"Revenge of Ebay Customer "

[Frederick]

Google "Revenge of Ebay customer sold a faulty laptop "  Seems an Iranian student sold a non working lap top on ebay and then  tried to say he had left the country when contacted by the purchaser .....The buyer took the hard drive out and the contents he put on the internet....along with publishing his dodgy CV's and the porn He emailed all the contacts on his dddress book and directed them to the site ...His dad is not happy ...  great move !

Should that be "his dad WAS not happy" as its over two years ago  (May 2006) that this yarn was actually published in the guess what..........  Daily Wail.[:-))][:-))]

Apologies Frederick, not aimed at you at all, but can we have just one poster who refers the Forum to all the stories in the Daily "1m Assylum seekers arrived yesterday" Mail, its getting difficult to know which poster's offerings to ignore.

On a serious note why do people think that all the other members who live in France are the slightest bit interested in looking at articles in the Daily Mail, BBC  or Times on line?  If they were they would read them for themselves wouldn't they?.  Funny how so few French related articles get referenced.[:P]

Some of the Times, Telegraph and Guardian stories linked from here are actually relevant to France. I don't think many Daily Mail efforts are, other than the way they seem to be used for justification for being in France by those who need to slag off Britain to remind them that they are not actually still there. Fortunately, such negativity seems more prevalent on certain other forums.

For that perverse and slightly ironic reason Daily Mail stories, particularly those about immigrants, seem to hold a particular fascination among expat communities everywhere - not just France.
