Must I bear the brunt of your eternal unfounded angst Benjamin?

Yes.

I think you're suffering from the modern condition.

What?  Tendonitus?

I think a reading of Huis Clos by Sartre will do you the world of good in dealing with it. It'll also hopefully make you retract your ridiculous and frankly spiteful bid for a vacuum cleaner that is at most, 25 pound at the recommended retail price. The joke my friend, is on you.

Erm, no.  That was the point of my £30 bid.  Je returnez le joke mon faux ami. 

[Monolith]

Can spite really be worth £5.00? You could buy all sorts of infinitely more satisfying goods for that sum. You could almost afford 10 minutes taking a ride on my tower of power.

I want this vacuum bad, I just can't get to it.

Can spite really be worth £5.00?

Not for a 2 litre bottle, most supermarkets have it for about a quid.  Never that keen on it myself, I much prefer Lemonade.

Not sold yet? Remember- it's cheaper than a blow-up doll...

And sucks a lot better too.

I hate to interject into this wonderful banter, but am I to understand that this cleaner by means of vacuum suction, is currently residing in the fair town of Sheffield? And is it not also true that the young gentleman, who so desperately required said cleaner, is residing in the... um... not-quite-so-fair-as-Sheffield town of Liverpool?

A dilemma... which I may be able to assist with.

I am myself residing in the area of Gwynedd, and on the end of my working week, be changing my whereabouts to that fair city in Yorkshire which was mentioned above. Then on the day of Mon, I will be returning home to my fair residence in North Wales.

I propose that my car of great emptyness, could be a vessel in which said cleaner (by means of vacuum), could be transported between these two great places.

What say you?

[GCW]

Who mentioned South Yorkshire?

Hey, Ben/ Mono:  I reckon this lad is offering to transport Cofe's UberSucker from Sheafland to Liverpool.

I expect Cofe has sold it by now 

[cofe]

i bought it off myself. it's a loophole in the whole buying/selling game - just sell shit to yourself. i'm making a killing this way.

the muthasucka is in sheff. monolith has a dirty floor. please, someone do the math.

I hope you pay VAT each time 

[Monolith]

I'll do the math cofe. My student loan came in today B.I.N.G.O!

It's cofe hoover removal time! Drew you could be the pawn in a major operation here. Only other thing I can think of is if you could leave it at the works, I'll send Dolph Adams down to pick it up seen as he's doing another pickup for me this week. Not sure the works boys will be too up for creating a storage room for my kooky purchases though.

[cofe]

let's see what balboa can do.

[Jaspersharpe]

I think you boys should be more discreet about your shady trading activities. Five-O will be all over this thread like a rash, not to mention HMRC. Cofe, I'm an accountant, you may need to speak to me soon.....

if its second hand goods then he only needs to pay VAT on any mark-up he's adding on. if he's selling to himself at cost then he won't need to pay VAT.

I did not know that:  you learn something every day.  Thanks, Dave, for that bauble.

Forgot to plug the Tesco Value Hand Blender. It's an awesome feat of engineering at the price (4-5 quid I think).

[cofe]

did you hear the one about the constipated accountant?

he worked it out with a pencil.

anyone want to buy a hoover?

[BenF]

Forgot to plug the Tesco Value Hand Blender. It's an awesome feat of engineering at the price (4-5 quid I think).

Are you selling one of these then? 

Does it come with a plug or not?  I thought it was illegal to sell eletrical goods without plugs, even those that don't need them.

My girlfriend's sister in law put her hand into a blender.  Made a mess of her finger and ruined the soup.  I think the blender was plugged in at the time.

Why do you need a machine that blends hands?  You some kind of sicko?  And is it only Value Hands it blends, or any hand?

[Monolith]

Make no bones about it ( ), the tesco hand blender is seriously good.

[Monolith]

Said reference to cofe's vacuum cleaner left me somewhat pensive as to what became of it? I had to leave behind the luxury of 119 Ashbourne and I suspect the floor there is worse than ever. Funny how things pan out...

[cofe]

freecycled the shit out of it i'm afraid word. said to see it go; it sucked. literally.

[GCW]

It's always good to get closure on a case like this.
I can sleep easy at night knowing you got resolution, Cofe.

[cofe]

exactly, i'll echo those sentiments.

[Monolith]

Probably been hardwired into a sex doll sadly. Such a waste.

And you'd have used it for something else?
