She was around for the closing seconds on ebay to make the bid so would have known they won at the time.
How do you know she was?

She could have used a sniping website. I used to.

ETA: I see someone has already pointed out she may have used a sniping tool. And you seem to reacted by saying sniping is akin to murdering babies with hammers.

Is the word bh that bad, it seems some on here have had to go and have a little cry about it, maybe if Lucy Letby is found guilty the judge should just call her a bh and let her go.

I'm not sure why everyone associates being a bit miffed at someone equals blowing your top, its perfectly possible to be calm yet angry at the same time.

And yes the package was picked up this morning, I would have posted it yesterday if the post office bothered to open on Mondays, I was even going to traipse across town with 2 packages in the rain until someone pointed out the collection service was free.

I do that because its the decent thing to do, even though I could have waited until today to take them there. I know people get impatient when they are expecting a package and it doesn't turn up, that's why I waited outside the post office for half an hour instead of going back the next day.

Sometimes you just do the decent thing, I ordered a tonne of sand of my local builders merchants the other day, he said the delivery wagon was off the road but leave it with him. The next day a fork lift truck arrives with the bag hanging off the front, he drove it a mile and a half at about 3mph down the road so I got the sand as soon as I could. He didn't have to, he could have said tough you will just have to wait or go somewhere else.

What's even more bizarre is repeatedly asking me to apologise, lets say I wanted to apologise, to quote Jim Davidson "who would you like me to apologise to?"

It cant be the woman as I've never met her and she is totally unaware I've called her anything, and it cant be you lot because its not possible to get upset on someone else's behalf who you have never even met and might not even exist.

So who should I apologise to?

So are you now saying you have made the whole thing up?
No, I'm saying it could be a bloke or a company or whatever, people rarely use their own name in their user ID, this one had a womans first name followed by some random numbers.

If the buyers name was usama_bin_laden**911 I'd probably cancel the bid, if it was floozy_susie123 I wouldn't.

Errr
Don't you have the name and address of the person who bought the item and is it a womans name ?
Not before they've paid I dint think, I just went by the user name

Ah. I did suspect. School hols. Well done.
I read a fair few posts on here and this always gets mentioned, do you really think kids have nothing better to do than go on a spurious web site they have never heard of and concoct a lengthy and elaborate story taking their day up just to wind up some old duffers they have never heard of either. When I wanted to wind folk up as a kid we would knock on doors and run away, things like that. when we were older we'd get a mates old shed, put L plates on it and then stall it in a major junction in the middle of the city, now that was fun.

As you can see, until she/him/whatever's name ends with 2a, so no, I didn't have the proper name at the time, just a user name looking like a girls name.

Yes, I've blanked a lot of the page out as I know there are a lot of head the balls on this site that will go all out to sleuth who it is and contact them just so they can get internet points from the "big players" for posting the fall out. I also don't want psycho evaluating on my choice of favourites.

So if I have left anything in that identifies me or her, please let me know instead of going Columbo on it.

More interested in the hidden bookmarks that are clearly absolute filth.
It doesn't make any odds though does it, they could be all hard left union type sites, gay pride and dog bummers.com or on the other hand they could be all ultra right wing hitler appreciation society types, or even anything in-between and I would still get endless stick because that's what internet folk do.

As it happens two of them were my business email address and my personal email address. As for porn I don't keep them in my favourites, thats what incognito mode is for, we dont want granny coming round to watch eastenders and end up staring at BBC.
