[Gllug] email from my Mum

[Xander D Harkness]

It is not often that I see people forwarding messages to the list from 
their mothers; however this I thought was funny and sufficiently geeky 
(being from ebay)

'eBay is a weird and wonderful place. Take this advert for a car 
roof-rack for bikes. The seller starts his sales spiel with a detailed 
and straightforward description of the item before this happens:

"I used the roof bars once but never got around to using the cycle 
holders. You know how it is... 'If I buy you a bike, will you come 
riding with me darling?' 'Of course I will - buy me the most expensive 
bike in the store'... 'Oh, might as well get the most expensive roof 
bars as well'... 'And the most expensive bike holders too'

"Did she ever come riding with me? What do you think? So hey, we got 
divorced, and life was **** for a while, but it got better.

"Oh, by the way, don't be fooled by the happy couple printed on the 
outside of the box. They're only models (he's gay and she hates herself 
- cries herself to sleep).

"Oh well - buy these infernal cycle holders off me and try and sustain 
your relationship. Me? Well I never liked cycling anyway.

He adds: "(She got the house you know...)" '

Have fun
Xander
