Urgh, don't talk to me about monitors.

Was looking at this amazing ebay deal for a Dell 2405FPW (24" Widescreen bad boy) - Free delivery, and free soundbar (speaker attachment). Was going for £540 until the high bidder retracted his bid, to leave the high bid @ £525. :o

Waited until last 3mins to bid, when Ebay stopped responding. I couldn't believe it, I couldn't access Ebay for about 4 mins, didn't get chance to bid :evil: :evil: :evil:

Felt like crying, lol, Dell.co.uk has the monitor for £950ish

It is about 200 years old, ginger, and probably more efficient at creating ozone than displaying vibrant colours.[/pis[b][/b]sing on bonfire]

With all the regulations regarding disposal of items like that monitor you could probably have charged them to take it away. The price you got it for seems to me they were avoiding having to pay for it's correct disposal. Still you did indeed find yourself a bargain.

Dude, get the fock out of here. Thats a cool buy for a buck. What was the last thing you bought for a buck? A gummy bear? A blank for the guns that you're into? A Utah Jazz John Stockton lay-up playing card? A new spanker rag for your Brittney Spears MTV Flog-a-thon sessions? :P

Its a top buy! You know it.

I may have to define "business end" a little more clearly for the nutter. He probably thinks the grip is the business end as holding a pistol gives him a rush.

Not unless you want to end up like George Best, the poor bastard.

Instead of drinking, please think about the offensive discharge that is now gathering underneath my foreskin. It is yellow and putrid and has the consistency of scrambled eggs.
