i'm new and puggled!

Welcome to our forum! Think of your snipe as a one time, placed at the last moment, proxy bid. Your snipe will be placed for the next increment necessary for you to win, if you sniped for enough to do so.

thanks for a quick reply! i'm not sure i understand though. say that with 10 seconds to go til the end, the highest bid is £1000, so does AS just bid my maximum bid (£1200, in an attempt to win it, or would it just bid the next increment(which i think goes up by £20)after all, i'm trying to get it as cheap as possible!

one other thing, what's a proxy bid? i'm new to this ebaying lark!

thanks all

AS will bid your max. eBay will use only the amount (up to your max) needed to get/stay in the lead.

It's what happens when you are puggled. Fortunately, puggling is now illegal in EU countries

Ah! That clears it up. Didn’t know that. Here I thought the ID was what one sits on if they didn’t have a butt crack.

I’m even more in love with that ID.

Bottom line... I believe the ID to mean diarrhea.

abnormally frequent intestinal evacuations with more or less fluid stools

Not too fasinating choice for an ID in my estimation, but to each his own!

Anyone want to discuss the merits of posting pictures or being able to download (no pun) Avatars?

The word puggle can be either a noun or a verb. The verb “to puggle” means “to push or poke a stick or a wire down a hole and work it about in order to clear the hole”. The source of this word seems to be an earlier verb “to pug” meaning to hit or punch (in turn “pug” was probably onomatopoeic – and is the source of the American slang word for a boxer: a “pug”). The listener (in her letter) says that she’s familiar with this verb “to puggle” because her father told her that when he was about five or six years old, on the way to school he puggled a hole in a dead tree and out came a horde of angry hornets who stung him all over his head. Fortunately, she adds, it was wash day and his mother covered him in blue from a blue bag. But what about the noun puggle? What is a puggle? (That was Richard Morecroft’s question.) Used as a noun puggle (sometimes spelled poggle) means “a crazy or foolish person, an idiot”. It comes from India, from the days of the British Raj, and the source is a Hindi word pagal with almost the same meaning (“madman, idiot”). Perhaps, if you go about puggling holes in dead trees that makes you a bit of a puggle! - via Google!

Liquid Stool,

Should that be change to, “… bid the next excrement”?

Doctor: 'When did you first realise you had diarrhoea'?

Patient: 'When I took my bike clips off'

Good one, Mike! I hate to admit it, but it took me this long to get it.
