Interlect on ebay
Or lack of it in this case.
Just read the descriptions of these 2 items and then lock at the first questions of each at the bottom of the page. Says a lot for the typical ebay
user doesn't it.

A bunded tank is a bit like a tank within a tank, you put the fuel into the inner tank. Any spillages are then caught in the outer tank (the bund) and
contained. The portable tanks I use at work have to have a bund volume of the tank + 10% so even if the tank is holed the bund will contain all the
spillage preventing pollution.

I sold a pair of Compomotive wheels not long back, the eBay title was "15x8" Compomotive CX split rims". First question, "What
size are the wheels?"

You don't until it spills over the top - clever really
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

One guy I used to work for tried to audit his desil carefully on a regular basis as we were in a eco-sensitive area.
He thought he was leaking into his bunding until someone charged £100 to tell him it had evaporated!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

She hasn't been in a 7 yet

I think I am a magnet for stupid people. Either that or there is some huge conspiracy against me where all my movements are monitored in an office
somewhere and people think up interesting new ways to annoy me.
Some of my ebay classics...
title and first line of item description...
"set of five alloys wheels pcd xx offset xx centre bore xx known to fit blah blah, may fit others."
first 3 questions asked me if there were 4 or 5 alloys for sale, I was then asked 22 times whether the wheels would fit whatever car they owned.
I sold a non-running car for spares. The guy bid up and won it, then backed out.
"sorry, just read that its a non-runner, didnt realise"
WTF? you buy a car on ebay without even reading the descrition?
"Delivery to Mainland UK only"
( i get good deals on couriers through work)
winner wants the item sent to sweden.
Selling springs and shocks...
"Hi, could you cancel my bids please, i have just bought some elsewhere"
"no, you bid, either you buy the item, cancel your own bid or hope someone esle outbids you"
he got all shirty in his replies so I ended up telling him to fxxx off. Im not normally a rude person but he really took the piss.
My favourite...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10404&item=4536320064
read the questions. I dont see how I could have been any clearer in my descriptions, yet I STILL get numpties asking the obvious.
Be afraid. Stupid people are everywhere. And most of them use Ebay.
