CHARTER: Does anyone mind if I post a small ad?

[Mike Tomlinson]

There doesn't appear to be a charter for uk.d-i-y at

May I post a small ad for a DIY related item, please?

[Bob Eager]

I think the group is too old for a charter....but see:

A small person ad is permitted, commercial advertising is not

So, "lawnmower for sale" would be acceptable, "see our range of lawnmowers at

" isn't

[Ian Stirling]

Looking on google at the earliest archives of this group, they are: 21 Jan 1995 PC I/O boards (12 articles) Frithiof Jensen 15 Jan 1995 Fondle my hot shiny 8 inch c*ck! (5 articles) The Better 5 Dec 1994 Victorian Light Fittings (1 article) Craig Wood

So, not much change.

It's illegal to sell dwarves?

[BigWallop]

A bloke goes in to a pub and asks the barman "Do you serve dwarves ?" The barman ask "How do you want it, fried or boiled ?"

Now is not the best time of year for selling small persons. They're not much in demand.

Wait until all the directors of Snow White are casting, and you'll geta much better price.

Many of us don't need to ignore IMM's posts - except when gets quoted by others :-/
