Aye he's having a laugh jumping on a plane, likes Laugh

Must have been spewing when Mags made his excuses and headed home for the Chicago Town and an early night Monty Chuckle

**Mr A** · 02-25-2018, 01:13 PM

He had other mates out that he went to meet.

Not great from me but not the end of the world Jezza

Absolutely disgraceful bluff calling from your chum. I would've been seething. Warnock

Pete Seeger · 02-25-2018, 06:53 PM

Not the gentlemanly behaviour we've come to expect from a man of Mags stature. Really disappointing.

I presume the guy was in other company rather than just left in a pub awkwardly looking at skyscanner?

Did the guy have a place to crash after your drunken invite to stay at yours was savagely revoked? Monty Ooh

**Mr A** · 02-25-2018, 08:17 PM

he was fine. Went off to meet his school chums for beers and stayed at his parents that night

Bill Cosby · 02-25-2018, 08:26 PM

He was probably just saying that out of sheer embarrassment.

It turned up on time thankfully Sound

On another note, how much of a racket is eBay nowadays. Sold something on it for the first time in years and they've taken a £60 fee then Paypal take an additional fee too Crowe

Used to be much cheaper, no wonder the links of Depop and Facebook groups are taking over the clothing markets.

Yeah and they check your msgs if you stop an auction early because too many people were doing deals off eBay just through PayPal. They can still charge your fee even if you don't sell though them.

It's a joke tbh and quite annoying. They cap their fees at £250 I think but it's still huge.

Keep your eye out for their 'only pay £1 when you sell' deals that happen semi regularly.

It's the biggest watch market but there's loads of junk on there - scammers too. Best bet is selling on enthusiast forums for whatever you're into.

Chrambo · 02-26-2018, 02:12 PM

Ye I've seen the £1 days, I only listed a pair of trainers on there as they were going for more than in Crepe City etc. But when you take the fees out its basically the same.

Usually just use PP Goods & Services and it's only 4%, plus it's secure. 10% off eBay before they take another PP fee is a joke.

Is there no watch groups on FB you can use Mags? Great platform for these kind of things now.

I've been offered an interview for a job in North London, is it even worth investigating relocation when the job is paying 42k basic?

Depends on the job. But no reason why not IMO.

North London is pretty vague though - what part?

Is there a bonus structure or are you expecting to get overtime?

I'd think it'd be tough on 42k but you never know. Depends if you could afford to live where you work as travel & accom costs are brutal.
