Thanks Romero but we've proven time and time again, our tastes differ wildly

I reckon I'd love Inside Man but won't buy it now.

Wankathon? Is the BBC showing highlights?

You reckon eh, well I can tell you right now you wont.

If you really thought that you would have seen it

It's not high on my to buy list so I'll give you that, but regardless we cannot buy everything straight away.

In case you didn't notice Romero Fearless is £4.99, cheaper than at DVDi.co.uk.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Apr 2008, 18:44

Yup Sadly my Fearless was shipped yesterday!
Dohh! or I would have canned that sucker and reorderd from HMV with the 9% quico discount

threw away 70p! god damn!

In the end I got The Hulk, Doom, Born on the 4th July and Land of the Dead.

£4.50p a piece aint bad, if you have any Vouchers you can get them considerably cheaper, may have to go to McD's for a bundle (just look in bins, did that last time and got tonnes people threw away! even £5 one! muppets!).

Oh my God, you root through McDonalds bins???

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 08 Apr 2008, 20:09

For large amounts of cash would you?

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 08 Apr 2008, 20:37

We're not exactly talking about bins full of £20 notes here are we, so no. I'm not a vagabond.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Apr 2008, 21:18

OMG I didn't think even you were that desperate to save cash Romero

.

Especially when we're talking McDonald's with gone off burgers, soggy chips and the like. I didn't even know they were giving away HMV vouchers, what's the deal? I've not been to McDonalds for years. I cannot stand the place.

How many days did it take to dispatch? Thanks. I ended up going for Atonement, cheers for that.

Romero you are a filthy tramp.

"Vagabond" should be used more in everyday conversation.

Are you a Freegan Romero? They raid bins too

I bet you lot would not pick up a quid if it was on the floor in front of you either

you could easily get 50 quids worth of HMV vouchers out of a bin in Mcs easy, or around the general area (you dont have to delve deep into scummy mess you know). Or even just ask friends and workmates to not toss them away, you could save a fortune and easily get a lot.

People work for 5 quid an hour, for a minutes work collecting vouchers you could get 10 times that.

Only you would consider picking a quid up on a floor the same thing as raiding disgusting McDonald's bins

romerojpg wrote:Or even just ask friends and workmates to not toss them away, you could save a fortune and easily get a lot.

That again is quite different from raiding disgusting McDonald's bins. Bins are disgusting by their nature, even if you just pick at the top. I think we can safely say you're on your own on this one Romero.

You really are a vagabond

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 09 Apr 2008, 18:54

i could probably find something of value if i went rummaging through the local tip,doesn't mean i would though

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Apr 2008, 19:04

True

We often have skips in my street. I have a glance when I walk past but certainly wouldn't go rummaging, yuck!

I bet Romero has already been to his local skip, or at least thought about it. I know of several people who have been to their local scrap yard but that's very different.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 09 Apr 2008, 19:43

Romero pictured shortly after his midnight visit to the Durham McD'S rubbish bins,disappointment etched on his face after finding only 4 £1 vouchers and none of his beloved £2 ones

When you see a HMV voucher sticking out or on the floor with £10 on it and walk by, then your a little stupid not to grab it.

There is a thing called soap nowadays you silly sods haha, get with it and learn to wash

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 09 Apr 2008, 20:20

Well apart from the hygiene thing, I wouldn't want people seeing me searching through bins to be honest. I bet you've got a reputation as 'that crazy guy who raids Maccies bins' basically.

Again, VERY different

To most people the idea of sticking their hands/head inside a rubbish bin is just too disgusting and could make you ill, all sorts of vermin and shit rummage around in bins.

Obviously we all can use soap but that's besides the point. You know what a knife and fork is right? Just checking

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 09 Apr 2008, 20:25

Your talking like I went down on a tramp

I picked up a few vouchers haha its not like I live in a skip and call myself Stig.

Then again for cash who knows?
