I do like Xmas dinner, Xmas day, boxing day, yesterday and tonight. Run out of leftovers now. 

I was glad to eat some turkey for a change 😜

    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

Like that we still have two homemade Christmas puddings 👍

I like pointing out obvious spelling mistakes on local paper Facebook pages 😄

 

Original post taken down and replaced with the correct spelling! 🙄😀

Now China mandate you wear masks in public, and you have to show a phone app to gain entry to places, and you... oh, I see what you mean! 😂

I did like the story of the Tesla on-board cameras catching the woman doing criminal damage, though:

https://www.carscoops.com/2021/12/tesla-sentry-mode-catches-uk-woman-keying-model-3-video-used-as-evidence-in-precedent-case/

Almost as good as the other recent story about 500,000 Teslas being recalled for safety reasons, ironically related to issues with the rear view cameras.

That woman needs to be teached a great lesson...someone has to teach her and make her comprehend that private property, even when that is called a car or a house or an object in generall, is not alllowed to be harmed or violated by anyone in this whole world... It is PRIVATE PROPERTY!!! She is a such so jealous woman with unexplained complexes...Hypothetically speaking, what if she was not able to have kids at all? Would she harm the other people's kids in general? Dangerous people living among us...

I am so angry with her...😡

Now, do you mean, you 'made an offer' and it was accepted? Otherwise, your post is very confusing LOL 🤣

It'll cost more than £15 to return them, tracked or signed for. 😉

Now, it's your turn to be confusing LOL If he is 'buying' them, if they are faulty, or not as described, the seller pays for the return 😁

I think you will find that they won't accept returns unless you purchase via paypal and even then they use every trick available to avoid contact despite the product being defective in the first place and they still refuse to pay your return postage regardless.

The only option that Ebay offer is PayPal. I'm assuming it's an Ebay sale as Emerald in their listings have a, 'make an offer' option. Never had an issue completing a return should item be faulty or not as described... (Been on Ebay for almost 20 years now)

Ebay have their own payment system now and seem to try and force it on you each time.  I doubt that's different for NI but might be?  Tbf, it's better for online banking as it goes through immediately, unlike PayPal that doesn't come out for a few days.

In addition, when you sell something, via PayPal you use to get payment through instantaneously, now, Ebay make you wait till the next day to get your money, and you have to ship it off via a 'confirmation of payment' message from Ebay - I like seeing the money 1st, but Ebay is just too big now to complain about LOL

Yep.  Cash on collection is a pain for the seller now as well.  The buyer gets a code that the seller has to scan (or manually input) before the money is released.

I've been on Ebay for over 20 years now, I'm so old, that I remember you use to have an 'option' to pay for an item by cheque! LOL
