Hi David Bussell (rubbish name haha jk)
Do you know what 'jk' means? It doesn't mean joke (do you know this word too?). It means just kidding maybe your careers adviser should have said it to you hahahaha JK do you see? The thing with all this David B is that you seem to be throwing your weight around this comedy forum like you're all that. I have seen your website and you are not really anything sorry. Who are you? You are no better than the bullies at school really but at least have dignity these days in banks and that.
I'm sure we can get along just fine but please don't try and start arguments or whatever because its a bit sad and having seen your website I simply can't keep up with your Partridgesque brand of irony (how are the DVDs?)complete with ugly middleaged man makeup haha (why didnt I think of that???). It's too much for me!!!
You will probably reply with "1p" and I'm sure it'll be dead funny haha. However judgeing from the way people on here have responded to you in this thread alone it would appear they are sick of you too. I just hope you're OK inside!!!

Hi John,
First of all, let me apologise, people don't tend to react the way you just did unless they really feel like their back's against the wall. I promise you I'm not pursuing this matter to antagonise you, no matter what others might think. I saw you make an offer and took you seriously. I know it can be alarming when people behave authentically on a forum (particularly a comedy one) but that's all that's going on here. Clearly you've mistaken my intentions as something else and responded unkindly. That's fine, you misread my message, maybe you'd had a drink or two (I've seen your website and you look as though you might be "mad for it"), and you acted out in defence. No harm done, I am a Coogan fan as a matter of fact, and you're correct that I am middle-aged (assuming I die at 70).
It seems the confusion stems from your shorthand "jk" to mean joke. As you suggest, we are of different generations and I have a tendency to stop reading when I see an emoticon. Had I understood that you were "joking" I would never have embarked on this endeavour in the first place. I bought a projector on eBay recently for several hundred pounds and it wasn't half as trying as this rather perfunctory transaction turned out to be!
Rest assured that I now consider this matter closed and will not be bringing legal proceedings against you for a perceived breach of contract.
All the best,
David
