No I count myself as a youngish person (as in older than 30 but still act like a 20 year old sometimes )..but this has got me stumped...

Basically I am selling a few things on ebay, because the response I got from SN a while back was poor
so put them all up on fleabay and only a while to go.
have been answering all sorts of numpties questions so far, like when I state that the spoiler and bootlid need picking up instead of posting, due to the size, I get questions like, can you wrap it in bubblewrap and post it !!!

anyway auction is plodding along and then I get this question about one of the items

Now I know that ebay links are not allowed, but this is purely for info reasons, not to try and sell it here (see second paragraph)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

but I get this question

can anyone, who is 14 or younger, decipher what he is trying to say, cos its got me stumped !!!

cheers

...****wicked*****

 

its text talk!!!! all young uns do it!! like or8 m8 ow u doin
30 year plus term alright mate how are you doing!!!!

 

He wants your number Swiss to arrange a date

 

well he aint getting it, I give it out to only proper ppl

*runs off to make sure L hasnt got my number.........damm too late *

 

careless

 

* just had a reply from the guy/girl/geezer/underaged ebay user/*



now why is he/she asking me about cows and cuds????

the auction is for a spoiler and bootlid, there are no milk producing animals mentioned in the auction????????


and why is den from eastenders interested????

help !!!

 

I want to know who den is

 

He is saying:

"Pass me your number, we can chat; and if you want, I can pick it (the spoiler) up from you, too. I'm after the spoiler but I don't mind the boot lid too."

That cryptology course at Bletchley finally came in handy.

 

thx bubs mate, u is da geeza, rspct ma main man !!!

oh ffs I cant do this any longer

yeah I got the jist, but would you pass your number to someone who obviously cant string a sentence together and is unlikely to have a bank account or legitimate way of paying for said article ???

 

I wouldn't pass him a freshly laid and steaming stool, to tell you the truth.

 

Oh I dunno, a bloke where I work is well in his 50's and texts like my teenage son. He is loaded

 

anyone figured who den is yet?? and where is he from?

 

Ahh, a modern yoof.

Remember, even though his literary skills are non existent, you can be thankful that being brought up and educated under a New Labour government, he will not understanfd the concept of money and value, or debt management

So, make him a silly offer, spout some **** bull like the numpties on scoobynet ususally do (oops ). Once he's been duped, take his cash and run

 

so when are you leaving dave and running off with the man ???

 

my reply, although not so eloquent as that, will be sent shortly

along the lines of.....

 

You are joking, he needs a good ironing

 

He's not called Terrance by any chance?

 

Havin not yet looked at the link is the bootlid DGM

 

look at the link, have a strong drink and it will look green

 

weathered is the expression my dear

 

By jove, it does
whats the reserve

 

are you my mystery ebay buyer???

well, lets put it this way, the bootlid from a subaru dealer will set you back at least £150 and the spoiler is around £85+, so that gives you a ball park figure, but I am not greedy, so my reserve is lower than that

and it is DBGM (in a certain light )

 

No, love, my boots are weathered, he is dropping

 

Yep, you're getting old, Swiss

 

dropping what ??? dropping you for xmas?? or drooping???

 

I can always count on some ginger nut appearing and wasting space

 

pmsl, i think scooby dazza would give it away if i bid on it

so would £35 be ok then

 

... do you want your lights bumped?

 

yes, we have a deal ........You have just offered me £35 for the delivery, now what are you bid for the actual item you mutt

 

This springs to mind, you know, all going South
