It often seems that the most insightful search results on Ebay are found by searching for things that they don't have. I thought I'd see if Transparent OLED display modules had made it to the shelves of the cheap Chinese electronic components sellers. Far from it, by the looks of things. However as their search engine desperately scrambled to find something to part me from my money, I did find out that you can now buy balloons (or "super transparent corrugated wave balls") with built-in LEDs: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162721544507/ And, on a more worrying note, at least eight people, presumably in Australia, have bought Saddam Hussain iPhone covers: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142509015913/ -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#

I'm organising a fancy set of Mugabe iphone covers, dirt cheap.

Did you get some of Tony Abbott when he was kicked out of the top job, or is it just the dictatorial sorts who qualify for this treatment? -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#

As a joke, stupid. Even if he was their hero, nothing to worry about now. >> I'm organising a fancy set of Mugabe iphone covers, dirt cheap. > Did you get some of Tony Abbott when > he was kicked out of the top job, I have the brightest yellow cover I can find, to make my phone stand out like dogs balls and look great with a space grey iphone. Can be a problem when using it in the car tho, even the stupidest cop should notice what it is and it’s a $700 or so fine and the loss of 3 points too. > or is it just the dictatorial sorts > who qualify for this treatment? That was a joke, Joyce. Don’t laugh, see if I care.

Seems cases are not politically correct Rod would argue a ISIS flag one is OK also -- Petzl We are advised to NOT judge ALL Moslems by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.
