Don't you just love the bargain bin. When in town today i came accross some severe bargains. I picked up Giants Citizen of Kabuto for the princely sum of a fiver. I must say i was well chuffed with this as this game is quite clearly imense at is only about a year and a half old. This is a top game and the multiplayer is immense. All three of the crazy races you play are quality and the game is genuinely funny. THe Bargain bin has truly served me well over the past few years. Titles such as syndicate, Zelda ocarina of time (shortly after release!), hitman, commandoes have all come into my life via the bargain bin. It seems to be completely random what these shops throw in there as the staff in nn specialist game stores clearly don't have a clue and throw things in the bargain bin, if the box isn't very pretty. Then there are those comical stores such as dixons or John lewis, which have random little games sections were every now and again you find an underpriced game, but 99% of the time you find PAC man on sale for £39.99 of something ridiculous like that. . Anybody else seen any commically priced items? I saw the sims original game for £35 in a shop the other day....jokers . How some shops work their pricing systems is beyond me.....Long live the Bargain bin!

Most? So you did do a few? That's still bad. But not AS bad. Sorry, didn't know that.

And what point are you trying to make? That people change their minds? I agree. But saying that you won't do something and then doing it isn't just changing your mind. You should have just not posted and left it at that, so when you returned people like me wouldn't be accosting you.

Indeed, unfortunately everybody will be casting there votes for el blokey as he is so cool.

Good old Gerrid, I have fond memories of the summers crazy election roadshow and the prank election, that was a laugh. I did quite well in that before the controversey began. ah the good old days

A) i don't care if you label me a liar or a hypocrite
B) i did not relay messages through many other users. Most of that was just asher D being immature and making them up.
C) Logical discussion only goes so far andthen you have to re-assess the situation like any rational person.....unless you have a one track mind which has absolutely no depth to it, like your self, and i'm sure many other users will agree you are an arrogant fool
D) if i want to change my mind that is my concern really isn't it, and if you don't like me why do you bother starting conversing with me.

What happened to you not being so petty as to go to a board where you were banned? If you hadn't said anything, I would never have batted an eyelid at you coming back with a new username, but creating such a fuss and having so many of your enthralling messages relayed by other posters just set up your return to be even more contradictive.

Hi, Didn't you get the pox or something (only joking), No i have decided to grace you with my presence, and i'm sure you are pleased to see me really aren't you. Oh well at least you will have some one to keep your usual whinings and vigilante behaviour in check.
