Our TV aerial is in the loft and works fine...

Anybody else get emails off some place called 'ebuyer'? I constantly get the f*****g things and have no idea how they have my details...probably leaked to them via someplace like ebay probably. I'm not going to buy HDTV's or blenders off you so stop sending me this garbage.

My taste in games. Was in town earlier so I thought I'd pop into Gamestation for the hell of it to see if they could surprise me. I had several games on my 'want' list so how did it go?

Asura's Wrath? No, not in stock.
Catherine? Nope, no chance.
Tekken 3D Prime Edition? Ha, gotta be joking! No copies at all.
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3? ...no.

These are all fairly recent games so I would have thought at least one would have been in stock. Millions upon millions of Assassin's Creed, CoD and Battlefield games though. Wow, how exciting.

So yeah, my taste in games has annoyed me today. I wish I liked stuff like FIFA then I wouldn't have this problem :lol:

^^I'm like that at the moment.

Have six shops that majorly sell games and everytime I go in them each and every shop pretty much has the same identical games sitting on the shelves and if I do tend to find one that I do really want it tends to be more expensive as it's the only one.
Buy my stuff here.

Going into CEX, and not knowing what to choose between Stranglehold (again), Fallout New Vegas (again), The Bourne Conspiracy or Final Fantasy XIII (although I HATE FF games, I seem to be intrigued by this one....). And 9 times out of ten, a 7 year old picks up a copy of GTA IV, and gets his mum to buy it for him. Then you complain when he starts swearing at you. Mum? You ain't even doing it right if you buy it for him.

Staying on the topic of parents, when some scummy mummy starts shouting and swearing at their 3 year old kid because they got out the pushchair. Erm, ever heard of the miracle called 'seat straps'?

Going mad on cheap books on Amazon, then forgetting about the postage costs. 4p for four books, then £11.20 postage!

Finally being told by my back specialist that the last 15 years or so of my working life count for next to censored all. Its back to the drawing board in terms of my career. If only it was that easy just to change jobs. The mortage needs to be payed on the dot, month in, month out. Its easy to tell someone just to change no matter what when you get £180 per consultation (fair play to him) day in day out and therefore dont really know how difficult things can be! Im truly gutted, ive been looking for other work for ages without much success because I knew this would be on the cards, but when reality finally hits home its a sickener. I always thought in the back of my mind that I could just get back in to the old routine if all else failed.

And according to the government im fit and able....

Aye, my hay fever has hit new levels of terrible. I don't understand, it's pissing down with rain!! Pollen levels are low, or so says the weather girl.

I'm sitting in a dark room with all the windows closed, trying not to claw my eyes out :cry:

The Westboro Baptist idiots are banned from the uk and to be honest , we have enough small minded bigots ruling the country let alone admitting a group that claims to be messengers of god whilst preaching discrimination against nearly anything you can think of.The phrase 'only in America' is quite apt , let that be where they stay.

Same old story - idiots and liars staffing Game/station shops.

I know i shouldn't, but i take it as a personal insult when a person lies to my face.
