Do you have the Xmas specials?

The final episode is just brilliant.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 13 Jun 2008, 11:31

Yep, all the Christmas specials including the 1996/97 ones now.

I'm going to watch them in order (S3 next)

There are loads of hilarious scenes in the series.

Juno Blu-ray, and the cardboard HMV packaging was open so I'm surprised it hadn't fallen out during delivery!!!

Finally won on Ebay:
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS)
Nearly won it this morning on a different auction, had a winning bid at a reasonable price (I thought) and then some git nabbed it with 2 mins to go.

Why?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 14 Jun 2008, 15:33

Just bought on impulse:
Cliffhanger - R1 SB - $3.83

Edit - crap - just realised Visa make a purchasing charge or summat when you order abroad. Oh well. Still not bad.

Ordered from Secondspin (thanks to Romero for the coupon):-
Nico: Above the Law/Hard to Kill twinpack (offers widescreen versions)
Under Siege 2

Sorry man, I over-estimated you again.

Alanis' song, "Ironic", is quite infamous because the lyrics contain no examples of irony at all - thus "Ironic" is ironic. Apply the same logic to my reply to your post.

Can you only use the coupon once Eva?

I don't know, but Romero's reply in the Studio Canal HD thread seem to suggest that it does. Ask the man.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Jun 2008, 17:32

Yup I used it many times so far

VISA don't. Your Bank/Building Society providing the VISA card do!

WTF! Talk about a distant connection. I doubt anyone except you got it.

grim_tales wrote:Can you only use the coupon once Eva?

You can use them as many times as you like, until it expires. They usually expire after a week but it's not known when this one expires.

I told you about these offers months back, why are you suddenly interested now? I've been posting Free postage vouchers for yonks.

Yup move to a good bank, as obviously the one you are with are wankers! any bank charging to use your card do not deseve your cash and move as soon as you can.

It happened to me once when they changed the rules and did not inform me at Lloyds, so I walked in and said I want my cash back now, they said no, so I shut the account down and took it all out in cash and moved it to a far better bank down the road which gives me 40 times more interest, and does not charge me cash for buying things abroad on my card!

Thanks Brad

Because that voucher had BOTH 20% off AND free postage and I'd never seen Cliffhanger so thought I'd give it a go for £2-3.

So did one of the Wherehouse offers

.

romerojpg wrote:It happened to me once when they changed the rules and did not inform me at Lloyds

I was the same but Lloyds did send me a letter. I got shot a few months later, when I used my debit card in a cash machine broad and I was charged £2 each time. As far as I'm concerned Nationwide are the best Bank/Building Society out there.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 14 Jun 2008, 18:44

I'll wait for the next Wherehouse offer

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Jun 2008, 18:49

Nationwide are indeed, that why I went to them as well

(hopefully they stay that way).

Only problem with Second spin is all the titles I want from them, well they dont have them

guess that at least saved me some cash.

Hah, any perceptive person with a reasonable knowledge of pop culture would've gotten it. Poor Bradavon, justifying his ignorance as usual.

That is annoying. Secondspin seem to only list Used titles they have in Stock whereas Wherehouse list: New and Used titles they both have in stock and don't have in stock.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 14 Jun 2008, 19:11

Thats true, I searched for Videodrome Criterion on 2nd Spin and they didnt have it.
