Yesterday I purchased a black Gamecube from a store I will not name, but the first letter of the store's name is 'A'. Anyway I got home opened it up, at which point had noticed no problem, I set it up, put mario sunshine in it, (still have noticed no problems), after I played sunshine i deemed it necessary to play Metroid at which point I pressed the reset button(don't know why, was still trying to work out how to use it), but as I pressed the reset button it got stuck, at which point I noticed the disfigurement of the cube. In my excitement to play the thing I hadn't noticed an earthquake sized crack in the cube's plastic shell, running from the reset button all the down the side of the damn console, also on the back there where significant chips out of the cube's casing, great quality. Due to this event I instantly packed the cube up in it's box and in doing so I beleived that due to the hassle this has caused me I deserved to keep the control pad. So I took the cube back where it came from excluding a controller which they failed to noticed and got a new cube with a controller, so I have saved a good £24.99 as I gained an extra controller:) so in the end things are better but it was still extra hassle. Damn Arg** , I can just see it now, a trainee just left school working in the warehouse(or bit in the back of the shop where they magically get everything from), and aimlessly cobbing the cubes around in a lethargic manner, stupid trainee. Still I got an extra controller:)

Can you not see that I was just quite simply taking the ?

I don't care that you made a spelling mistake, it's just that you *always* do it to me. Like you've done at the top of this post 'You made around eight mistakes in your original post, as well as it being a pathetic piece of writing. Also you didn't use any paragraphs.' That is the sort of thing you would have inevitably said about my post at one point or another anyway.

The hell with it, it doesn't bother me, really it doesn't.

Perhaps, but if it was me he would pick it apart. He seems to like doing that, just has the habit of trying to make me look stupid whenever possible, for what reason I do not know, he must get kicks out of it.

You made around eight mistakes in your original post, as well as it being a pathetic piece of writing. Also you didn't use any paragraphs.


You're in no position to point out a single spelling mistake in one post.

Shame you didn't learn to spell.

You say I am a newbie yet I have been registered here 224 more days than you have, it's just that I actually have a life away from the computer screen:)

There is no such word as 'philistinic', and even if there was, I wouldn't say he was a phillistine anyway.
