I think the company is fed-up of me complaining about things, the train has failed a few times to stop at my station when i either wanted to get on or off. With the getting off, they tried to charge me for the journey back, which was cheeky.

The journey i take daily to get to work varies on price on a daily basis. There is this thing some conductors call a "cheap" day, where train fares (well, a return from where i live to work on 2 trains) are £8 a return on a Tuesday and Thursday. Other days, at the same time the price is £10.10 for the same journey. I did some research into this, and found the £10.10 price is for peaktimes between 7am and 8am. Not for the times i travel, i'm in the process of getting a refund (i kept all my tickets because i thought the prices were wrong). Now i get the cheaper rate because everytime one of these conductors tries to charge more and claims the price was a "cheap" day price, i show a Monday ticket and get the cheaper rate. Stupid conductors try to get more money out of you by changing the clock on the machines, keep an eye on that guys and gals. I used to have a travel pass, but i lost it. Arriva want to charge £15 for a replacement, which they can kack off. For a weeks travel, it costs £35 with a pass. These price rises are stupid, they rose the price in January with the promise of more reliable trains and more frequent trains. I've yet to see either happening. The train i get from Cardiff to Ty Glas (where i work) breaks down often. Recently, there has been a collapse by central which is stopping all trains from going from Central to Queen Street (both in Cardiff). Do they offer free transport for disabled persons, no. They expect you to walk to Queen Street to get on a train to another station to transfer to a different station to get the train you need to get to work. Which is now running once every 2 hours. Reliable, no. Cost effective = No.

Yeah, sucks about paying more for a digital download. I'd expected to pay the opposite prices for each version.

Can't fault them, they were very good with changing an address for me as well. I used Paypal to order MGS HD and it changed my address on-site to my old address. Simply asked Shopto, who changed it to my new address no questions asked.

Shopto never fault indeed, i got mine ordered there. I say this from previous experience with GAME, havn't used them for online orders since before they nearly went under.

GAME say it's dispatched for orders, but they hold them for a day or two still.

Amazon have it for pre-order at £29.99, which seems to be cheaper than the DD version. I'll stick to hard-copies until DD's are cheaper.

You can do it @Haden, i'm sure a fair way will be decided on who gets the home advantage. Bring on the new season. Also looking for a friendly for Friday, anyone interested?. Got some new players i wish to try out.

N-E meet at Ese's place?

I don't feel the need for a new console. I don't believe they could get more powerful than they are now either.

Will they ever release this, it seems to keep getting delayed. It makes me laugh, i'm thinking the same as Grazza. They seem to be pushing the likes of Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing into the Zelda league of development. Which is close to being a joke really, not the Zelda league as we've learned to expect delays on these games.

I endorse the above statement as factual!!.

Welcome back online. I'll have to look at that picture when i get home, but it sounds like you are having an excellent time indeed.

What a closing ceremony indeed, very well done indeed. Ok i wasn't too fond of George Michael or Jesse J murdering "We Will Rock You". The video of Freddy Mercury warming the crowd up was classic indeed. John Lennon's face appearing in formation was legendary indeed, very well done indeed. I kept wondering if Lennon was alive now, would he have been the one singing at the opening ceremony instead of that McCartney bloke?. The tribute to "Fools and Horses" was good, even Eric Idle surprised me indeed. Overall, it was a fantastic ceremony indeed. Much better than Beijing overall, a very British event and one that i'm proud to say i'm glad to be British.

I was thinking about it earlier today, was planning to do a live draw until around 4pm earlier. Then thought, how would it be possible with the closing ceremony taking place. Pretty good idea to do a pre-recorded one. I don't indend to do a pre-recorded again, unless something mega pops up.

Sorry about this chaps, but the closing ceremony for the 2012 games is on at 9pm so i won't be able to do a live draw. However, i did the semi-final draw earlier today. The footage is below for your enjoyment. Semi 1 Dragooo vs Silverdale (Rowan) Semi 2 Coloccini FC vs Rising Phoenix

Wait, what........

It's stupid the points expire. I mean, Ninty update the catalog a few times a year, all the good stuff is a lot of points. And when they do update the catalog, our points expire preventing purchases of the stuff.

Forgot to send my PM in, did it earlier. Sorry chap

I've noticed i've been eating a lot more fruit than i've ever eaten, mostly oranges and apples at the moment. Have at least 2 in work and one on the way home. I'm also quite fond of blueberries, usually got a pot in the fridge at any one time.

Noticed the activity building up, see it was a summer slump. I'm getting the time back as work is quieting down and moving slowly back onto non-pressure work once more.

Umm, yeah. Welcome to the forums as it were.

What she do, put a different beard on each time she went "out" with the girls.

Awesome, i'l throw some up later. Edit: First batch of Bish's

Dragoo in the semi's, well i never. Won against Leeds today 2-1 in a friendly, which was nice. Looking for another for Tuesday, anyone interested.
