Take a page from his/her book. buy your dress and hold payment until. Most sellers have no objection if you mail them a payment date.

I actually did this yesterday with item I had no intention of paying for until today, but didn't want to lose it the listing. Bomb-selecta.

[Nicola_Red]

Yeah, I totally should have. I was just worried that I'd end up with a non-payer and then have no money to pay for the dress! Hey ho, lesson learned.

What's annoying me today is the fact that the * English Defence League got permission to march through Leicester, on Saturday.

On the plus side, Unite Against Facism are doing a counter-march, think I'll head into town and join them

[MK Chris]

The EDL are a bunch of bone-headed, knuckle-dragging morons. I don't think the way the UAF go about trying to beat them is necessarily always the best though - and I don't think I would dare to go near it at all if I'm honest.

[R94N]

They are clueless. I remember when some of them were interviewed and asked why they were marching and they didn't really seem to have any idea.

Yeah! Whoop whoop, it'll all be kickin off in town this weekend! Hadn't spotted you were a Leicesterite E-Bob. Great, innit.

To be fair, they'll fit right in in Leicester. I can say that, born n bred there n'all that.

This is a really difficult issue cos I believe strongly in freedom of speech - the same principle that stops me from warning or banning people who talk smack about the show or team members here also leads me to believe that the EDL should be allowed to march. You just have to rely on people making counter-protests (like UAF) or just not buying their rubbish. This is of course based on the belief that they won't be violent or otherwise act illegaly - and they don't have a great track record where that's concerned...

[Bonanzoid]

The EDL epitomised. Some of you might have seen this, but it's still brilliant.

[dimtimjim]

The EDF epitomised.

Électricité De France...?

[bmstinton93]

Gotta love that Muslamic law!

Électricité De France...?

Ha! Thanks for pointing that out. Corrected.

[chrysostom]

I think that if there's a view that' damaging to society, it shouldn't be allowed to spread - as publicity will have a certain success rate no matter how stupid the message. As the process is repeated again and again, the view will pick up more and more followers (like Piers Morgan on twitter) and will eventually pose a risk to society. But then again I'm not all for freedom of speech in extreme cases. Vive le Thatcher.

Also, the pictures of 'The KKK' walking round Leytonstone at 2am on Monday morning rocked me to my core. They've always terrified me, even in pictures. I hope it's a sisck hoax or misunderstanding.

[Bonanzoid]

If it's a hoax then they should be ashamed of themselves.

On a slight sidenote, when I was living in Spain I knew there was a Semana Santa (Holy Week) which basically consists of parades through the streets with Virgin Marys and lots of church services. That's all pretty normal, but this is how they dress.

[Yudster]

That is truly unpleasant.

[Nicola_Red]

I frickin' love the fervent religious culture that they have in Italy and Spain, but yeah, that is just terrifying.

[Bonanzoid]

It is terrifying, but I'd bet the used that dress sense before the KKK existed. I'm not a Catholic but if their perfectly innocent religious outfits have been ruined by some idiotic, narrow minded racist tinks from America then it's a shame. Similar to the swastika and the Nazis.

WHAAAAT?! I've not heard this - busy at work, not seen much news, is this true?!

A shame it may be, but when a symbol, style of dress or similar - even if it started off with completely innocent intentions - becomes synonymous with such violent or unpleasant groups, then you'd have to say find another way to dress. I mean, if someone in a Western country had a Swastika in their window, it would immediately be assumed that they were a Nazi - and those KKK white dress things, even if not started by them, they're completely open to abuse by racist groups aren't they - completely white and covering your face up to avoid detection? Come on.

[Boboff]

Why though?

I have a hoodie, but I am not a pick pocket or a teen baby maker, and I always scratch my testicles in private...

[dimtimjim]

Me too. I love hoodies (to wear - not as a collective of yoots) as they pander to my perverse side due to the stigma associated with them.

[Boboff]

I like the way you edited the ball scrtaching reference when you agreed!

[dimtimjim]

Thats 'cos I scratch mine when they need it, regardless of location or present company.

[Nicola_Red]

I've got a spazzy eye. It felt itchy and like I had something in it all morning, and I was scratching it absent-mindedly while I was on the phone, and when I was about to go out on my lunch I looked in the mirror and it was all swollen. I had to take all my makeup off and I'm now sat holding an ice cube from the bar on it. I must be coming out in sympathy with Tina.

[Bonanzoid]

Strangely enough that happened to me last week. I thought it was the start of a stye so I stuck a towel doused in hot water on it. I think I may have just been scratching it a bit much in my sleep, or in my semi-conscious awake stage. Either way it didn't develop in to a stye, so I'm happy.

[Nicola_Red]

Yeah, I've never had a stye, touch wood. My mother often tells of the terrible Christmas of 1974, when she was massively pregnant with me (I was late) and had a terrible stye. It doesn't sound like fun.

[Yudster]

Sometimes if you get an eyelash in your eye, or anything really, and it scratches the surface of the cornea, it can do that. Whatever it was that was actually IN your eye will be long gone, it just feels like its still there...
