One track it might be, but the direction can certainly change. We're on a family friendly forum here.

This happened the other day, but I'm still annoyed lol

Well, I decided to strap the video cam to the front of the bike and go for a play on some of my favourite roads. I checked the camera before leaving and all was ok. So, off I went on a 2 hour ride, caning £15 in petrol...

Then, when I got back and went to watch the video I found that it had slipped after the first 15 minutes... and was pointing upwards for the other 1hr and 45 mins... almost 2 hours of blue sky lol... stupid clamp

Thinking about it made me laugh - gives you another reason to go do it again (but this time check the cam!)

Chaps, had I been as imaginative as any of you, I might have sold a few haunted houses and cut&shut cars by now. I was actully trying to sell on a karate gi which I bought from an earlier auction.

I wrote a rather stern message to fleabay, and this is the blurb I got:

Hello,

Thank you for your email. I understand that you're concerned about the
removal of your cotton karate Gi listing .

I reviewed your account and found that your listing was incorrectly
removed. We have now reinstated your listing. While we make every effort
to ensure that we only take action in cases where we have all relevant
evidence, unfortunately it appears that in this case, the action on your
account was taken in error.

We'll refund the listing fees for the listing we ended, and you're free
to relist your item from the "Unsold Items" section of My eBay.

Please be assured that keeping eBay a safe place to buy and sell is our
top priority. We apologise sincerely for any inconvenience this has
caused.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind regards,

That is what the washng machine is for!!

P.S. The auction is still at 99p.

Anyway, people who wear a size 3 gi are usually kids, or small women. We don't sweat nearly as much as you men. So I'm safe

Actually, I am trying to source a jujitsu gi. Any recommendations on the best bang for buck budget or mid-range gi?

That's good to know. Thanks for the tip. I'll see what the funny old world of fleabay will churn up.

It still doesn't explain what the reason for the "pull" was in the first place. It's this sort of frustration (plus many others) that stopped me using it anymore. I'm much happier when I can see the individual face to face and gauge for myself whether they're trying to sell me a pile of crap or not.

I try to treat people as I would wish to be treated. For example, when I sold Akira, I told the guy I had an off despite the fact there was no way in hell you could tell by looking at or riding her. I told him the problems I'd had with the carbs and the electrics. Again, these aren't things you would be able to find out even if you took the tank and fairings off because I like things to be repaired properly. However, I like to be upfront and honest about these things. Sadly there are far too many who couldn't give a sh1t as long as they make a buck.

I wish everyone would just tell it like it is when they're selling something.
