(sings) when I buy...
from now on whenever I've bought something from eBay, I shall be leaving positive comments for the seller (should it have been a positive transaction) which I will lift from ancient Codemasters computer games.
Back in the 1980s, Codemasters were well known for having the most hyped-up, daft-sounding, OTT soundbites on the front of their cassette taped games. All were from the owners of Codemasters themselves, Richard and David Darling, and all were along the lines of "YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!!! IT'S THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER PLAYED IN YOUR LIFE!!!!" (from "Professional Washing Machine Simulator"*).
So look out for the All-New boredofjam eBay comments, they'll be FANTASTIC! BRILLIANT! JUST SUPERB!!
*Ok, that game didn't ever get published. But dammit it should have been.
