When Becky Smith ordered a £185 glass table and chairs from eBay, she would have had every right to complain that the delivered product did not quite match the description.That’s after the 21-year-old full-time mother from Harold Hill, east London, opened two boxes to find she had in fact been sent 40 bags containing 150 tropical fish.The discovery - which was recorded in a hilarious video by her friend Jacqueline Johnson and posted on Facebook - has since been viewed more than three million times in less than a day. The clip begins with Miss Smith in her dressing gown with wet hair - directing 30-year-old make-up artist Miss Johnson, who lives in the first-floor flat above her, into the kitchen. And the women start laughing when they examine the packages - with Miss Smith saying: ‘Look, look, fish, fish, f***ing what am I going to do with them? Are they taking the p***?’While a young boy and girl watch the expletive-laden scene unfold, she adds: ‘F***, it said “fragile” on it, I thought it was my table.
What am I going to do? Look, f***ing look, I paid for a table, not fish.’Miss Smith jokes that she might now ‘buy a tank for them’, adding: ‘I don't even like the c***s.’And Miss Johnson, who confirmed the fish have now been returned ‘safe and sound’, says: ‘That's what you get for shopping on eBay. I can't get over it, I literally can't get over it.’ Special delivery: Becky Smith, a mother from London, found she had been delivered 40 bags of tropical fish Open boxes: The discovery was recorded in a hilarious video by Miss Smith's friend Jacqueline JohnsonOne of the many viewers was her friend Danielle Challinor, who said: ‘I am crying, not laughed like that in a long time. My fella said order again from eBay and you might get a fish tank as well.’ And Nicola Gillies added: ‘Oh my God, I’m cracking up. Forty bags of fish. Get her down the local park and and set up the hook-a-duck stall - £5 a go, and they win a fish.’Last night, Miss Johnson told her Facebook friends: ‘Hi guys and girls, what a mad day this has been for me and my bestie.'We just simply put a video up of her delivery and it's all gone nuts.
Thanks so much for all your messages.’ Hit video: The clip on Facebook has since been viewed more than three million times in less than a day Surveying the scene: Miss Smith jokes she might now ‘buy a tank for them’, adding: 'I don't even like the c***s'And Miss Smith said today: ‘I went on eBay and ordered a six chairs and a black and glass table. They said I would get it in two days' time. I answered the door, they dropped it off. ‘I took it in my house, opened it and there was 40 bags of tropical fish. I was so shocked. I didn't count them - I was just too shocked. I thought I had bought lots of fish - it was awful.‘I was going to keep them if I had to. But I don't really like them to be honest. But my daughter does and she wanted them.’But Miss Smith, who lives with her three-year-old daughter Frankie May-Smith, noticed that the address on the label was for Jollyes - a pet shop in nearby Romford.She added: 'The bloke came back and delivered the table in the end around half an hour later.
The delivery driver looked so embarrassed.'HomeMailFlickrTumblrNewsSportsFinanceCelebrityAnswersGroupsMobileYahooSearchSkip to NavigationSkip to Main ContentSkip to Related Content0Mail•May 29, 2014Craig Brazier, of Mansfield Woodhouse, England, has just scored a lot of money. This past Saturday, Mr. Brazier, a 39-year-old waste container cleaner, was getting ready for an upcoming fishing trip. Just when he was about to buy some more maggots for bait, he changed his mind and decided to head over to Betfred, a United Kingdom bookmaker. He wound up betting £2 ($3.35) on the Scoop6, a pool bet that challenges gamblers to, “select all 6 winners from 6 (horse) races.” As the Daily Mirror reports, it’s a good thing he didn’t decide to buy more maggots.After he placed his bet, Mr. Brazier went home to watch the races. The races quickly became far more interesting to watch for the married father of two. He told the Daily Mirror that while his wife, Tracy, was asleep, he was wide awake and, “panicking after I got three out of three.
After the fourth winner I went and told her but she said, ‘You aren’t lucky enough’ and dozed off.” As it turned out, Tracy’s husband was lucky enough. And as Chatez the racehorse won the sixth race, so did Mr. Brazier. His miniscule bet, almost spent on maggots, wound up scoring him a cool £1,342,599 ($2,244,557).According to the Nottingham Post, Mr. Brazier and his family will now look for a new home to live in and are planning on visiting Disney World. The new millionaire originally thought about buying a horse for himself, but after looking into the cost, he’s less keen on the idea. The Guardian notes that both Craig and Tracy plan on keeping their jobs, and that one daughter asked for new shoes, and the other a new desk.On Wednesday, Mr. Brazier got to meet Chatez, the horse that helped secure his jackpot. All in all, it’s been a stellar week – that could possibly be surpassed depending on what happens this weekend. As the BBC notes, he has been entered into a pool for an upcoming bonus race that could win him another £5 million ($8,359,000).

The OSGi framework is used for applications that will run in the same address space as the controller while the REST (web based) API is used for applications that do not run in the same address space (or even necessarily on the same machine) as the controller. The business logic and algorithms reside in the applications. These applications use the controller to gather network intelligence, run algorithms to perform analytics, and then use the controller to orchestrate the new rules, if any, throughout the network.
