Does anyone know how to cancel a bid on E-Bay?
I put in a bid for a "Mickey Mouse Outfit", and now it seems I am only six minutes away from owning the bloody Richmond Football Club!

Paint will not stick to an intended surface without adequate primer. Drips and paint spillage will stick to unintended areas/furnature/skin, like the proverbial to a blanket, without any preparation.:(
WELL, its been a while but Ive been studying my surroundings and learnt many things....
I learnt what's Irish and stays out all night? Yep Patio Furniture. I learnt what you call a country where everyone drives a red car? A red carnation.
But enough of that, Ive been shocked at things, at work we had to attend a disturbance at a shopping centre anyway, long story short, the Energizer Bunny arrested - he was charged with battery.
I have learned that a pessimist's blood type is always b-negative. And that a Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. I found after a deep sleep that my new Corduroy pillows are making headlines. When you dream in colour, it's a pigment of your imagination. And that every morning is the dawn of a new error. But on the up side a boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat!!.
I went on a cruise and learned that sea captains don't like crew cuts. I had a lot of spare time and learned that Reading while sunbathing makes you well, red.
Just as an aside, Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
Ive learned that a successful diet is the triumph of mind over platter. And a gossip is someone with a great sense of rumor. I believe that a man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. I like Dijon vu - the same mustard as before. I watched as two egotists meet, it was an I for an I.
After a long trip I learned a bicycle can't stand on its own because it is two-tired. I learned other stuff too, like the definition of a will. (Come on, it's a dead giveaway!) I hope not to die any time soon but I must ask,, If you don't pay your exorcist, will you get repossessed?
I studied English literature but all I found was that a backwards poet writes inverse. Without geometry, life is pointless. I learned that in democracy your vote counts. In feudalism, your count votes.
I realised that a chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion. Acupuncture is a jab well done. Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.
My wife says I don’t pay attention but I know that with her marriage, she got a new name and a dress. It Was a Shotgun wedding ( you know A case of wife or death.)
I saw lots of opal mining injuries that could be avoided but show me a piano falling down a mine shaft, and I'll show you a flat minor. Speaking of injuries did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication.
I did a history course, it was brilliant, I learned lots....like did you know that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers? Yes, it's true. But, unfortunately, all the bowling league records were destroyed in the great london fire, so we will never know for whom the Tells bowled.
The worst part was I kept getting lost, let me explain ,I used my grandfathers compass, an 1853 Tate Compass. In 1853, the Tate Watch Company of Connecticut decided to branch out and produce other products. Compasses for the settlers travelling inland were their first new endeavour. Although they produced fine and accurate watches, the same was not true of their compasses. Travellers would sometimes end up in Perth or Darwin instead of Adelaide or Melbourne. Thus came about the phrase, "He who has a Tate's is lost."But when its all said and done, Ive learnt a few things....
Cheers

Al GORE was vice president to President CLINTON. He was preparing to stand for the presidency, His wife is Tipper GORE.
Tipper Gore discovered that her husband's great great uncle, Gunther Gore, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Tennessee in 1889.
The only existing photograph shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Gunther Gore; horse thief. Sent to Tennessee Prison 1883, escaped 1887. Robbed the Tennessee Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."
After letting President Clinton's large staff of professional image consultants review this discovery, they took the following actions to assist Al's campaign to become our next president.
They decided to crop Gunther's picture, scan it in as an enlarged image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that is seen in the final picture is a head shot.
Along with this enhanced photo, the accompanying biographical sketch was sent to the Associated Press:
"Gunther Gore was a famous cattleman in early Tennessee history. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Tennessee railroad company. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his business enterprise with the railroad. In 1887 he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889 Gunther regrettably died suddenly during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform on which he was standing collapsed."
Ive learnt that its not a lie, its just the wording....:D
feel free to join in!
