Yeah, join the club Karl. Some of us don't let it turn us into judgemental people though. (For greater clarity I messaged Karl privately to quash this 'debate' and was swiftly rejected). I learnt and grew from my issues and don't act vindictively against others because of it. Hence my adversity to being called a bully for things that are as light hearted as can be. Lets all just have that damn beer already!!!

@karlfer enough mate, pots been stirred, let's let it lie. Back to business as usual.

The comment about 'generation snowflake' is completely genuine, in my mind it is absolutely true. Unfortunately/fortunately for me my skin is fairly thick, most likely from various life experiences... Nothing that was said by me was intended as hurtful, spiteful or otherwise, however I do find it unnerving that such low key 'banter' can cause such a backlash of finger pointing and claims of bullying. I wonder how some would actually handled sustained and real bullying? And let me tell you unequivocally, this sir, is not that. I will bow out from further comment as I feel all that needs to be said is said. @Dov65 if I offended in anyway, then I apologise. But from where I stand nothing of the sort occurred. Good evening gents. Let's have a beer and shake hands!

Sanctimonious bullying? Little bit stern? Having re-read the entire thread I can't see anything that remotely could be classed as that. A small amount of banter maybe, an open and jestful discussion on the nature of text talk and someone's personal experiance reading/typing with dyslexia. If we all get so offended by the conversation had on this thread then what hope do we have of future generations having any ability to cope with a single misplaced word being said. Nothing that was written is remotely offensive to me (yes I known offense is subjective) and if it is offensive, it is offensive in the mildest manner (usually considered 'bants'), and if that is too much for some then I find it all a little disheartening! But if any of those remarks regarding 'bullying' were aimed at me, then I will curb my thoughts and word myself more carefully going forward. Sorry to rant, but I just find it all a little silly.

Guy seems pretty honest to me in his description... no hiding of issues or anything.

After a quick Google I found no such 90s Photoshop teacher called Shirely Nott. HOWEVER... this guy IS called Shirley Knott, I didn't take the time to find out who he is, but his hair must be stopped immediately.

This post should be renamed 'Free English lessons for all!'

BigRedX, I literally agree with every word you've written, and in my simple and somewhat less constructive way, you have said exactly what my original comment was trying to express! (in an albeit much more tongue-in-cheek manner!) To grammar and all its enemies!

I knew as soon as I wrote that message that someone would pipe up with a similar response! Proper generation snowflake!

I couldn't understand half of what I just read so sympathise with the woman from eBay!

Maybe the other half has sunk into the floor?

I would think that one of three things will/has happened... 1: They've already been snapped up. 2: They've been snapped up and will shortly be for sale again at thrice the price. 3: He's been told they're worth more and will be re-list at a higher price. We shall see! Hopefully one of us BCers will grab them and enjoy them!

Messaged him on both. Will definitely be having these if its legit!

I wouldn' touch it either but there is some value there... Got to be worth £30-£40 or so in various spare part at least.

Sometimes... just sometimes you can find treasure in a Cash Converters. I found a Warwick Vampyre Through-neck in the Basildon branch, it was serial number 0001 which when discussed with Warwick turn out to be the very first Vampyre ever sold. It's a rare day, but sometimes you can find very interesting stuff.

I know... it's a curious place to find such a beast. Very glad it has been put back into service, a Sei like this doesn't deserve to rot away in a corner!

This was mine! Very glad to see it back up and running... I actually found this hiding in a dark corner of a cash converters of all places! Due to it having a small body and me having a big body it just would never look right on me! But I couldn't leave it to die in a freakin' cash converters!!! Glad you're happy with it Kevin! I'm more than happy with the Overwater.
