eBay My World: jesterminute( 1389)

Hi everyone. I am a wheelchair disabled guy, injured while driving an HGV Milk tanker at the age of 24, suffering multiple injuries. Now in my early sixties, I live with my little dog Jack and a Jackdaw called Charlie, who has not left home in 8yr

I have only ever sold one item on ebay, my old Volve car, and that was quite a while ago now.

This is my forte, I just love to bid and hope, but usually wait until I see how many bids an item is attacting first.

My main hobby is Music, so Vinyl including all types of Organ, Accordion and Fairgrround LP's, are collected. Then old British Dance Band's, of the era early 1900's upto the 1950's, as I just love nostalgia. I love my generation of 1960's Rock and Roll, but not enough to collect it. I have a Yamaha EL 70 Organ and Tecnics KN 5000 midi-ed to it, which I have almost given up hope of ever playing again, as my fingers have stiffened terribly over the last few years. I never did play great anyway, as I have lost half a finger on my right hand, in an accident at work aged 21. My interests are many and varied, but Music does it for me. I don't get out of the house much these days, having all the health problems related from my accident, and a few others as well like Diabetes and Hypertension, etc. etc. So I can never go round car boots sales and the like, my bargains are always found on eBay. I have about 20 or so vintage Praktica camera's bought over the years, and many of those came from ebay.

Cumbrian

God shed a teardrop when he saw what man had become, and it landed in Cumbria. It made our beautiful lakeland a place of wonder, and a real treasure to behold. I love to be there amongst the hills, and just touch the sky. feel the water, smell the clean air. Sadly these days only from the seat in my car, or in my thoughts and daydreams. So my main hobby now, is listening to Music, Music, Music. Computing also fills a lot of my time, as I like to build my own. I used to love to go fishing, but sadly cannot get there in a wheelchair. Then leaving the house for long periods these days is also a problem for me, and fishing is an all day or all night activity.

Klaus Wunderlich, and all Organ, Accordion and Mechanical Organ music. All British Bands pre 1950's.

These days I only watch the news. TV in this country has really hit the bottom for me. It is now dredging the bottom of the barrel, while still looking for scraps of sanity. Oh what have we become, to put up with such utter rubbish.

Sadly Charlie passed away at 12.30 am on the 17th March 08. I held him in my hand for his last 30 minutes, while his breathing got more and more laboured. My little friend will be missed very much, as his chirpy voice made me smile each day. Charlie and I were meant to be together I suppose, as he managed to fall down next-doors chimney, and yet found a hole to end up behind my gas fire. I had this little bird since April 2000, and after cleaning him up, and taking him to the vet (as he was wheezing with so much soot) he soon recovered. I had neighbours digging up worms for him, but soon found out his favourite food was Honey Nut Cornflakes. I taught this little bird to fly, and whenever we went outside he sat contented on my shoulder, or searching for edible what-not at my feet. He did have one excursion, and was away wiith the other Jackdaws all one Saturday, but then flew down onto my shoulder on returning home, and never left me again. Charlie you were a wonderful Friend.
