Not as careless as you bidding $6m for Beer.

Ah I see, you are confusing my bid for Beer with my bid for a 'star' player...But then again, I've bid slightly less than that for him...

Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

No, because a) I'm at work, b) I'm at work and c) the spreadsheets are at home.

I select a time because that should be a time I can do it at the time specified. Besides, people may wish to change their bids before the deadline.

Delighted to get O'Reilly, a very reasonable price as well, enjoying having not one but two spinners sorted already.
