I would like Hibs to hump County.....by at least 5 goals

Im wondering how much of this hoo ha is down to the OP taking the hump and blowing it all out of proportion, as younger ones are prone to doing. I know myself I do happen to check my Direct Debits have been taken on the agreed date. BUT, i know many people dont, and i dont think that it unreasonable. If i was the OP.....i would be shifting the blme here and saying the credit company entered a legally binding agreement, to take an agreed ammount on an agreed date, and they failed to act with reasonable skill and care, thus leaving you with an acrued debt, thro no fault of your own!

Why should the way they handled you stop you supporting a team? We all know its run by a bunch of amateurs who are clueless. Not reason enuff to stop supporting a club tho. Things will seem better in the morn, and you may even feel like disowning the above post!

So....question is...how many of the 33 points can we reasonably hope to pick up before end of the season, to hopefully see us promoted? I reckon anything less that 23 and we wont do it

Useless twats!!

Dundee have scored!

I was watching Question Time on thursday night. Will Self made a very good point....he sed....in this country, we like to think of this individual as a monster and a cold blooded killing machine. Will Self stated that he himself had read all the papaerwprk regarding the case. By all accounts, the two "killers" were in fact two very frightened and confused 10 yr olds who had very little understanding of the seriousness of what they had done! Thought i would just throw this into the mix!

TREE i think is correct...it was a tuck shop. i was in two minds as to what it was....but do remember it selling crisps and juice etc.

A particularly good age to be especially if you went to the high school! Im also 39 going on 40 but most people say i've never actually grown up, long may that last. I did go to the High School...1982-86. Were you in my year?

Scotty...do you ever remember a sort of youth club that used to be right opposite the Baths. I can remember going in there a few times in the past. Im sure it was just a little shed thing...but cant really remember much about it.

Im 39....40 in May......but dont look it. I have been asked if i was over 25 before!!

He did....it showed ya on Football Focus. John Terry held out his hand......Wayne bridge ignored him and shook hands with the next person! Was quality!!!

To be fair there are some HL teams that would easily hold there own in div 3. I would have agreed with that in years gone by Alex.....but IMHO...it is no longer true. I mean...Look at Elgin City!

I dont think Butch must rate someone tht highly if he farms him out to Highland League team. The HL is no standard at all these days!

Getting spat on is an absolute disgrace, not to mention a filthy thing to do....IF it happened! What a way to treat one of the clubs biggest "Heroes" from their heyday! Thats the reason i cant stand Aberdeen fans....they think they are a world power, due to 4-5 good years 30 yrs ago!

Yer not wrong JB. I am also of that belief.....such is the nature of ebay. Conversley, do we think he would be as quick to get in touch hd the guitar been worth a fortune? I have been on Fender forum about this guitar...and have been told that the neck alone, could be worth more than the guy paid for the whole guitar! I also took a punt by sticking it on ebay...as it could have sold for a hell of a lot less than i paid for it.

Yeah JB. if you read the decription, you will realise it is carefully worded so as not to mislead anyone AND cover my ass! I was honest and supplied all the information i had on the guitar. Its up to the individual to go off and do their homework and check up on the details. If not, i dont believe ignorance is an excuse for a refund. I have been thinking, if there is any doubts about my honesty...paypal or ebay or whoever, can go back in their archive and see for themselves that i myself bought this Bass as a 1974 model about 5 years ago.

Id be pretty darn hacked off...if my team finished in 4th place overall....only to see a team potentially 10 pts behind them, in 7th place, win the 4th CL spot. Its becoming a farce. Even then....How can you have teams in anything less than first place compete in a "Champions League"? It should only be the Champions from each competing country IMO

I agree with you DD , the opening line of the advert states " a nice 1974 Fender Precision Bass " . Looks like the buyer has rumbled you SMEE . You should think about taking up Journalism DC, what with your selective and partial quotes an all!

Sorry...when i believe i am in the right..i will fight my corner, and i am a stubborn, yet resourceful fooker. I wouldnt be so quick to write me off either. I have tackled some of the biggest companies in Europe....all on my lonesome....and won. Even took on the might of Loyds insurance of London, when my Insurance company were making a hash of it....i told them to **** off and ad handle it myself. Loyds ended up coughing up ?2000. All because i stuck to my guns. Worst case scenario for me is, ...i lose my paypal account, big deal! This buyer obviously thought he was onto a good thing, thinking he could make money on the back of it. Do you think he would have been so quick to contact me IF it turned out the guitar was a highly valuable instrument. DONT KID YOURSELVES!! Its all about principles here for me. This buyer decided on the price...not me. Nobody forced him to bid, he did so through his own free will. He had every opportunity to ask ANY details he needed clearing up in order to help him come to a decision. He chose not to. Ignorance is not a defence nor a reason for a refund! The guitar could have easily sold for ?200 (near ?300 less than i paid for it years ago). Just so happened, it never Footnote: The buyer states the guitar is significantly "not as described". Well...small technicality here...but at no point was the items he lists ever mentioned in the description. So how can they be "not as described"? Cases are won and lost on such technicalities!

