    Maybe not, but I've heard rumours that you're heavily into this biro thing :eek:

    Yeah, that's where I stab myself in the eye with a biro in preference to participating in another feedback thread :)
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    Sounds an odd prohibition.

    Or are the names obscene?

    Well rude as in a good old Anglo saxon word, rather than obscene.

    After a bit of googling I think I know what you mean.

    It doesn't seem an illegitimate use of the word to me. :)

    I sold my virginity on ebay.

    Don’t ask about the subsequent Non Performing Seller disputes. The shame is still with me. :D
