Current bids:
Mina 
by Icotan
Sam and 2 bottles of by Mort
Ashley '3 million pounds' by Jodan (Proof may be needed before this bid can be accepted!)
Any researcher unable to honour their bid will forfit their Italic to the next highest bid!
You can bid for Mark if you like, whether you'll be able to adopt him is another matter seeing as he is no longer an Official Italic and tracking him down may prove a problem!

Oh I'm not bidding. Just making an observation that the bidding appeared a trifle low...

Blues, well I didn;t want to offer too much and seem over keen. Wouldn;t want me head bashed in behind the pub at the next meet
E G Mel, true enough, and your not the first by a long chalk.

Who is going to bash your head in behind the pub at the next meet for being overkeen to bid for Mina?

E G Mel Posted Sep 15, 2003
You're more likely to get Mina trying to bash it in for not bidding enough
