Isn’t it too late for Evil Amir to effectively repay and repent? The word sent forth can never be recalled. If the buyer had threatened him with disclosure, then there might be a point in repayment, but, as it is there isn’t, unless the buyer is gradually revealing more and more and saving the most discreditable bits for the last.

In this comment I shall refer to Laptop Selling Amir as “Evil Amir” and Amir Who Posts Here as “Our Amir”, for ease of reference.

The laptop guy has updated his site to add some details of Evil Amir’s c.v. I’m torn. Part of me thinks that Evil Amir is a fraudulent slimebag who deserves everything he gets and perhaps this will teach him not to sell dodgy computers anymore. The other part of me guilty wonders whether there is a point at which someone is entitled not to be humiliated anymore.

But I’ve just resolved this inner dilemma by deciding that the point at which Evil Amir is entitled not to be humiliated anymore would be the point at which he paid back the money he was given, and he hasn’t done that yet, so it is legitimate to continue to sit back and enjoy the character assassination.

PS Am I the only commenter who gets out of bed before noon on a Bank Holiday Monday? I think I am, you know.

Raz, (Comment 13)

That site! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just unreal. Now, THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is the Internet.
It has to be the basis of a cracking film or documentary though.

It was changing from Marathon to Snickers that got me.
Once I could bite into a bar and think of Pheidippides (although why he felt he had to run himself to death just to say ‘It’s ok, guys, we won’ is beyond me). Now I must consider the Eternal Footman, which just gets creepier with every passing year.

Raz,
Donâ€™t worry mate, itâ€™s not me! Iâ€™d never willingly sell a laptop with so much gay porn on it!

All this talk of bounty bars, with no sense of irony at all.

Why… do you prefer coconuts?

Opal Fruits are what Starburst used to be before they had their name changed. Personally I’m a Fruitella man…

What’s an opal fruit? (I’m in Australia).

Starbursts are great so an opal fruit would have to be pretty good to even be in the running

Listening on the radio I kept on hearing stuff like this:

Lenin was our best player against russia.
I thought Lenin was was Russian?

LOL at that blog. I sincerely hope it wasn’t OUR Amir who just got busted in such a humilating way!

May I announce how pleased I am to see the back of blue Smarties? I’m old enough to remember Smarties BEFORE there were blue ones. Should never have been allowed in the first place. National scandal, actually. Now I’m off to steal some sleeping infant’s Chocolate Orange. Enjoy your weekends, y’all.

I haven’t really eaten Opal Fruits since they stopped being Opal Fruits. But Robinsons have recently changed the recipe for Fruit Pastilles so that they no longer contain any artificial colours or flavourings and now they’re orrible.
