I'm SO peeeed off, it's untrue.

I left the flat four hours ago, hoping to return pretty sharpish with a new XBox.

However, due to British Rail being a complete bunch of t*****s, it's taken me this long to get back. With NO XBox.

I had 1 change to make on my journey, it should have taken me about 45 mins to walk from from my flat to the train station, get a train, make one change, get to Egham and walkt to the SR shop.

However, my train is late. I miss my connection. Only one train per hour. Fudge. Have to wait, in the cold and rain, for 59 minutes for the next one.

It comes, I get to the SR shop.

I'd phoned up before so the bloke knew what I wanted and it was all sorted. Just had to fill out the form for the 6 month Interest free thing. We do that, he goes to phone it through and confirm it. He comes back.

Sorry Sir, they did not accept it.

Poo. I've just remembered I did my PS2 on the same thing, and it's not paid off yet, that's why. Why didn't I remember this earlier?

Pretty peeved I had back to the train station, have to wait stupidly long time for the train, in the rain and cold. Repeat 'til I get back to the flat. Without even playing an XBox, as some spotty fat kid was on the pod at the SR shop for the WHOLE time I was there. Got I hate fat people.

So I'm pretty God damned annoyed. With British Rail for being utterly useless. And with myself for not thinking thigs through properly.

Anyway Wookiee, that XBox of your for sale yet?

Because in Walton there's no game shops.

The nearest one I knew of, was SR in Egham, which shouldn't have been that long. Only 25 mins each way on the train, plus a few minutes walking each end.

It shouldn't have been a problem.

sorry to hear that YH, it has to be said my brief encounter was pretty good, i went from clapham common(middle of london) to Effingham junction (middle of nowhere) for a day of paintballing, the trains were fine but then again i only changed once and trains were pretty regul\ar.......

Anyway why didnt you get one from a LOCAL store, wouldnt it be much better, i meen its better than takeing 1.5 hours+ to get a free reddie...........
