| Bidding begins on 'entire life'
An ex-pat who decided to make a clean break after splitting with his wife has so far attracted 70 bids for his "entire life".
Ian Usher, from Darlington, who emigrated to Australia six years ago, is selling his house, friends and job on internet auction site eBay.
The 44-year-old said he hoped to earn about £185,000 for his Perth lifestyle.
About five hours after bidding opened on Sunday, the highest offer was just over £314,000.
Up for auction is his three-bedroom home in the western Australian city and everything inside it, including his car, motorcycle, jet ski and parachuting gear.
On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all

He is also selling an introduction to his friends and a trial run at his job.
Mr Usher said: "Everything that I have - the furniture in the house - all has memories attached to it. It's time to shed the old, and in with the new.
"On the day it's all sold and settled, I intend to walk out of my front door with my wallet in one pocket and my passport in the other, nothing else at all.
"My current thoughts are to then head to the airport and ask at the flight desk where the next flight with an available seat goes to, and to get on that and see where life takes me from there."
'Complete lifestyle'
Joy Jones, who co-owns the rug store in Perth where Mr Usher worked as a shop assistant, said she supported the auction idea.
Her company is offering the successful bidder a two-week trial, which could be extended for three months and then become permanent.
She said: "When Ian came up with this idea, because we had seen him go through a break-up of marriage and pain and bits and pieces, I thought it was really exciting.
"We thought, why not give it a go?"
Mr Usher said his friends in Perth were willing to be introduced to the highest bidder, allowing him to advertise his auction as offering a complete lifestyle.
Bidding closes at 0500 BST on 29 June.

| 坐在Waiting for Godot 等待著戈多
一邊翻播著Suede,還是Suede
阿爺雖然block了xanga
我還是以身試法，冒死上blog
說說近況
最近在上班；在聽 Clair de Lune, Debussy
還有 Birdsong Radio
意大利人送了我一個生字“Morbid”
很令人費解
昨天完成了第一條死線
便喝著青島，目送老闆到印度
緊隨的五天假期令我十分不安
空閒的日子很沒有安全感
去留不定
當我很專注地思考的時候我會感覺到我的腦袋在郁動
如蚯蚓在蠕動
最近我不再意識到這種感覺
我在想我的腦袋是不是死掉了
昨晚
友人忽然問我喜歡什麼顏色
我呆了一會
在我很勤力地回想的同時，聊天的氣氛便被我殺掉了
這是令我很納悶的問題 「最喜歡什麼」
在表態的同時好像便要跟這個顏色，那套電影，這團樂隊結婚，忠貞不二，共諧年理
後來知道原來友人只是想知道我會喜歡那個福娃
如是我今天開始寫我的「最喜歡表」
只是為了可以有一些「最喜歡」讓我可以在第一時間搭訕
晚上會到老舍茶館看京劇
光是老舍茶館一名已經很令人期待

| 路上有勞動者在掘地
第二天路不但被拔起
還加高了兩尺瀝青也壓平了
於是我想我也得以兩尺的速度成長
我貪婪地妄想著
腦中響起一句
‘suddenly, I am not the man I used to be’
略厭sentimental
現在being sentimental好像是犯罪
附庸風雅之仕如我也不得不參一腳
