001 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Re Gibberish. If you look at the Picasso seats that the seller is offering as other items they are properly described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Posted by Shaunie on 20/08/2013 20:00:37: Posted by savedbytheground on 20/08/2013 19:28:18: Maybe not all of us have the pleasure of English as a first language or not affected by Dyslexia.... I shall be bidding on this one. My thoughts exactly. However if this is the case the seller really ought to seek some assistance if only to maximise the bidding. Or the seller could just be too lazy or bone idle to spell check of course . C'mon, the spell check can only so so much!!! If I type "eyem silling ma plines onn ebay, ei wint to crear siome spice", what would the spell check make of that? It comes out with: Gibberish. QED.

Paul Marsh Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 ...I'm not on the M8! I know what you mean, people use Mobile phone speak, so "Mate" is m8 and "you" goes as "u", and so on. Trying to decypher such a sentance takes a bit of cpu run time: brain power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Read 2 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Apart from being described as a 'three wing biplane' this looks quite interesting. Anyone recognise the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunie Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's the text and Chav speak that gets me most. To be honest if people can't be bothered to type properly, read it back through and then spell check it, then quite frankly I can't be bothered to read it. I know a lot of punctuation is slightly fluid but to not even try to stick to the basics annoys me. Shaunie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin b Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Hi Brett. He's been on before. Looks like army surplus stuff to me. The trailer could probably be modified for high speed loading of hay bales. kevinb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like somebody is missing a large chunk out of their dining-room table! and shaunie i totlally agre abut the spolling und grammar cos sometimes it really is hard wrk tring to wurk out wot they are on about innit and u loose the will to live sumtimes first person to see will by it and why do they use sucj huge font sizes and silly colours i dont no Actually, going back to the three-winged biplane, I often find it amusing to see what other items a seller has for sale. In this case an old 35mm SLR camera body, several second-hand angle grinders and a Jaguar brake pedal and slave cylinder. You can't help wondering what happened to the rest of the Jaguar!

TheFlyingCrust Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Blandford in sunny Dorset. There's a Royal Signals Regiment base just outside the town, also Bovington with Tank Regiment and Tank Museum. Maybe to do with Tank Regiment and the Lulworth or Salisbury Plains firing ranges. Tony. Motor looks like an OS 160 twin. £770 at Steve Webb models! Ian Edited By Rentman on 26/08/2013 23:30:10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Why would anyone buy a wreck for that amount of money? I got a L4 Chris Golds Cub for £85, that came with futaba 617 2.4rx, four futaba servos, SC 52 four stroke, battery, switch,prop,etc. Basically a RTF plane which flies well for the same price. Mad.

kevin b Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 **LINK** Here's a good one. Nothing wrong with it, but started about 4 weeks ago at £50.00, 2 weeks ago at £40,00 and now at £30.00. Another few weeks and he'll be giving it away ! It says foam wing, but I thought these had a styrene "blown" type wing. It's probably me that's got it wrong, again ! I know there was a thread about these not long ago, so it should sell. At the right price. kevinb.

Daithi O Buitigh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I suppose the NiCad pack here would be worth the 50p (if you don't mind the rest of the stuff coming with it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless relating its history without paperwork to prove its provenance.But even its history is of no importance to anyone outside the family.
