Arms Dealer

I've had the brass shell case in my shed for as long as I can remember,  thought I would clean it up and see if any collectors wanted it, so I put it on e-bay.

Within 30 minutes, e-bay removed it from their web site and sent me a very nice e-mail telling me I had contravened their rules...I quote..."After reviewing your eBay account, it appears that you have violated eBay’s Ammunition policy. We realize you may not have been aware of this policy, or that this may have been a simple oversight, but unfortunately, we had to take the following actions:

- Violating listings have been removed."

It's a used 1942 40mm shell casing, with dings all over it...surely it can't be reused?

Ah well,  I won't be bothering trying to sell the H Bomb I've been storing in the garage.

Zakynthos

Well,  I keep promising to update this blog more frequently....doesn't seem to happen so I will try again.  Just returned from holiday in Zakynthos.  That is one of the Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.  It is just to the south of Kephalonia,  which itself is just south of Corfu.

This has been our first holiday outside school holiday time for more years than I care to remember, but as 'She who must be obeyed' has now retired from teaching, we took advantage of the slightly cheaper prices.

We sort of expected slightly cooler weather as well, it being in September...we were wrong on that count,  32 / 33 degrees C most days, but I could get used to that.

I love Greece and the Greeks,  they are having a hard time at the moment with their economy being in the state it  is,  even the ex-Pats living out there are being hit by extra taxes everytime they close their eyes...I have a good friend who has lived in the South of Zante for 19 years,  although he is comfortable, he is a bit concerned about the constant rises in the cost of living.

Just a quick taster of one of the 200+ photos taken whilst away, and a promise that I will start posting here more frequently.
