    I don't think I was ever meant to stumble upon Takeshi's Castle. This can only end in a rehab stint.

    Got sick for the first time in easily ten years today. Nowhere near as bad as it was when I was a kid. Not even an aftertaste which I was dreading.

    OK I officially hate the bog! Footing turf is a punishment in my mind, and every summer I do it for my family and I hate it so much!!!

    I have relisted the item again on ebay.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm awful with computers.

    Does anyone know how you embed a tweet from twitter in a post on here so the actual tweet shows up in your post?

    After much deliberation I decided on adopting Jake. He's 5 years old, having spent the last 4 of them in Ash Animal Rescue. He's a beautiful, friendly dog, who deserves a second chance. And my thought was if I didn't adopt him, no one would.

    He's been a bit of a handful since I got him. He follows me everywhere, wagging his tail, which I love. However he's not the best with strangers, so I have to keep him close at all times when taking him for a walk. Once you get to know him he's very friendly and playful. He snores like a pig though :p

    *Sorry about the giant pic. No idea how to make it smaller.

    Always fun to have the Gardai at your door. Not that I want to go into why, but having a really ***** day right now, and only going to get worse. I've done nothing wrong, mind. But been told that as bad as today is, tomorrow could get a whole lot worse :(

    Hope everything ok man. Chin up.

    No way?! Are you watching the classic one with craig charles or the horrendous rehash they have done with two wasters?

    I had a look around for you and I don't think it's possible to do so on boards.ie. You could always just copy-pasta the text and the link. Print-screening/cropping/uploading is far too much work.

    Those were my thoughts too when I watched it recently and wondered where the hell Charles' voice was.

    I was like that when I saw Jumper in the cinema. Had no opinion on the film. It just was.

    I sold 10 separate DVDs on ebay last week and haven't got paid for 4 of them.

    Ridiculous that you cant leave bad feedback for buyers :mad:

    I thought the rule was that you can't leave bad feedback if the buyer has paid?

    If he hasn't paid, you should be able to leave bad feedback and also lodge a complaint. Unless the rule has changed again?

    To be honest selling stuff on ebay has become more hassle then it's worth for me now. You got listing fees, selling fees, paypal fees. I reckon it's better to use adverts.ie. But when using adverts, always list the item for a slightly higher price than you're willing to accept, because people always offer lower than the asking price.

    I got neg feedback once on eBay as a buyer. Reason - I had not received the DVD I bought after about a month. Your man negs me with "buyer refused to accept registered mail", which was bullshít. I went in and looked at all this dicks feedback, and every single neg he had, and there were a lot, he complained the same thing. I was new to eBay at the time so thats why I bought off him.

    Another eBay phenomenon which has pissed me off no end in recent years is sellers who do not leave feedback until you do so for them. So, as a buyer, I do not leave feedback, regardless of how well the transaction went, unless the seller does so first. Petty maybe but I have completed my part of the bargain first. I know put a note to seller on every purchase saying "I will not leave feedback for you unless you do so for me first." Works sometimes, others not.


  • Posts: 6,247 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I tried to leave Neg feedback and the only option it gives me is to leave positive feedback.

    Adverts is great with no fees etc but if you put up a €50 note for sale on adverts you'd get someone offering €20 for it.

    But as Charisteas said always put it up for sale for a bit more than what you are actually looking for.

    I always find it hard to sell wrestling DVDs on adverts also. Mustn't be too many wrestling fans registered on the site :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Don't know does it still exist, but UKFF.com is great for selling wrestling DVDs. Sold loads over the years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,987 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    If you're ever looking to sell on some wrestling dvds, give me a shout as I collect them from pretty much all promotions. Must throw up some pictures of my collection some time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Ill fire you a PM over the weekend. I have some Noah, Chikara, ROH, IWA:MS, PWG and of course some WWE originals I want to move on.


  • Posts: 6,247 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]
