I am currently watching a Seagull on e-bay and have just received notification of a number of "similar items".

These consist of a tea cosy, three bath towels, 4 eminem albums and two pairs of girls' navy blue school tights.

Is this a cause for concern?

I think it should only worry you if you feel that you need to wear the school tights to take good photos. (but let us know if it works!) :D
I think the "problem" is that the automated search results are based on the sellers description. Can't recall what specific LTM lens I was looking for but I got the "similar items email" that included SLR zoom lenses and everready cases and a couple of old tube radios. The radios were included(I think) only because they were listed as "R@RE!! L@@K!!" and the current prices were about the same as what I had on my watch list.

A mate of mine used to build roads in Scotland and said that he would always wear women's tights under his trousers. He said that all construction workers do it.

I'll tell that to the magistrate!

I think they are questioning your MANHOOD, I suggest you stop looking at seaqulls and move to a man's man camera a nice hernia creating Kiev 88 with extra lenses to insure a trip to the doctors office..... :D

They don't need to bother... That particular question was answered long ago.... :(

But oddly, I am strangely drawn to an Arax 60... I believe they do them in very nice pink! :D

An old joke has it that a fellow saw his male friend undressing at the local health club and noticed that he was wearing a bra. He asked his friend why he would wear a bra, and his friend replied that it was helpful with his back problems. He asked how long his friend had been wearing the bra, and the man replied he had been wearing ever since his wife had found it under the front seat of the family car.

Best Regards,

They might be questioning his manliness, but to question his manhood, they'd have to bend over and speak loudly.

I'm just saying.

I emerge from E-bay dripping confetti - tonight I am the bride of a Seagull!

I feel like Elsa Lanchester!

There was a similar controversy on Amazon.com, where the search engine generated the DVD for 'Planet of the Apes' as a similar item to some non-fiction book on African-Americans.

Which Seagull, J.?


Oh Lynn, I'm a bad person. Thrilled by the thought of your Great Wall it's... not RF, but a TLR -

{I pasted a link which doesn't work - it's item 7601809048

I just hope my fellow members can find it in their hearts to forgive me. Rather disappointingly, they appear to have sold the tights.....
