  1. redtube.com is what you're after CT.
  2. So, took the game and receipt back to the shop today, asked to speak to the manager to be told they weren't in. Explained the problem, pointed out the dints on the box and marks on the disc , and asked for a new, sealed replacement. Not an unreasonable request, I'd say, to put to a company who's business is selling games. They said they didn't have one in stock. I asked if any of their other N.E. branches did, their reply was that each store only had 1 copy , which meant the case would be on display and the disc stored behind the counter- i.e. Unsealed. What a coincidence! I then asked when their next delivery was due and could they put an unopened copy aside for me to collect. This relatively simple request was also, for some unfathomable bullshit reason, impossible. By this point, I was thoroughly fucked off and could feel the red mist hovering, so got my money back ( after having to explain that I was perfectly entitled to do so, and no, I didn't want a fucking credit note for a shop which had already tried to defraud me). I left the shop , and realised that the Head Office was next door to the store ( the Benton one), so invited myself in and spoke to someone who was unwilling to give their position in the company. His explanation was that he thought it had been hacked and I could've requested a new code from EA Sport, the manufacturers. "Ok", says I " Can I have the £10 they charge for that then?" Long story long, I'm ordering it off Play.com, and I'm putting a complaint together for the Trading Standards Inspector. I've kept the original receipt , and the refund receipt. Fucking Del-Boy Wankers.
  3. Especially those who aren't bothering , just sitting in and chilling eh?
  4. Says on the receipt it's a new game, and thinking on, it was sealed as I remember taking the price ticket off very, very carefully before I wrapped it. Seems they make a habit of it judging by the comments on here… http://m.hotukdeals.com/deals/batman-arkham-city-new-sealed-today-only-30-grainger-games-1071804?mforwarded=true
  5. Will do Ant. I would swear the one I bought was sealed mind.
  6. Time for Anti- Semitic joke #347. What's the difference between a fish and The Holocaust? You can't milk a fish
  7. Googled them earlier and saw that- daft bastards. Maybe they're trying to recoup their sponsor money by palming off used games as new, fuckers. Shame, I'd used them fairly regularly until a few years ago without any bother. Called in last week for the first time in a couple of years. Won't be using them again.
  8. Bought a new copy of FIFA 12 for pc for my nephew's Christmas present. He tried to play it today, entered the code for online registration, only to find its already registered. This means they've sold me a used disc as new, doesn't it? I've got the receipt which clearly states I bought it as " new", so I'm in there tomorrow to have a word and get it changed. Anyone ever had similar problems with them, and was it resolved?
  9. La di da Pleb version; Seafood sticks Steak and cheesy mash Chocolate cake. Put that in your pipe and share it
  10. So far, plans are a meal in with Mrs. F. King Prawn and Parma Ham wrapped Scallop kebabs Fillet Rossini with Pommes Dauphinoise , caramelised carrots and steamed tender-stem broccoli. Chocolate Fondant with Grand Marnier Cream. Considered Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, but fuck that
  11. Wouldn't fancy doing that in these winds mind. It's indoors mate, storage racks in a freezer- a freezer 50m long and 3 storeys high mind Ruffle a few feathers, did ya....... Clucking bell Absolutely fowl.
  12. Always sad to see a colleague pass.
  13. Could be better. Up this morning at daft o'clock to do a job in a chicken factory in Sunderland. Waited for various fuckers to get their shit together( permits, COSHH data etc) only to be told after all that , we couldn't get started until Friday. Feelings were expressed in a strong , Anglo Saxon manner.
  14. Reggie Perrin had the best approach Mine's spot on tbh- mad as a bucket of frogs, but sound with it.
  15. This needs more love. I will post it on every page, until people can see the light. I'll join you if I may. He loves his square pass off his left like He should be starting. Simple as that.
  16. We did this a while ago; http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?/topic/29100-brazilian-name/page__hl__%2Bbrazilian+%2Bname__fromsearch__1 Look at Besty's , about 4 down.
  17. Bit late, but this Jesus bloke shared a birthday with Humphrey Bogart. Jesus is now just that leetle bit cooler.
  18. Gutted we didn't get a White Christmas tbh. …
  19. Who takes any calls from a call centre on Christmas Day like? Genuine question btw, baffled.
  20. Oh yes, it took nano seconds for the unspoken agreement of " Fair game like lads" to be reached. Poor fucker will never live this down. He's already being referred to as Tripitaka.
  21. 16, turns 17 in march. I have to admit that I and two other Uncles ripped the piss with Bruce Lee and Seven Samurai quotes, which all went way his head. Great sport, all the better for the mad randomness of it all… you just dont get too many Samurai warriors in downtown Forest Hall.
  22. That was the funniest bit. Nobody asked him wtf he was dressed like Jet Li for- he just turned up , did a few ninja turkey carves, and that was that. Carry on as normal, playing charades with a Samurai warrior like it was an everyday thang. I did ask him if he was called Luke though.
