Please gentle sirs, be kind to one who is english not good. I am from Australia but did move to London now and would like you to kindly send this, your item, to my godson who is studying the bible in Lagos, Nigeria.

During the past week I have had not one, not two, but three dodgy bids on a mobile phone I had for sale on eBay. They were all virtually (but not quite) the same and all had postal addresses in Lagos.

Two of the scammers sent very good fake PayPal receipts that looked almost like the real thing.

Here’s what to look for if you feel a bit uneasy about the activity on your item: (more…)

It’s been a while since anyone wrote a (good) post.

I guess it has been an uneventful few months:

Rudd toppled the tyrant with Mandarin, Corey Worthington impressed the world with his intelligence and good teeth, Rob Mitchell officially contests the McEwen result, two relatively unknown tennis players compete in the Australian Open final, Federer was a bad sport, free porn on your mobile phone, Heath Ledger died, Oz gave up smoking again, Britney Spears is mental, Owen Wilson attempted suicide, James Packer is a Scientologist, Nicole is pregnant, David Hicks isn’t in the news, bogans misbehave at the Big Day Out, Terry Gilliam has had another movie disaster, Obama is ahead in the polls, everyone I know is getting married, the Biggest Loser is coming back to TV and Lost is coming back for yet another season.

Also, the other night at dinner I had a waitress whose name is Oneness.

So much gold!

What a bunch of slack asses.
