Re: Amusing EBay listing

At least paying with Paypal the "buyers" could get their money back if all wasn't to their liking. Perhaps goods not as described, faulty, inadequate "package"!

We were thinking of posting our own auction (starting at 38p) and we looked at "sell similar items" first and found this ......

They've stolen our idea ..........

Still, our draft advert trying to tempt two lovely young ladies to the pre-season friendly between Hyde United and Droylsden staying in the sublime Travel de lodge in nearby Ashton-under-Lyne didn't have the same ring to it.

Never mind. Plan B is quickly being drawn up .........

Yeah right .... might I suggest the lenses you recommended to Mrs Woody are just a tad too powerful!

You'd be taking a huge risk ... supposing they were the untidy type ... you could end up with a nightmare scenario looking something like this...

Huh! Woody, I had you down for a "new man" ... like myself! ... What's wrong with you helping out around the house? ... I tried it once, but the missus said I didn't have a clue .... never done it since...
