Hee.
I bet the measurements were all over that listing. The silly mare.

I bet they weren't because you wouldn't be able to sell them otherwise. It was a joke sale I'm sure.

Nah, they were dollshouse cushions. There's a ton of dollhouse furniture on ebay, it often comes up when you search for any home stuff.

Apparently so. But I guess if you're not a habitual 'ebuyer' is easy to get excited and overlook.

I am finding eBay most frustrating at the mo myself as after the price, first thing I want to know is the size but so many sellers don't provide this information which I find a tad astonishing. :S

Don't know how they expect to sell it without telling you the size. People are idiots.
I guess they think the photos are self explanatory, but of course they aren't.

Yep - especially items that vary wildly in size such as key tassels which range from 3 to over 13cm! But most amazing was something where size is absolutely crucial, and I kid you not - buttons! I guess they were hoping for people who hadn't made the holes yet - you just couldn't make it up! Laughing out loud

But everything seems to have a comedy reference . . . I guess that's how a lot of comedy is written - from sheer frustration, and this issue puts me in mind of Ripping Yarns when Tomkinson builds a 1:1 full-scale model icebreaker.
. . . and if THAT was real and put on eBay as a 'model' - you'd naturally assume it was shelf sized!

(below is clearly a real one . . . just photographed far away in dry dock!):

I heard that it was (probably American) National Masturbation Month.

I hope the two are not linked.

No, that's Tossober in the late autumn just before Movember.

I doubt it.

It was the yanks who had Masters and Johnson.

Whereas the Russians annexed horses at the time of Catherine of the Great. Geek

You can always ask that on a question to the seller.

WTF? Liam Fee murder trial . . . bring back capital punishment right now!

Makes me so sad when shit no longer shocks us, but this is off the scale with two women. I hope they both get destroyed in prison then rot in hell.

So glad these inhuman bastards have been found guilty. I was seriously beginning to wonder whether they'd get off. Although their stories just didn't stack up, their lawyer sounded as if there might actually be a possibility of the other wee boy being involved. I assume the other 2 boys are the children of the big fat one. Unbelievable cruelty to all. Let's hope the sentence is very, very long.

It's one of those ones why you understand why they used to hang people.

Honestly if you don't like kids, f**ks sake put them up for adoption.

But then I guess they need the benefits.

I am not even a breeder - but put me in a room with a so-called 'human being' like that and I'd find an inner strength that would pulverise them regardless of physical build.

ANY bullying, intimidation or torture of any kind to any living thing smaller than you is so totally reprehensible that you shouldn't be afforded the slightest privilege such as oxygen.

These people should be flogged in public at the very least.
