it be?”

Personally, I hope you’ve fixed all the fucking bugs in it!

I’m gonna go out on a limb here…..

No it didn’t. STFU.

Ebay Auction

Closing price of $36,099.00.
Not a bad find!

Bidders ask some odd questions though, and seller gives some remarkably diplomatic answers!

Q: Hi , Does the pants have any stamp inside pocket ? Thanks 24-Jul-08

A: There are no stamps inside the pockets, only dirt.

Q: I know that this may sound odd, but would you consider selling the dirt that was found in the pockets of the jeans? 29-Jul-08

A: Sorry, but when I turned the pockets inside out to see if their was a stamp inside the pocket as requested by a previous question, the dirt spilled out and was vacummed up.

Q: Dear Sir, If I purchased these jeans from you, what type of detergent would you suggest using to get the wax off? 29-Jul-08

A: I honestly have no idean. I have never tried to wash the wax off any of the mining items as most mining collectors prefer that if stays on.

Q: if the miner was holding a candle that was dripping on the jeans, wouldn’t the wax droplets be long in shape unlike the round drops pictured that would indicate that the jeans were laid out flat and a candle dripped from over top? Just a question. 29-Jul-08

A: I am not a Forensic expert so I cannot speculate on how the candle wax would look. or whether the miner was standing or sitting down to eat his lunch when the candle dripped on him. All I know is the drips look like those I find on powder boxes, candle stick boxes and other old clothing brought out of the mines. Nor can I awnser why these men left their pants in the mine.

BBC Radio 1 has banned the word “faggot” from the Pogues’ 1987 Christmas hit Fairytale of New York to avoid offence.

…MacColl’s mother, Jean, called the ban “too ridiculous”, while the Pogues said they found it “amusing”.

It’s quite funny actually. Listen here

UPDATE

The BBC has backed down!

BBC Radio 1 has said it will allow the Pogues’ Fairytale of New York to be played on the station uncut, after criticism of a decision to censor it.
