Boy, three, buys car on internet

A three-year-old boy has used his mother's computer to buy a £9,000 car on an internet auction site.
Jack Neal's parents only discovered their son's successful bid when they received a message from eBay about the Barbie pink Nissan Figaro.

Rachael Neal, 36, said her son was quite good at using the computer.

Mrs Neal, of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, said she had left her eBay password in her computer and her son had used the "buy it now" button...

I used to get regular calls from Declan Lynch's infant daughter. We figured out she knew how to work the Frequent Dial Numbers facility.

Otherwise they just end up with an extensive assortmant of toasters, coffee machines and sets of pans even argos would be jelous of.

Basically anything that's not pogues related doesn't deserve a thread according to the admin. Then again what movie are you watching now isn't exactly pogues related either, is it?

Funny you should bring this up. This very topic is being discussed at:

I was honestly surprised you hadn't commented in there yet. Did you perhaps accidentally post to the wrong thread?

Saw this & thought it was a cheap trick to whip up interest in a car that was not getting any high bids.
P.S. Anyone want to buy a old Renault

Typical laptops, eh? Mine has been banished to its cutting-edge-of-fashion carrying case. It rarely gets to see the light of day any more.