The seller has already escelated it to a claim! Thing is....wen i get my teeth into a fight....i normally win. Theres a trail of many beaten BIG corporations, such as BT, AOL, Loyds Insurance to back up my claim. My personal favorite was, the time i had the Sheriffs Officers running scared...and bending over backwards to accomodate me, to refund ME money! Am quite happy to take whoever on, provided i BELIEVE i am in the right. I believe it was a fair and legitimate trade. To DoofersDad, I am not airring any doubts to the authenticity of the guitar at all. It is the buyer that is doing so. If you re-read my ebay descritption...i make it clear that parts had been changed, which is not unusuall for anything of near 40 yrs of age. Here is what i am going to reply to Payal with: I disagree with Mr Davison?s summation of the guitar. I know the neck of the guitar is from around 1974. The stamp on it proves this. I have no reason to believe the body is not of the same age, and there is no possible way Mr Davison could ascertain this by just looking at it either. As well as sharing all the relevant information I had on the guitar, I also made it clear on the description?that certain parts had been changed on the guitar. This is not unusual on a guitar of nearly 40 yrs of age! Mr Davison apparently deals in guitars, so should be more than aware off what to look for. He chose not to exercise his right to ask me any pertinent questions regarding the guitar, through the ?ask the seller a question? facility on ebay, which could have avoided this situation! I made it crystal clear on the listing, that if there was ANY doubts, people should not bid. Mr Davison dictated the price of this guitar, not me! Also, I clearly stated on the item description that there were to be No Returns Accepted! As far as I am concerned, this was a legitimate and fair trade!

If that was true... a)why did he not ask me for conformation? I mean..if i had inside knowledge , that could save me from buying a duff...i am going to ask the seller to provide proof! :024: Why did he bother to bid, based on the info he did have, supposing he had doubts?

this is what he is claiming: Hi, I got the bass this morning but we do have a major problem - the only thing that is "Fender" about the bass is the neck and the case - the body - pickups - machineheads - scratchplate , literally everything else are from a cheap copy - there are no serial numbers to even indicate that the bass is from 1974 - so I'd like to return it to you for a full refund less the postage which you have laid out for. I hope this isn't a problem as I feel the bass is significantly "not as described" regards Now....it clearly states in the description i gave, that certain parts were not the originals. I have spoken to a couple of Fender owners about this this afternoon. They tell me, as far as the body goes, the gerneral rule with guitars is...the heavier the guitar, the better the quality of wood. Also, cheap copies are usually made of a single peice of wood. My guitar body was made up from three peices of wood (as you could tell when held up against the sunlight, you could see the joins under the paintwork) I believe this to be a quality guitar.

Anyone here have any knowledge of how paypal disputes work? I sold a bass on ebay this week. today..i had an email form the buyer, basically wanting his money back...stating that the guitar is significantly not as described. I sold the guitar as honestly as possible, supplied all the info i had. I have included the description below, for anyone to see. I made it clear that anyone in any doubt should not bid. Anyone with any tips on best how to deal with this is more than welcome to comment. Here we have a nice 1974 Fender Precision Bass (as it was described to me when i bought it). It is Black body, black scrathplate and a maple neck. it is fitted with a Badass II bridge. This Bass is nice to play and is in very good condition It comes with an original Fender hardcase, which although it has seen better days, it is still very useable. This is a very nice bass to play. UPDATE I have been asked about serial numbers etc. The only numbers i can find are on the headstock. This numbers are: PAT. 2 573 254 2.968.204 3.143.028 2.976 755. On the plate on the back of the body is the number 59946 The tuning heads look like they have been replaced I will be honest and tell you..i have tried to verify the age of the Bass...but it is all gobledegook to me. But i can assure you,it was sold to me as a 1974 model. If you have any doubts at all...PLEASE DONT BID! I dont want any hassle! *Please note UK Bidders ONLY please On 05-Feb-10 at 18:23:14 GMT, seller added the following information: UPDATE I am being inundated with requests for more pics and more information. I can not supply any more pics or information other than what is already there. I have to say, I am no expert on Guitars, but i have supplied all the relevant information as honestly as possible for fellow ebayers to make their own minds up. As i have previously sed, this guitar was sold to me, in its current state (i have made no alterations) as a 1974 model, hence why i have listed it as such. I have no reason to think otherwise. I can not be any more honest than this. As i stated already, if you have any doubts about this item, please, DO NOT BID!! Also, UK bidders ONLY please

I too would like to wish Denzil well. He was an integral part of the ICT sucsess story.....although it took him a while to get off and running if i recall
