Hi Ladylauraac - I've not used any websites to resize picture, but I use The Gimp for most graphics work. It's a free download for Windows, OSX, and Linux.

There's a guide on resizing pictures at...

Thanks Likkleangels and Val - I sent the buyer an email on purchase (BIN purchase) with payment info, and sent a subsequent email asking him to verify his card.

I had no further response from the...

I had a sale 12 days ago. In spite of my payment terms stating that I accept pppay payments from verified users only, the buyer made payment by pppay. I have sent two messages to the buyer since,...

Arsenal v Tottenham DRAW
Bolton v Charlton AWAY
Everton v Birmingham HOME
Newcastle v West Brom HOME
Portsmouth v Sunderland DRAW

I get I don't know how many messages offering p*nis enlargements, get it up pills, diets, and hair replacement. Very humiliating - apparently I'm a fat bald git with tiny tackle who can't perform:)

You'll get sixteen statements posted to you each month - all with Nigerian postmarks:)

SCART and USB leads now listed - £1.99 for the SCARTs, and £1.74 for the USBs, including postage to UK addresses.

Thanks Saleman - that explains it, I've got popups completely blocked. Can't help wondering how close a relationship Ebay and the Post Office maintain.

Yes, your seller has overcharged, BunjeesPiggiesPoochins - most sellers do add a little to the postage cost to cover packaging, but I think £2.30 is a little excessive. Was postage stated on the...

£2.98 is the correct price for a 1st class recorded parcel - includes 1st class postage at £2.30 and Recorded Delivery fee of 68p.

Have a look at the adslguide.org.uk forums at http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/ - comments on the TalkTalk board don't really inspire confidence.

That said though, I'm quite tempted by their phone only...

Details of PPPay.com escrow are at https://www.pppay.com/help_centre.php?mo=escrow. It doesn't cost the seller anything, but there is a 99p surcharge for the buyer.
Never used it myself, but be...

I sent an email to support about it - I've just looked again, and the postcodes have gone.

Thanks for that Gaz / Mark (sorry, but I still don't like the new look).

Don't like it at all - on a listing the larger typefaces, and irregular block spacing look - can't think of a more appropriate term - tacky.

Feedback and seller's list pages look an absolute mess...

And here's another - http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/england/devon/4754572.stm

Is it true there's no such thing as bad publicity?

No snow here in Weston - just the usual rain. Plenty of snow on the way home tonight though, over the top of the Mendips.

Whereabouts in the SW are you by the way Damian? Your mentioning no...

Pachelbel's Canon - kids in bed, missus at work, I'm unwinding:)

Hi Inchy,

apologies if you've already tried this, but your memory will have to be a PC2700 with a Sempron - PC2100 will normally not work, and will produce an error.

I've dug out an...

Mine comes up with Knock Three Times, by Dawn - not quite my taste, but never mind

The Men They Couldn't Hang - Night of 1000 Candles.

Starting to convert some of our CDs to mp3s - first time I've played this in years, forgotten how good some of the albums we've got are.

Have a look at this one on Ebuyer - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=99084. No wifi though, so if you need that you'll have to...

Try www.ebuyer.com - I think you'll find their prices hard to beat for retail. I make orders with them frequently, and have never had a problem.

Fully agree Lady Laura - I made the mistake of allowing a friend who had been suspended by Ebay put a couple of payments through my Paypal account, and was promptly suspended myself by Ebay. My...

Cadeaux, if you're considering a kitchen with fitting check who they use to install it, and if you can see some examples of their work. A friend of ours had a kitchen from MFI - it was fitted by the...

There are details at the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4569908.stm. Looks like TNT and DHL are the two major companies involved at this stage.
I'm not so concerned about the actual...

New Britain? GWB's 51st state - with Tony Blair as the Governor?

You missed some sport with this - I get quite a few emails telling me I'm the only surviving member of my family, and am in line to inherit millions, or that a Nigerian bank clerk's stashed a million...

Got a DVD, VHS, Skybox, console, Freeview, or anything else you need a scart lead for, for Christmas? I'm selling scart leads for as little as £2 each, including postage to UK addresses.

And how long before the oil companies put up the price of fuel to cover restocking costs, or whatever they call it this time? Grasping b*st*rds.

Don't mind the odd drop of cider at all - I live just down the road from Thatchers (http://www.thatcherscider.co.uk/) and go past every night on the home from work. If it's been a bad day a bottle...
