    I think it is. He is alluding to the fact that there is a lot of fakery and skullbuggery on eBay. It was a probably a cheaply made POS, assembled by peasants in one of the less salubrious districts of Shanxi and whose translation to the English was done via an in-bred dwarf with a speech impediment, dyslexia and no knowledge of English.

    Indeed I was. Though I assumed Brady understood the joke, he just didn't like it (that still might be the case though :) )

      There's nothing more English than a double barrelled surname.

      Very good, except we're Irish-Scottish.

              It was a trick, to see if you would ask that. A real Hungarian would never have asked that question. You fell for it.

              It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality. That means of course that they don't exist. However, they do!

                At least I understand why you pretend to be Hungarian now.

                  I could become Hungarian if I so wish. I can't remember all the rules but being married to a Hungarian and owning property here for more than 5 years allows you naturalise. I came in 97 and have been married since 2001, so I qualify. The only hurdle could be the interview with the Consul General to test my Hungarian. As he's already said he'd sign my papers if I apply that wouldn't be a problem. But to be honest, I can't see any advantage except getting another passport.

                      Yeah, I know, we've had the chat on your "name"'s meaning a while back (that being "Determined Protected") remember? * Note to self: Case study - should have marked MessageType as joke?
