Hi Su I cannot replicate this problem. When I try the ebay link from my webpage, it just links straight to my listings without problem. Also - I dont understand what you mean by saying "However, when I click on ejralph, it does take me to your correct feedback," Where are you clicking on ejralph? is my name showing on these phantom german listings somewhere then? This is weird and worrying - because everything is working just fine for me. Will you do me a favour and check it again and see if it is still being odd? I cannot begin to imagine what is going wrong there - because you are right, I am not German and certainly not selling Aerosmith cd's! Thanks for letting me know this - just wish I could see for myself what this gremlin is, then maybe I could fix it.

Plus an auction at Justbeads, but I warn you - I was in a silly mood when I wrote that listing ! Please visit my site www.ejrbeads.co.uk and click on the ebay or justbeads links there to see the auctions Um, Emma, unless you have an alter ego that lives in Germany, there's something wrong with your listings. The first thing to show up in your eBay link is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW T-Shirt Strickjacke Cape seller ID:rosenkind17 There's two other German listings. However, when I click on ejralph, it does take me to your correct feedback, and then the button there that takes me to 'Seller's Other Listings' does take me to your eBay beads. Beyond bizarre. Unless you really do have 23 Rock CDs for sale. I never thought you were an Arrowsmith kind of girl. -Su |

Oh blimey - of course, I wish i never brung it up now ;-) Britain is so full of local dialects and accents, that that in itself gives new words or new meanings to words if you just drive 50 miles up'road! I am half-way through reading Melvyn Bragg's book on the evolution of the English language at the moment. It is fascinating and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the English language. For instance, I never knew that back when the USA was being born - American English was considered to be much purer and closer to proper English for a long while. I always assumed that when an American says words such as 'gotten' where we would say 'got' - that it was an American evolution to the language. But according to Bragg, 'gotten' was original and the Brits dropped the ending and shortened the word - which many found quite slovenly. Come to think of it though, I am sure many dialects up North still use gotten too. There are plenty other examples like this that are in the book.

More likely to be gorra than gotten.

I think most people can tell it is very tongue in cheek. Can't spend your whole life worrying how other's will perceive you anyway. Just gotta get on do your thing, true to your own self, and hope that someone, somewhere gets your vibe I guess. Yep. I thought that calling one set of my beads 'More D*mn Beads' might make some people upset but it's all in fun and hardly anything more than amusing. The name was really well-received, many people thought it was a real laugh. -Su |

When I clicked on the link, the top half of the page was correct, showing ejralph as the seller with your feedback and all, so when I saw the duff listings below, I clicked on the feedback number for you, which gives the page showing your feedback and that option to see all listings by ejralph, which took me right to your listings. Where are you clicking on ejralph? is my name showing on these phantom german listings somewhere then? No, the sellers are clearly not ejralph. It might have been something odd in the search string. This is weird and worrying - because everything is working just fine for me. Will you do me a favour and check it again and see if it is still being odd? I cannot begin to imagine what is going wrong there - because you are right, I am not German and certainly not selling Aerosmith cd's! You'll be happy to know that clicking on your eBay link on your website works perfectly now. The ways of eBay are many and bizarre. You don't like Aerosmith? Thanks for letting me know this - just wish I could see for myself what this gremlin is, then maybe I could fix it. Seems to have de-gremlinized itself. Or would that be de-gremlintated? -Su |

I think that was an inspired name. After all, is that just what our
other halves always say each time another beady envelope drops through the door! Ok, so probably not Mike, seeing as he is a bead-head too ;-) Emma On Sat, 20 Nov 2004 14:51:55 +0000 (UTC), "Su/Cutworks" wrote: Emma wrote: I think most people can tell it is very tongue in cheek.

Glad it was just a gremlin in the works - thanks for rechecking that
for me Su. Aerosmith are ok, but not when they are hijacking my auctions ;-) Liked the love in a lift song many moons ago.

What I fail to comprehend is the use of the ending -tate. Orientate to orient someone in a direction. It seems superfluous to me. And odd to an American ear that has gotten used to most British terminology. It sounds fairly BBC-inspired which means it's more an affectation than anything else. -Su |
