Hi SD
Sounds like you've had an interesting but good time.:D

ARGOS, the same thing happened with us as well.
My youngest had an xbox game for xmas, the polythene wrapping still on it and when opened there was naff all in there apart from booklets......:eek:, trying to prove this though was not easy but hubby called the manager and he came running with another, hubby made him open it to make sure a disc was inside.:D

Glad you got your issues sorted with them.:T

Lmao! Awesome! I was served by some part time school kid, what with it being the weeknd. I couldn't tell where her face started and where the make up ended. :rotfl: That is a very tricky thing to prove. Glad you got it dealt with. What you been up to then? Reading about your phone, I think you've fried it!

lol, well there was a youngster on the till on boxing day morning, and she said to hubby "I don't think there is anything we can do", hubby said "I want to speak to your manager", she went to see him and he just came out with a replacement, the thing is with Argos their rules is with software, games etc, is that once its been opened your not eligible to have a refund or so, but how the heck are you supposed to know without opening the damn things if the discs are inside, and of course the discs are slotted in, and what was moving about inside was the booklets only......:eek:.
My hubby told them how upset our son was and about his needs to the one on the till, so she must have explained all to the manager, because he asked nothing and just came out with the replacement.;)

Hi SD, did frankie and benny know you were going? What did you have to eat, i cant stand Argos always have some problem with them.

Hi Di, you could try putting the phone on top of the radiator, take the battery out and put this on the radiator too, we have resuccitated (sp) a few this way Emma dropped one in the field and the horse stood on it and Hubby has dropped a few into the water, the best ones to give the kiss of life to are Motorola Razors.:TTesco seems to have a good deal on PAYG getting about £30 free calls I think. Good Luck for son tomorrow, he will be fine Di, you and hubby brought him up he will be great.:cool:

Hi everyone else enjoy today. I'm off to take the dog out then the ironing doh! Just re-read this I'm not taking the ironing for a walk

Hi hun
Hope your well.;)

I have tried all that, but its an old phone anyway, about 7 years......which is what you would call old these days for a moby I suppose.....:o, and its been playing up for a while as well, so it looks like I finished it up.:o:D.

Never mind, we have a few of Jamie's old ones here, he said I could have one of them.........:D:T:T

That is the whole problem! How are supposed to know without opening it up?! X ray vision? That must have really sucked for your son on xmas day. I hope they were apologetic. :j I hate using them to be honest but it's ok for xmas presents. They wanted to give me money back on a gift card and I said no, you've still got my money then! Hence heated debate, manager called, a few choice words, he hid and told her to refund me on my card! :rotfl:

Hi DNPG.

They didn't have a clue I was coming! They were most shocked! I had deep fried calamari, the mixed grill of two steaks, a sausage, a piece of chicken, toms, mushroom, fries, peppercorn sauce, a massice baked chewy cookie with brownie and cream ice cream, 6 bottles of bud and a double courvoisier.
Don't talk to me about Tesco! :rotfl:

Yeah that's right, this was actually a pressie from a family member as well and they did not know what to say, but gave the receipt, they felt terrible, it was not their fault, but I bet someone had 2 of those discs......:eek:,or the machine skipped it.......

Lol, good for you........:T:T:D

I can't imagine that every box will have a disc in, the machine will mess up at some point. What would be the point in you guys having two discs of the same game?! Good that they replaced it.:cool:

Hmm yeah that's right, but you never know "if anyone did have 2 they may have possibly sold the other to make themself a little dosh":eek:

Glad they did replace it though.......:D:T:j

This is true. But you said the box was still wrapped so I'm guessing machine error. Not unless one of the staff at the manufacturers was a !!!!! and nicked it off the line but if he/she worked there, they would probably get it for nothing anyway.
