My wife bought an american style fridge on ebay
and was very pleased with herself for paying less than half the retail price. 3 months later the freezer no longer freezes and because it was an auction there's no warranty. I clearly remember saying "Don't buy a fridge on ebay you get what you pay for" she thinks I told her to buy it so now its all my fault.

so my question is.... If I leave her do I still have to pay half the mortgage? I can't afford to pay for two places and pay maintenance.

I know someone who'll go 1 to 4 with you on that.
No questions asked, make it look like an accident, or an horrific random murder. I'm from the internet, so it'll be hard to track it down. It's up to you, she can eaither not feel a thing, or go through the kind of pain that lasts. Completely up to you, gaz me if you're interested.

Okie deal
she'll be walking down that alley down the road an on the left from your place at 11pm tonight. Make it painful and there's a bonus in it for you.

*edit* shit that was supposed to be a gaz, how do you delete posts ect.

Scenario...
She is holding fridge whilst you 'repair it'; you accidentally lose grip , lands on wife - brown bread.

Plus you can then claim the fridge on house insurance.

Jackpot!

What you want, see, right, yeah', listening? Good.....
Is for two people to admit to the murder, two unconnected people, and then for them to withdraw their statements... "I was confused, never been in nick before, I was scared and wanted to say what I think you wanted to hear", get them diognised first with some sort of mental disorder or something like that, one of those ones where you say things that people want to hear.

Then you cast down some resonable doubt on the both of them, and pocket the differance.

Fridges? In Cornwall?

You still have some recourse actually.
Ebay or no if you buy something (esp white goods) you don't really need a warranty - there is a vaguely-defined legal 'reasonable' period during which you can expect something to work and can get a refund if it doesn't. By precedent this is generally regarded as at least 3 years. If the fridge was listed as 'new' you should be OK.

Jesus fucking wept it was TERRIBLE. Really, really, really terminally unfunny. I cannot begin to describe how dismal. They were on a desert island and there was a bomb there. It did not get funnier than that - I watched it, stony-faced, until the end, then went to bed in despair.

Not so. You are very funny.
Your other half is very funny - so I genuinely thought I might be wrong and gave 'Bottom' (oh dear, terrible start) a second go.

You display an infinitely greater dexterity of wit and depth of comedy on a daily basis than those execrable student revue tossers have ever done and they've made a fortune.

There are a lot of people who don't find Ad and Rik funny, I can understand this, like I can understand why people don't like The League of Gents - its a bit weird and disgusting.

Bottom Live 3 was amusing when I watched while drunk many years ago, but I think I'll give it a miss now.
