I picked up a free magazine at our school yesterday and there was something about weird stuff you can buy on the internet. What about a tea-table that's an exact map of Baghdad?

I worked in Boots when I was a student and someone returned a faulty lady shaver and it had hairs on it - no joke! Disgusting!:puke:

Eew, that's gross!

Oh god yes - I worked Saturdays in the fashion department of a well known department store when I was a student, and a lady returned trousers with a faulty zip - however she had obviously worn them commando and not washed them before bringing them back.

Wouldn't have minded so much, but the zip had only broken because she had bought a size too small in the first place. :grrr:

UM is a nice place

Or just:

Dog Poo.

The ad reads:

"Fresh unused dog poo ready for immediate collection. 100% Guaranteed to be untouched by human hands.

This poo is from a healthy German Shepherd dog and is brown in colour. there are no worms or fungus growing in it. It is firm and is in a pile. It can be moulded into different shapes and is guaranteed to stink to high heaven if you try cooking it in your oven.

The successful winner of this luxury dog poo will get a free bag of dog poo with our compliments.

Your dog poo will be handed to you in a doggy poo bag.

Collection in person only.

I am selling this dog poo as I am a university student and I need to buy food for my family (i'm a mature student) and my dog. The fees are really high and I need every penny i can get.

Of course I am hoping that some rich benefactor will buy it in order to help me pay my tuition fees for 2008/9 as I am a mature law student with a growing family - I hope you enjoyed my listing - please feel free to email me your comments - rude or otherwise!!!"

Dog Poo! WTF??

Yep. The real deal.

The questions on the page:

"Q: hi can you tell me if it comes with pebbles attached?

A: Yes, we can send the dog poo with some attached pebbles but this will be subject to surcharge of 12p per pebble - if you are lucky enough to win please state the amount of pebbles you wanted included in your purchase - thank you.

Q: thank god for ebayers .. i really need some runny stuff, if you were to feed the animal some weetabix or curry would it moist enough to place into a jiffy anti smell bag and post somewhere.. several people over the years have chosen by default this.

A: Sorry, we don't condone cruelty to animals -- however, we would happily mix it up with some water until runny but we cannot post - can you imagine the bag breaking on the postman!? It would be very messy!! Happy Bidding

Q: Wow!! Quality stock you have there, however I was wandering if you stock the type with a foot print in the middle? Thanks

A: Yes, your luck is in. We also stock this 'product' in the type with a footprint in. We dp a selection of different fottprints from welly boots to high heels. Happy bidding

Q: Hi, do you have this item in any other colour. Thanks

A: Hi, Thank - you for your question and interest in our item. It is possible to get this type of poo in white - however it does need to be left for some time to 'weather' unfortunately we havn't got any weathered poo in stock at this time. However, if you would like to place an order and pay we shall instigate proceedings for the weathering of our poo. We can assure you that we are not fly by night cowboys who would take your money and send you something that we found on the street corner that had been there for a while - we would produce said poo ourselves and take great pride as the country's leading pooateirs. We could supply red poo but this invovles kicking the dog really hard which is a course of action we frown upon. Good luck in your search if our poo is not suitable for your purposes."

Urgh am I being unreasonable by taking a friend to see Jimmy Carr when I ordered tickets in February. My girlfriend says it's inconsiderate. But she wasn't there then!

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
