I mean, if he's legit then fair enough. I feel sorry for his circumstances if thats the case. but to use the disability card to get me to sell it to him at my starting price on the auction then drop it off to him part way across london where he will pay on delivery sounds very very fishy to me.

I'm assuming this would also be beneficial to be done outside of eBay, yea I'd steer clear tbh and in all honesty not many people need a 860w psu so if he truly does then he has some high end gear to go with it so low balling you and also trying to get free delivery is a bit of a cheek if you ask me

Buying from Ebay you pay the asked for price ( or offer )
if its Gumtree i will ask about Delivery and explain my circumstances

Exactly, I think some people just expect too much. If we're inconveniencing a seller with awkward delivery requirements it's a bad idea to try to haggle at the same time! :rolleyes:

I sold my last 3570k rig with 16gb ram, 290x, 120gb ssd, 1tb hdd, evga gold psu and corsair carbide case for £440 2 months ago, was still low to me cause of the quality of the parts in it, it's not one of these crap generic builds that are ten a penny on eBay with a half decent processor and junk for the rest of the build, someone offered me £200 and I can pay cash they said like that was doing me a favour cause I put it on auction from 99p like I always do on eBay if I'm confident in getting near my asking price, I promptly tell these chancers where they can stick their offer..... :mad::nutkick:
 
Yet another attack on home soil now in the capital, I'm sick to freakin death with these fanatics, they need tarred and feathered and hung up for all to see.
 
Hi Brits, just coming by to support you! Hard times and hard decisions coming... But you have won over IRA, so no need for lessons. Just like with ETA: attack their financials and jail their unarmed supporters too.... ;) The sooner the better. And International police cooperation is crucial.

Warm regards!
 
Well these arseholes also kill their own like there's no tomorrow. Suicide bombing a Kabul funeral.

Apparently 3 piled out a van after using it as a weapon then started knifing people having a night out. All were shot dead by police.
 
Stay safe guys. Yet another one.

Unfortunately there will be more. Once we're not part of the EU, maybe we'll be out of the ECHR and then we can deport anybody linked to even a whiff of fanaticism.
 
Brilliant metropolitian police reaction. 8 minutes? :respect::toast:

I dream of deportations to ...Mars, to dig the worst part building a colony there...
 
Dyfed Powys policing area has 44 armed officers out of a total of 1112 sworn in Police . (This probably means there are about 10 on duty at any time.) It has a population of over 488,000 and covers a land mass of over half of Wales.



I think there should be more armed officers.

I agree there needs to be more resources available to the cops for response units, given the situation.

However targets are likely to be heavily populated areas so I would hope rural Wales is not under threat.
 
I like how the UK government is approaching this. Instead of addressing the problem because its not politically correct, they instead praise massive camera use and want to limit free speech on the web. Personally it seems like they are creating laws/regulations that will do ZERO to address the problem and at the same time give them more power. Reminds me of the democrats here in the states. They just pass "feel good" laws to make people feel good and never address the real issues. Facts are a stubborn thing. Sometimes you cant do what is popular but, what is right.

Or am I being mislead by our media again?

Also the marathon scene with the officer arguing about a wookie and a bear suit

The problem is how the West has plundered the middle East and propped up dictators when it suited them and toppled them when it didn't.
Islam has co-existed peacefully for centuries until after the world wars. Then the West carved up it's Anglo-French colonies and abandoned the Arabs to their own devices.
It's easy to hate the West when you're constantly portrayed as collateral damage in a global push for democracy.
Likewise, colonial guilt means we don't enforce harsher entry requirements. It's unacceptable to force your minority view onto a established culture.
Integration is essential. Allowing pockets of mini-countries to exist isn't good at all.
And fwiw, I would not allow the face veil in an open and democratic country. The veil is not Islamic, its purpose is not clearly defined in the Quran. It's men telling people what to do, not god's word.

Oh look, while we say we want to do something about terror, it would be inconvenient if the UK and US's biggest foreign sales ticket is actually a terror sponsor. I mean, in a country where a woman can be lashed for driving alone, who'd have thought the country was a basket case ruled by cock buns whoi despise us but love gold plated cars. #fucksaudi. #post-will-be-moderated.

Mrs May looks like she's trrying to suppress the report Cameron started. It would be awful if those lovely Brit & US loving sheikhs who buy billions of $/£'s of arms were in any way state sponsors of Sunni based militant islamism. Oh wait - we all know they are.

Of note:

Since 2010 Britain has also sold arms to 39 of the 51 countries ranked “not free” on the Freedom House "Freedom in the world" report, and 22 of the 30 countries on the UK Government’s own human rights watch list.

They are trying to hide the evidence. Because you dont need to know who they sell their arms to. I wouldnt be surprised if we were selling Brimstone missiles to the U.S & other countries too despite the Gov saying its something they absolutely won't do.

To your note we don't need the Brimstone missiles. We have had a variant of it for YEARS now. I mean almost 20 years now.

Well, we vote in 2 days time and if we dont want a conservative mandate pushed through we need to get a hung parliament. We don't have an equivalent of the US Patriot Act that came in under Bush but we have similar laws that can be used though these are somewhat curtailed. The UK and Europe are still remarkable free countries and we get to do our daily stuff without hassle.

As for 1984, that's Facebook. It listens to you and although it's for marketing it holds your keywords. I'd rather the Government knew my words than a private billion dollar social media construct. But then, FB allows fanaticism and beheadings as well so yeah, fuck Zuckerberg.
 
I was just saying to a friend that in these troubled times. UK laws and regulations should be amended so that civilians can carry non lethal forms of self defense like mace, pepper spray or a baton.

It wont prevent you from getting run over by extremist fanatics but if they are running after you or other members of public while brandishing a bladed weapon. It gives you a chance to subdue the attacker till the police arrive.

In this day and age where police numbers are at the lowest while the risk of being mugged, stabbed or attacked by terrorists has gone up. Allowing the public to arm themselves could completely turn the tide when it comes to life and death situations like the london bridge attack.

There will obviously be those muppets who will abuse this and use the pepper spray to mug people. But those kind of attacks should carry some heavy sentences.

Because its fucking dumb that we have to rely on everyone else to defend ourselves or what's on hand at the time when the attacker is standing right in front of us.

An attacker entered a coffee shop or something and the people inside beat him back by throwing tables and chairs at him...

Could things be anymore desperate?
