    Talking about free things on ebay, i bought a bathroon cabinet the other day but upon collection seller refused to take any payment :T (was only £1.04) strange enough but then she left me great feedback saying I'd overpaid by 6p :confused:
    This time next year Rodney... :D
  • Speaking of Giant Land Snails...did you know they'll permanently remove hairs from your body? Oh yes. Place one onto your leg and it'll slowly make its way down, eating the hairs as it goes. And then the goo it leaves behind destroys the follicles and stops regrowth! (Thank my partner for this factoid, he's a scientist).

    I'd not thought of looking for free stuff on eBay, so thanks to the OP :)

    Why are you so keen on getting pets as presents? They are living creatures & should be treated with respect. Giving animals as gifts willy nilly to children is not really to be encouraged unless they really want it & are taught how to be responsible for the pets. I'm not sure that this would be the case if you are looking for any free pets on random websites on the offchance that they are there and free. It just feels like it's an irresponsible thing to do IMO

    What kind of a person would give an animal away on a website without checking out the new owners anyway?


    i think the original point was that you can find free stuff on ebay...this particular example happened to be an animal!!!:rolleyes:

    April the 1st is still a way away.. but sounds like your partner got you good and proper.
    O rly? :p

    Try clicking here. Secretions from the common garden snail are now being used in face and body creams! Without an in depth search, I can't find any internet evidence about the hair removing properties of the giant land snail but I can promise one thing, my partner wasn't kidding :p
  • Heh, there's a difference between knowing that having giant land snails remove my hairs and actually trying it :lol:
