'Ladies and gents,
Recently, you may have seen a series of emails flying around showing 'stupid items' for sale on sites such as Ebay. Most frighteningly of all, said items were actually going for quite a decent price. So, as an experiment to discover how truly stupid some human beings are (and because I'm bored and hate writing documentation) I have put the following, truly useless, and utterly stupid item for sale on Ebay, which I hope to fetch a fair price from:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2954574510
Please forward this email to a load of your friends, and hope that they in turn forward it onto some truly stupid people (because, after all, YOU wouldn't be friends with anyone stupid enough to bid on this) and we'll see how high the bidding goes.
Yours boredly. '

...because let's face it - it's only going to be AOLers who bid for it...

Speaking of which, the woman pissing herself on 3 non blondes last night was excruciatingly funny

to it on Radio 4, but it is superbly visual in a surreal way.
I agree about the BBC3 thing.
