Does anybody know how to cancel a bid on eBay? ?

I put in a $7.00 bid for a "Mickey Mouse Outfit" and now it seems I am only nineteen minutes away from owning Obama's Cabinet. :-)

  Well if being liberal is a disease, than I am one terminally ill dude...  However it seems you maybe suffering from a case small mindedness, a genetic disorder that plagues rednecks and neo-cons...   upside

Typical liberal response you're small minded but we want to outlaw religon and talk radio. You won't get an argument From me on your mental state of health. I'm small minded I don't want my taxes going to fraud and waste.

Thats funny I used to manage a community talk radio station in OKC where most of the programming was religous and conservative talk shows...  I am not against them, con men have to eat too.

Dave i was just trying to point out we have the same exact problems on this side of the ocean as yours. ie, improper equipment, lack of staffing, in many cases no public support. I wish that guy was running for president here, he would have my vote. we need a president with balls, Ronnie may u rest in peace

Whoo guys calm down. Lets not get politics into this. One of the things that makes this site so wonderful is the lack of fighting and name calling that is typically on web forums. Lets not put each other down over political views and just enjoy our collections and share experiences and information. I myself generally lean toward being a liberal in many views (not all but some). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and its no reason to get angry just because you don't agree with their views.

Don't mix politics with soda machines  veryangry  We mostly live in USA  (no offense Dave) biggrin  where we have the freedom to be a liberal, conservative or something in between.  Let's respect others views and agree to disagree and enjoy the great hobby of soda machince etc...

I think the biggest thing about the riots over here was the fact that the general public have just woken up and realised that there is an under class (for whatever reason) and the real test now is how to deal with that.

Looking at the posts on that guy's blog it would appear to be a problem throughout the world.
"Head in sand syndrome."

This at a time when the Police Service has to make 24% cuts across the board and individual officers are losing as much as £400.00 ($600) a month. If they manage to hold onto their jobs.

The wholesale cuts are affecting the Armed Services and our National Health Service too.

A potential double dip resssion... Cheerful news first thing in the morning.

No a privately owned company, nice try though Oscar.  As for everyone else my apologies for getting away from soda and its related topics just felt my side needed some defending...  I will go play with my hammer and sickle now, oh and look it just after 4 o'colock I can have another Dr. Pepper.
