    Bargain or not?

    It was that or Don Warrington's Sodastream for £60.

    I'd have gone with the sodastream and used the remaining 875 to try and haggle on Robbie Coltrane's umbrella stand for 110 quid.

    I would then spend the rest on umbrellas.

    You could have had Hitler's jazz mags for less than that.

    I paid £23 for the very underpants Doug Mountjoy wore when he lost the final of the 1980 Irish Masters to Terry Griffiths. Beat that for value.

    I know, but the articles are written in German, and I only buy jazz mags for the articles.

    I can actually read and write German but that fact wouldn't have augmeented the humour of my response.

    That would be great value, Huggy, if only you could verify which frame he was wearing them for. It's a common fact that Doug used to exhaust at least two dozen pairs of underpants during any given match, let alone a final. The value is in the detail, my friend. And that is why I made a killing on the sale of Ivan Lendl's corn pads, which he discarded halfway through the second set of his quarter final match at the 1988 Rotterdam Open.

    I believe you're confusing Mountjoy with Bill Werbeniuk. Werbeniuk was notorious for the number of pairs of shreddies he would go through in a game - a sad consequence of his uncontrollable flatulence and habit of buying cheap undies. Mountjoy, on the other hand, was a prudent man who argued that stinting in the underpant department was a false economy. He insisted on the best quality Y-fronts to adorn his robust, Welsh buttocks.

    Ladies and gentlemen of not606. I am sorry to have to tell you this but Ponders is a fake, some would go as far to say a lying ****. Ivan Lendl wasn't in the quarter finals of the Rotterdam Cup in 1988. http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/scores/archive/rotterdam/407/1988/results








    Yes, I am bored enough at work to have looked it up!

    Thank Bhuddy. Glad to see the Fenian Force (Dan & Ger) liking my esoteric humour. <whistle>

    Steady on with that kind of chat! Anyway, I thought people would be more interested in me outing Ponders as a liar?

    <laugh>. I actually meant Stefan Edberg's corn pads.

    But you are quite right, M - I am not the real Ponders. My name is Terry Marrowforth and I run a small ironmongery near Weymouth.

    Besides, the real Ponders would have pulled you up on the horrific comma splice in your quoted post.

    ^^^^This **** isn't even the real, fake Ponders. There are no small ironmongers run by Terry Marrowforth within a 50 mile radius of Weymouth.
