    I totally expected the content to be fairly tame, but after viewing the vob files I was taken aback at the content - absolutely nothing left to the imagination, no censorship whatsoever, also no condoms - what about safe sex?

    Never realised Hard Core Pornography was legal in the UK!

    Fair enough. I assume hard core is legal as it only appears they are banning child !!!!!! and violent !!!!!! online. I'm guessing therefore that ordinary hard core is legal, only guessing as I said.
    It's someone else's fault.
  • Same here....Arrived at my parents house, where is not lived for 5 years!

    Phoned the 0844 number and there's a recorded message saying to leave your details, spelling any unusual names or words and you'll be removed from the database.

    They've gone straight in the bin...Hope that's the end of it.

    My friends teenage daughter called me today to tell me some post had arrived at their house for me, (I had mail redirected there about 5 years ago for a few weeks by post office). I told her to open it as was probably junk and OMG, she now thinks I'm some sort of pervert !! Not happy and they have gone straight in the bin.

    Got the disks.

    Envelope had my full name but no title.

    I enter competitions. I buy from Ideal Tv shopping channel. I don't know what the PlayStation thing is.

    My husband was mildly amused but glad it didn't arrive in an envelope with his name.

    I'm in Northern Ireland, so looks like it's UK wide.

    Can the regulars on these boards STOP replying to this troll??

    If you had read the thread properly you will see that 'the regulars' have received these as well!! and other regulars that haven't are being friendly and offering some good advice as well. Your comments would make newbies like me not want to return to this site if we felt we would get those sort of things said every time we posted something just because we are newbies!!

    Just because we are newbies does not make our points any less valid than yours or make us Trolls. How about YOU as a regular stop replying on a thread that you think is a fabrication and putting down newbies. As they say if you can't say anything nice then say nothing at all :p

    I'm not a newbie - I've been around here for quite some time. I got my two disks today.

    Needless to say Mrs Biglugs was curious as to why I was chosen!

    What is surprising is how good the addressing was - I can only assume my name has been purchased off one of the internet spammers who buy your details off those life insurance aggregator sites. Honest.

    It's clearly a scam - the disks are labelled "Unsubscribe from this disc Call 0844 096 1055" which I assume is there to con the unsuspecting into phoning up to protest about unsolicited !!!!!!, and then charging them large sums of cash in the process.

    Not that the authorities will care, or can do anything about it, but there is also a description on the discs that reads "Service Provided by Quietlynn BV, PO Box, NZ Voorburgwal 86, 1012 SE, Amsterdam, Netherlands".
    You don't get medals for sitting in the trenches.

    The 0844 number doesn't cost the earth, the real cost is the number to ring to get the pin code.

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Has this been reported to trading standards? it may well be worth doing so they can add to or build a file of evidence of any scams going on
    I am responsible me, myself and I alone I am not the keeper others thoughts and words.
