This is my new section

Welcome to my new section - I make the rules around here so mind your P's and Q's and do as you are told. If you like my new section you must send me money. PM me and I will give you pay in details

I will swap a Rainbow for a Prestige 250.

I am the first to use this section so its really mine I suppose.

Hoax

Geez Graham you're fast! I am just in the middle of setting this new section up!
Imagine my surprise to see a post appear as I'm editing.
You were so fast you missed the snazzy new icon which I've now added to your topic line.
Cheers and good luck.

Oops didn't read the rules - No instruments!!

Ok I will swap all of the parts to make a Rainbow for all of the parts to make a Prestige 250.

Remember - this is my new section.

Hoax

Yeah Barry

I am faster than Fast Jack Mcfast (the world fast champion) but I want to set an enthusiastic tone for my new section.

Hoax

It's all good Graham, I just deleted that part so you're good to go!
I just didn't want this to get mixed up with the For Sale section, but I thought better of it.
Swap away.

Make up your mind you old duffer!

You are ruining my new section!!

Hoax

Honestly - I scoured the earth looking for decent Administrators and all I could get was Barry the Canard (French Duck)

The perils of editing live. There ain't no staging area.
And since we're world wide, there's always some old fart with an itchy trigger finger online waiting to muck it all up.

I love this sense of humor!!! Oh man, that's good.

I usually reserve this emoticon for Barry, but seeing as how this also fits for our "Star Among Men", here ya go....

Um, I think with all the banter, we may have obscured the original post content which was a swap offer.

The title gives readers not a clue what's going on, eh. So, well done you.

Sorry Barry, but no thread is too serious to leave unhighjacked.

You left the door wide open for me Barry, so it had to be done.

Hope everyone is enjoying my new section.

Just watch yourselves, as I am in charge!

Hoax

PS - It is Tuesday so I will probably be drinking later

"Probably"?

I don't have a Prestige to offer you but I do have something a bit smaller to start with.
Remember where all this online trading thing started a few years ago?
Yes that's right it, started with a paper clip . So in the true spirit of things that is what I am offering.
Think about it, one brand new paperclip of your very own.
I am willing to pay to pack and ship both your crusty dirty old Rainbow thing and my brand spanking new paperclip.
What more could you ask for...
Don't take too long to think this offer over or someone else might get in before you
Cheers

A paper clip. Geez, and I thought I was the cheep bastid!

Remember to start small Barry.
You can always work your way up

Mr Burger

Would you have the technical ability to do a nice relic job on your paper clip?

I could be tempted by a nice fifties style clip. You know that genuine worn in look?

Also some photos would help and does it it come with an original envelope.

Hoax

Good to see that my new section is beginning to become popular

Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do

Still working on the photos for you. I just can't seem to get the correct natural lighting to make this thing stand out.

If this is your new section Hoax youre not keeping it buzzing. 18-28

I am doing my best Greg. I am still waiting for the burger guy in Oz to come up with the vintage stationery and we might then see our first deal.

Hoax

I'm on it as we speak. I have had issues with adding pics to this thread so I have sent them to Corsair to post them for me. Now it is in the lap of the gods to when it will be done

That's great Don cause your Rainbow is almost ready. I just have the pink and green to do.

Do you want a few clouds or are you cool with just the rainbow? I am quite good at doing the sun. I usually put a smiley face on it.

Hoax

PS Between you and I Don, don't rely on that Corsair guy (Southern Hemisphere, Botany Bay, descended from criminals and all that sort of stuff) Sssshhhh!

I think you are talking about me here. That Corsair guy is a Kiwi so no landing at Botany Bay for his lot. I think his background is more Scottish (he still has his school lunch money tied in the corner of his handkerchief)

Forgot to mention that I would like my rainbow with the lot please.
Clouds, sun the whole box and dice

Hey Don

I was being deliberately wildly generic for comic effect and I know that you are an Oz and he is a Kiwi.

In some parts of the world (USA) people think that I am from Scadland County which is in the State Ingurland!

Of course John knows that he is welcome as a Scotsman anytime. Its good to know that he has his lunch money intact!

So Rainbow, clouds, sun (smiley) and I'll do wee house for you as well.

Now I'm all confussed.
Who's from where and why are we all here in the first place.
Now I feel that I need to visit Scadland County in the State of Ingurland to get to the bottom of it all .
Please tell me if I can get there by road or will I need a row boat to make the trip .

Just a wee house please, as if it's too big I'm sure someone will want to move into it to live

On one of my early trips to USA was in the hotel bar and got talking to a guy, he asked if Wales was in London and went on to enquire if we had tv. Logie Baird sprang to mind.

Here's one for you. A dumb friend of my wife was on holiday and met a couple from Pennsylvania.

She asked the guy if that's where Dracula came from to which he replied,

"No Ma'am, I believe that might just be Transylvania."

I suppose its an easy mistake to make if you are f****n' stupid, and she is!!

Hoax

I, to, have suffered from geographic ignorance, i.e.....

Whereabouts in Australia is New Zealand, exactly?! and ...

Is New Zealand close to New Jersey? and - my personal favourite! -

Do they speak English in New Zealand?! Wow?!

Now, i am bound to say, that these - and many other pearls of wisdom - have been disseminated by North Americans, and specifically, US citizens!

Do you fellas not have geography books in the US?!




(...couldn't find a stirring smiley!!, so poop hitting the fan will have to do!)

I think that my new section is working really well. I'm glad that I instructed Barry to set it up.

Hoax

Your whim is my command, oh pickled one.

Right, my miserable mob of miscreants.... I have an opportunity to offer you all a very rare, limited edition paperclip!



It is in the unusual cream finish - which was limited to only 35,000,000!!! - which in this case has faded to a lovely creamy buttermilk.
As you can see, it has some dings and knocks, but that only means it has been used as it was meant to be; there are no structural issues at all for this 28 year old piece of steel!!
This example still has the 3 curves, which this particular model was renowned for and will make the buyer very happy indeed!

This comes with the OEM case, which is in very good nick...



... which cossets the clip to a 'T'!!

Hey Burger that is one cool clipocaster!!

I am putting the finishing touches on the Rainbow. By that I mean that I will quickly scribble it tonight when I am half pissed.

Not just cool my friend but the coolest one every made

Don't rush with the rainbow as it needs to be perfect to even be considered for this deal, as this is a one of a kind paperclip

Is that the lockable case and do you still have the key?

Never mind about the case and key Iano the deal is almost done.

Feast your eyes on this beauty Burgerboy!!!




Hoax

Captures the essential elements of a summer day in Central Scotland.

Yeah Robert - Not bumming my own load - but it has turned out really well. Still got one or two touches to do but that can wait for some more artistic inspiration to build up.

I think Big Mac will jump at it, but right now he is probably sleeping upside down in Australia.

Can you add a couple of trees please it just looks a bit bare without then.

I'm also starting to think I will need to change my name from eyebulger to eyeburger

That is a fantastic idea Big Mac. What about "Burger King"

Hoax (funny guy in his own honest assessment)

For some reason I can't get 'Dark Side of the Moon' out of my head. Are you sure this isn't a preliminary sketch for the album cover that you're trying to pass off as your own work.

OK

I have been found out. I didn't do it. It was my boy. I did give him some artistic direction but on the whole he ignored it.
