I had a little cheeky bid on that last night, great price for a bridge layer. Might have a spare cannon for it around somewhere if you need one.
Thanks scooby i'll see what turns up.
CIA got you pushing to many pencils.

Eddie, did you follow my instructions to the letter? I'm curious as to whether I can skip on the making coffee stage.

Welcome to the forum, Rogue75!

Would I? I like that though - very Gene Hunt 70's cop! "SHUT IT - AND GET ORF MY MANNAAAA"

Although the Deadpool "In answer to your first question, Shaddup" line did get a bit tiresome in the end.

Am I making any sense today at all? Or should I say any less sense than normal?

Sorry, my inane ramblings were such I almost forgot to welcome Rogue75 aboard!

That is NOT how to ebay.

I only ever bid at 7 seconds remaining. All you had to do was wait, there's no need to be top bidder for the duration of the auction.

Two days before end of auction. Bookmark the auction, and set your alarm for five minutes before closing.

Five minutes before end of auction, alarm goes off. Switch on your PC.

Four minutes to go. Put the kettle on.

Three minutes to go. Open up the auction screen on two separate windows. Enter your proxy bid in the right hand window, click submit and let the confirmation page load. Left screen displays the countdown, right screen displays the Confirm bid button. Place your cursor icon over the button.

Two minutes to go. Make a brew.

30 seconds to go. Put your finger on the trigger.

7 seconds. :sniper:

0 seconds to go. Drink your brew of victory. No anxiety required.
Gotta say this does work just peeing alot due to the extra tea in the last few days
