  • Guess what I got inthe post this morning

    Yep


    A camera I'm so excited:j

    And a letter from the great man himself from his hospital sick bed. It reads

    Hi Peter, it's me, Ken (not James or any other name he's called himself). Here is the camera returned, please refund my my money including postage. Thanks Ken

    And the best part about it is that he signs himself off as

    The Laird of John O'Groats

    Delusions of Grandure

    I was thinking of selling a few square inches of my garden for £25 to anyone who wants to buy.

    Would Martin think that this was a good MSE idea?

    Ah see, anyone can have the title Laird, as it is a novelty title and can't be used on any official documentation.

    Thus there can be many Lairds of John O'Groats.

    This man displays himself to be an even bigger fool than we first thought.

    Has he returned the camera "in the condition in which it was sent out", ie he's not damaged it further due to his meddlings?
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    Haven't looked at it myself, but my wife says to looks fine:beer:

    To be honest, I'm just glad to get it back in one piece and will try selling it again at a later date.

    It's a setting in the vBulletin boards.
    It can be disabled by the supermods, but obviously they want active it for some reason. (other forums have automerge double posts which would be bloody useful on here!)

    You can get round it though... :D
