Things wot I funt out this wickend

Stoke are miles better than West Brom could even imagine.

Vindaloo sauce with your main meal is not a good idea

My son is becoming the Grove R of Hanley, the dirty little bastard is boffing women older than I am.

My hip flask holds 1/4 pint of Jamesons

The Lancashire Hotpots are the most random band on the planet

MHG and I really cannot dance to Lupa Tom when we're sober

Being at work whilst your team are putting in the best performance of the season and winning 4-0 is incredibly gutting.

People in Supermarkets the weekend before Christmas are animals (I knew this already, but I was just remembering)

Finally winning a pub quiz after years of trying is ace

Winning a pub quiz is made easier when you had half the questions at a quiz earlier in the week

That Microsoft repairs to an Xbox 360 are gash.

My third XBox 360 is down in Havant or wherever their warehouse of cuntaddled simpletons is based, and has been for weeks.

I will kill them all eventually

I'm on the phone to them now...I've been very VERY polite and want them (reasonably I feel) to send me a substitute console while mine is being 'fixed'. Or they just send me a new one whrn they collect the old one.

A Scanner Darkly makes no sense at all after a belly full of beer.

Vanity Fair now has a happy ending.

Good things happen when folk get confused about Roky and Rory.

I'd be surprised if they go for it - they're scripted tards - This current repair is a month old and that's on their 'highest priority' as it's a replacement of a replacement.

Maybe I was too polite and should have pestered them more. Still, I reckon I'll get another Xbox live voucher that I'll never use out of it - woo!

[e17hoop]

I've managed to squeeze them for a new wireless controller and Forza 2 so far.

*edit
XBox live is great btw - I'll have the voucher if you don't want it.

[pear]

Right - I'll ring them to check on the repair progress and give them a bit of a polite bollocking - hopefully freebies shall be forthcoming.

Especially now that those rotters at Microsoft have spoit Christmas for my made up Dickensian orphan chimneysweep nephew, who I'd imagine will be sitting in the corner on Christmas morning sobbing as he has no console to kill zombies on.

Regrettably, that's EXACTLY what's happening. I've got through to someone else now.

[e17hoop]

Spoke to a Saffer in Reading (their HO in the UK) and they've escalated the query. 24 hour turnaround with the XBox Customer services (probably Thursday now). Still got the game and controller offer, will be a priority repair (which we know means fuckall) and will push for a substitute consle whilst mine is being repaired.

And I'l just have to play on JnrJnr's Wii instead.

*edit
Oooooh...on the phone now.

new console offered, will be despatched when mine is collected from home, probably get it by 1st/2nd week January, still getting Forza 2 and a new controller.

1. 75th Birthday parties can be a reet larf

2. After drinking large quantities of red wine followed by a reasonable quantity of decent brandy followed by a small quantity of *cooking* brandy, Mrs Lark becomes a) very drunk b) very emotional and c) very sick

3. A fairly inocuous trip can cause not one but two bone breaks in your foot and lead to six weeks in plaster
