RE: Lurkers

This was once my favourite site, but a lot of bollox about wasps and people talking s***e made me look elsewhere.

I prefer thedvdforums.co.uk

RE: indiana jones dvds any good?

l got a copy of Raiders about a year ago. It was crap. My NTSC VHS copies were better!

RE: XBOX or Playstation??

l have both.

XBOX is the better one by a good way.

PS2 is very good.

The £199 pack with 4 games inc. Splinter Cell is a great pack.

RE: Whats your Ten best and worst films of this year?

lts a little early for this, no?

The Two Towers isn`t even out yet!

RE: AoTC R4 "limited edition"

lf l were you l would stick it on ebay as there are none on there. l think this is extremely rare. lts the first l heard of it. l think you even might be able to sell just the cover! l`d almost buy it, but didn`t like Clones!

Or take the cover off and put it away keeping it in good condition. So the kids cannot get at it. l did the same with Beauty & the Beast as it wouldn`t have lasted 5 minutes in my house.

General Thade, signing off...

Well after a 5 minute think about it over the weekend I am going to take up a post with the UK Foreign Office in New York! 6 months minimum!

lts too good to turn down.

Thanks for your comments, to be honest, there was no real doubts about going.

l am leaving here at mid-day to pack my St. George flag and HP sauce.

l hope to pop in from time to time to see how all my fiends (heh) and foes are doing.

ln the words of my hero Homer Simpson


So long, suckers!

RE: I`VE JUST BEEN TRANSFERRED!!

My head hurts. I not allowed speak to anyone about it. I can`t use the phone because its open plan office so everyone hears everything!

They REALLY want me to go. It was Mafia-like pressure.

I need a drink...

I`VE JUST BEEN TRANSFERRED!!

I work for the Foreign Office and just got called into my bosses office who has told me I am moving to another office for 6 months to 3 YEARS!!

....to NEW YORK!!!!!

I was told I don`t have to go, but if I do, I am going on WEDNESDAY!!!!

This is insane! One minute I am messing around on the forums, planning my weekend early, then to be told if l want to represent UK interests in the states! I was chosen as someone else changed their mind on Monday

For once, l am completely lost for words!!!

Oh, can I let them know by Friday what I want to do!

RE: FIFA 2003...

Okay mind is made up. PES 2 for me.

RE: FIFA 2003...

Wow!

So much hostility and anger.....

RE: Playstationchipsuk:(

There is no reason whatsoever that a visa refund would take more than 48 hours, regardlesss of diatsnce, cost or item.

RE: For Sale: Pro Evolution Soccer 2 for PS2

Philistine!

RE: 28 Days Later.

Well, l can`t wait!

Sandra Bullock was so good in the first one! I just hope the sequel is as good!

RE: FIFA 2003...

Gosh, Deano, insulting mothers now. I underestimated your intelligence.

For a minute there l thought you were acting like a school kid. Your mum this, your mum that... My games better than yours.....

Not much of an imagination you have. Still, a throw back to 80`s insults is a bit nostalgic.

RE: FIFA 2003...

There you go again, my games better than yours, no, mines better than yours...

Geeks Vs Nerds.

...zzzzzzz....

RE: PC World £25 games sale

Duh! Did you not read my reply?

RE: Russian Siege - 116 of 117 dead from gas

Well, Grunt Boy, perhaps a review in the type of gas used would be sensible.

RE: PC World £25 games sale

"Are there any exclusions?"

Yes, England, Scotland and Wales

RE: all these animated pop-ups are doing my head in

Yeah, thats real nice of you Smiler to be willing to pay for information which can be found elsewhere on the internet for nothing.

RE: Russian Siege - 116 of 117 dead from gas

Well then l don`t know what you would call a botch job then Grunt Boy.

Again, l am not blaming them, as such, it was a no-win situation.

The fact that so many hostages died by Russian tactics tells ME it was a botch job.

RE: FIFA 2003...

No irony silly billy, l just have hours at work to waste.

RE: Indiana Jones on R2!!!

Lucas moves with the speed of a one legged tortoise

RE: FIFA 2003...

Not really my thing Deano, keep your member to yourself

And, try not to take yourself, this forum, or what is said too seriously

RE: FIFA 2003...

All this my game is better than your game.

The perfect example of geeks on the internet squabbling over nothing. Just like the Kirk/Picard debate seen on the Simpons.

Get out and play the real thing or are you the type who always got picked last for the team at school?

RE: Splash DVD!

Likewise!


Lots of these on ebay, already!

RE: Russian Siege - 116 of 117 dead from gas

This was a botch-job on the Russians part. The gas used was a huge mistake as so many innocent people died. But it`s still hard for me to criticise how it was handled as the Russians were put in a corner and had little time to act.

The bombing in Bali the other week was a warning as to how Muslim extremists will act totally without mercy. This group knew Russia was not going to pull out of Chechnya and the authorities knew, they knew this so presumed they were going to kill the hostages for their "cause"

I don't think US/UK support for Russia has anything to do with Russia backing any attack on Iraq, but more to do with the global rise in Muslim terrorism.

This whole situation ended badly, so lessons should be learned on what to do next time it happens. And we all know there will be a next time.

RE: My lastest 3 games are Superb!

l have MAFIA for the P.C. which is the game GTA3 dreams about becoming one day.

Just make sure your specs. are up to it

RE: Has anybody....

All this excitement over a free dvd.

There`s no point moaning. Just be patient. Fox will deliver.

Lets be honest, a lot of people got a little greedy. People creating extra hotmail accounts, ordering more than one dvd wanting all three of another for a friend/Christmas/ebay whatever.

Fox have said it would come, later than originally planned, but will arrive.

You`re getting something for nothing, a little spam in your email address (anyone giving a company their "main" email address deserves all the spam their inbox can take!!) which you can just ignore.

Fox will deliver.

RE: £5.00 Amazon Gift Certificate ...going free

RE: thedvdforums.com - Whats goin` on?

I think "Mr. X" has a lot more to worry about, than what a few people think about on a dvdforum. l am pretty sure it wouldn`t exist on his "to sue" list
