Gav, I had some asshole lowball me on a pair of pretty nice shoes. They retailed for about $200 and he asked for them for $25 shipped or something outrageous. I think I had a "buy it now" for about $100. He then outbids a few folks and wins the auction. I ship to him promptly, and I get a message claiming that the shoes are worn beyond repair and he wants his money and shipping refunded. I let ebay handle that one. I knew this asshole would be trouble the minute he first contacted me. Some people.

Big fan since I was 10. Not a "big" writer, but no one (but Céline) has made me laugh more whilst reading…

Just learned what a boffin was… hadn't heard that term until today.

[grandmasterben]

What is a boffin?

Also, people who hold internet grudges are silly.

[tigerpac]

A boffin is British slang for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific work. The original World War II conception of war-winning researchers means that the character tends to have more positive connotations than related characterisations like egghead, nerd, or geek. -per wikipedia

You're in luck, I have them, they're a mate and I'll swap them for a pair of 666's, new or used.
