[Sir Tigger KC]

This is bound to be controversial as there are a few here who slag ebay off at every opportunity.    However I think it's great and has solved 2 problems for me in the last week. 

1) I stripped the sump plug on my car.     A quick search on ebay and I found a sump pan locally, went and picked it up next day and fitted it later.  Problem solved. 

2) My boiler broke down.    The fan was kaput, but again a quick search of ebay and I had a reconditioned fan arrive the next day.  Problem solved. 

Pre ebay days, both issues would have meant ages with a copy of Yellow Pages or Thompsons phoning round scrappies and spare parts suppliers.  Now with ebay it's quick easy and convenient! 

They say things come in three's.    What's next I wonder?

Your surgical appliance will come to bits.

Havn't got one of those at the moment!

STMO knows what can happen from personal experience.

I'm held together with them. It would only take one piece of Velcro to let go and there would be bits of me all over the show.

Back on topic.    Do you buy your surgical appliances from ebay Uncle STEMO? 

Hmmm second hand colostomy bags.....    Maybe not!

I guess so.     You could chuck them in the washing machine I suppose?    Nice hot wash they'd come out as good as new!

Why not? Prefer the personal touch to stain your whites?

Touché......bastards.

Make sure you wear them the right way round.
With the demise of C&A, who always had helpful labels in their underpants (C**k and A**e -  similar for women), you now have to fall back on the old method of brown at the back, yellow at the front..............

I agree. When trying to spec components for making, modifying and repairing things, then online datasheets and online sales save loads of time.

Like all shopping, you just have to be careful from who you buy things from.
