and two of them are now siding with Labour. Labour have declared this change of heart by UKIP as a victory for grown up mature politics, hoping it now draws a line under the matter. Politicians, eh.

Alas, those were not my fine words, they were direct from the big man upstairs. Michael Jackson. (couldn't find a decent one of Jarvis)

There comes a time when we hear a certain call, when the world must come together as one. There are people dying, and its time to lend a hand to life, the greatest gift of all. We can't go on pretending day by day that someone, somewhere will soon make a change. We are all a part of God's great big family and the truth, you know, Love is all we need. We are the world, we are the children, we are the ones, who make, a brighter day. Have you truly never found comfort in someone else's child?

re Pixies and Stone Roses..... new single due out tomorrow from Super Furry Animals I am refusing to get my hopes up that it will be anything but a Gruf Rhys novelty record set to an indie rock background with some computer blips at the start and end.

Sometimes when they burn someone over at the crem, you will see what looks like snow coming out of the chimney.

I'm a pale skinned dark haired orphan child, one of a number of strikingly similar children, all raised in South America. My time will come.

yeah, right.... let's tell everyone what's available for less than half the price I know I could sell it on for.... It's not going to make me rich, I'm trading hi-fi bits n bobs in the £20 to £99 bracket, but it is turning in to a hobby/distraction that funds itself, buy it on e-bay, sell it on gumtree or trade it on forums, repeat.

Wishing away the count down hours for that thing on e-bay that nobody else on the planet appears to have spotted. I've been the only bidder all week, there are 8 hours left. I'll only buy it at this silly price.....so all common sense tells me I'll get done over in the last minute, but right now it's tantalisingly close. (it's not Ruge's hair straighteners)

Let's not rush in to all this happy clappy group hug life changing schizz. I've got a tenner down at Paddy Power that says he won't see out the year. But seriously, just get a hobby that doesn't destroy you. Travel, or carpentry, cycling, coffee. Anything. We need dicks like you to average out us boring dicks. But be a dick with a cycling compulsion or something. Something where you get to attend your grand children's first wedding or court appearance.

Losin' Boy, doesn't that take just under 2 seconds to clearly be a **** huuuuuuuge tune. Imagine coming up with music that hits it's mark within 2 seconds.

well this thread got dirty quickly.... anyway, latest reports on Joe Ledley's leg fracture suggest he could be ok for the later rounds.., #prayforJoe

Well that nice quiet man Iain Duncan Shit assures us that if the EU is being promoted by big business and the establishment, then it must be bad for the little guy. He was urging us all in a radio interview yesterday that if we are fed up with having our working hours limited and fed up with restrictive job protection legislation and fed up with human rights, fed up with work related accidents being reduced by poxy enhanced h&s legislation, we should vote leave, and put our faith in the little guy's friend, the tory party. Sad thing is, there will be people that will nod sagely, ignore all the historical evidence, and agree with him. There are arguments to vote leave. The tory party being the ultimate guardian and protector of the poor and vulnerable is not really one.

**** right off reported to a proper moderator....

Hmmm, I don't doubt he'll do his best, I don't doubt he's embarrassed. Unfortunately, I don't see any of that helping him over the slight problem of being monumentally incompetent. He will over think this sale, take too long, worry, consult, reconsider, consult someone else, delay.....and then do something so left field stupid none of us had it as an option.

It's a subtle blend of joyful optimism and bullying by the oppressors. Looks very likely Joe Ledley is out of the Euro's. Butchered by Stoke.

. just burped much much louder than anticipated...

I guess these would be the same sort of people that don't understand what CASH ONLY / CARDS ONLY / TAG ONLY written in red illuminated flashing letters a meter tall above various toll booths means.... Personally, if I see a toll booth with a sign above it that says TAG ONLY, what I tend to guess, is you need a tag to get through that one. I tend not to think, hmmm 'tag only' I shall queue here and attempt to pay with varied coin of the realm.
