Hurree Jamset Ram Singh - 30 May 2005 22:51 GMT

Esteemed Sirs,

I have this hour returned from a fruitful journy to Ghorakpur and am
honoured to lay before you the following fine wares.

1. Canon EOS 1 Ds mark 2 body (313466)
2. Canon lens EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM (255194)
3. Canon lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM (92004285

I am saddened to report to you that I also was to offer for sale a Canon
EF16-35mm f/2.8L USM photographic lens, together with a finely crafted bag
intended to convey all of this equipment easily and conveniently - but the
bag and contents were stolen from me by a low caste street urchin who fled
rapidly away with his spoils, until stopped by passers by who were allerted
by my cries of alarm.

I must painfully rpeort that the young vagabond opened the bag he had stolen
from me and pelted the crowd with the contents, losing one lens, the bag,
and some other items in the general melee.

I retrieved the bulk of my equipment, which I now offer to you with
unfortunate marks and scratches gained when they were kicked underfoot by a
passing donkey cart.

If these items are of any interest please honour me by contacting me at
Ramsingh@flyblown.in

A poorly crafted troll.

This is neither convincing nor entertaining.

His name, though, does remind those of us old enough of a character from
'Billy Bunter'!

Oh I dunno though - our sikh friend is certainly entertaining. Put a smile
on my face after reading something about the identity cards which made me
snarl !

My goodness and my gracious!! - we are in the grip of a crime wave!

First a young street beggar runs away with my bag - and now your sense of
humour has been purloined!

Where will all this end?, is what I am asking myself.

Where will it end?
In my kill-file.

Where, you ask? Somewhere in the kitchen with Dinah. I know.
Modesty prevents me from describing how tenderly I strummed her . .

Strangely enough, that was my thought too.
