  • Cool - good spot original poster! Thanks! I don't read HDUK as MONEYSAVINGEXPERT is filled with much friendly, sharing people.
  • Well I for one dont use that HDUK and I dont even know the sites URL to go to it and why would I? I thought MSE was a good place.

    BUT!!!!!!! it seems like I was WRONG, people you all need to get a bloody grip, if you have this to moan about I would HATE to be a part of your everyday life......it must be so so sad.

    Even if it was copied from another site (and I believe the woman who said she honestly found it herself) who cares? it will be copied on that site to another and another and so on......what does it matter. This place is to SAVE MONEY, how do you honestly expect to save money without others finding the deals for you and sharing what they find.

    Now you have cost this forum 2 members who are no longer going to post here and you can damn well make it 3 by including myself, I have a lot of PC knowledge which I am no longer going to share on this forum, think how much you pay for PC support and help from the likes of PC world, now think you wont have another person to help you with those issues and that directly affects other users on here.

    People like you should not be allowed on here, you spoil it only because you are a sad little person with no damn life of your own so you feel the need to belittle others to make yourself feel good, I really feel sorry for you.

    Honestly this is better than Eastenders - so funny. So I post a slightly sarky comment suggesting the OP got this from HUKD and moral outrage is the response. :eek:

    Only to discover the OP has actually in the past cut and pasted deals from HUKD and been pulled up for not crediting the source (which is part of the forum rules BTW). :naughty:

    I then get the blunt end of a complete overreaction such as the the sanctimonious drivel above from Kiwicrazy and the rest of the parish council. :(

    Think carefully about what I actually wrote and compare with "you are a sad little person with no damn life of your own" - proportionate? :huh:

    Am I the rude one? Perhaps one of you should report me to the moderators if you think I am so far out of line - I guess you feel you can do their job better. :think:

    I've been a member here for a while and a bit of gentle banter has always been part of the fun of taking part. :p

    If there was an animated smilie that was sadly tutting with a slowly shaking head I'd insert it here.

    graemeakajimmy,

    My post, which I don't think was too harsh, but merely pointing was the sarcasm necessary and I don't think you are alone in using such sarcasm against others that don't necessarily know the 'rules' inside out. Before you say it, yes we should all read them and digest them, but to be honest, there's so much to read, you do miss some things, unless you have all the time in the world on your hands.

    Before you go searching, yes, I've recently had some backlash too on what I thought was actually a very genuine bargain, but what's one persons idea of a bargain, is not necessarily another persons.

    Right now though, I'm seeing more and more sarcasm against relatively new posters and yes, it is a put off.

    So, I still stand by a 'thank you' to the OP - Great deal, wish I was able to go for it, but it's too early in the year for me - I'll no doubt get ripped off later in the year when I may get one for my son for his birthday or xmas.

    Sue xx
  • For my twopeneth - It is a shame that there are users that are quick to criticise others and even go to the extent of raking through their histories.
    If you want to make a quick sarky comment remember to use the smilies in the first place then everyone will know that it is not intended to be rude.

    Of course there is the valid argument that users who try to boost themselves by re or cross postings other peoples finds should be picked up but please let us not get into long winded slagging matches.

    I will end it there as I am in danger of crossing my own 3rd point :grouphug: :silenced:
  • WOW, so many backstabbers and bullies on here, this is getting like hukd.
    Give the OP a break, good intentions and all that....
  • I was having a word with our nice entertainment lady today who said she had POS for this for instore to go out on Tuesday.

    She also said it was "20% off Selected Gaming Consoles, Software & Accessories." Not just the consoles like on Direct atm. Im guessing its to coincide with the TV offer finishing Monday.. Tuesday = Gaming. :D

    I believe the offer currently online was brought forward a bit as it is Valentines weekend..if your that generous to get your loved one a console :P

    Praying for my gaming chair to be included. :A
