Just doing abit of lunchtime Ebay shopping and i was bidding on some of Carls titanium bottom arms.

Managed to get the high bid with 2 mins left....then outbid with 1m 30 seconds to go..bad times.

A quick bidding session found the other persons max price, so i set my price and hit confirm.

Frozen!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!! refresh quick! Error! FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF!!!"!":!"!@K":!"!

This is where i punch the screen and kick the tower repeatedly with people wondering what the hell is going on!

Ive just missed out on some absolutely bargain price bottom arms because of a shite computer.

Time to go and eat.

P.S computers suck.

Gayness! Maybe Carl will feel sorry for you and sell you the bottom arms at the auction price *tongue*

I'm delighted with my work computer today. Websense isn't working so I can get on here!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Just checked my Ebay after a reboot.....I won :S

Must have sent the info then crashed before loading the page? Maybe? Or not?

Anyway! woop! Sorry computer! got my eye on something for tomorrow also so hopefully this will be a good week, (not for my bank balance though!)

So you sit at the computer with your big clock on your lap, it's a nice image.

Quite right Commander! every time i go on Carls site, i find i have to lock the credit card away!!

I've already drank too much beer and am thinking up some ideas.....It involves me needing another set of these arms...

Problem is i need to have a word with someone in the know about what thickness material to use for the right amount of stregth while still being lightweight....

HA! indeed! No rear beam over here though....plans are already afoot in that department....
