Hello fellow bloggers!

I've made a little mistake with the GAME.co.uk website; I've accidently pre-ordered two of the same game! Ooops lol I didn't realise till it was too late and they'd sent me the "your order is on its way!" emails. It's not a bad thing though, because I ended up getting two of the free WWE t-shirts they had as an offer for anyone who pre-ordered it! Ha-ha, VICTORY IS MINE! I'm really over using that Stewie phrase lately, but oh well!
It's alright though, I can get the full £39.99 if I take the game and my receipt into any of their stores, so I'll be doing that ASAP when I get a chance to go into either Scarborough or Bridlington!

I really wish they'd make a section of the site to check what orders you have already sent for. Like HMV.com or Amazon.co.uk do, because it would make life a lot easier for us idiots who don't check their site-registered email account often.

...In other news, fireworks night was a success! My little brother even got on the front page of a local Scarborough paper; The Evening News. He went to a stall selling all flashing crap, you know? The kind you get at fairs! Flashing light sabres, light up bunny ears, the works... He picked a flashing windmill that spins around and makes a pretty pattern (yes, I'm a big kid who likes flashing objects!) and next thing I know this strange guy is tapping my mum on the shoulder asking if Callum is her son and if it would be okay for him to take a photo for the paper, we naturally said yes! Little did we know his was to be one of the main photos of the evening! That made my little brothers day I think, that and the fireworks of course!
We had a few in our garden too, including a cake firework that had something like 50-shots in it. Woke a few of the neighbours (or boors, up to you) up with that one, haha...

VICTORY IS MINE!
In the sense of that I won! Lol, yep she's agreed to refund me £40! It's a tad short on the £55 I spent but at least I'm getting something back eh?

I need to be refunded for two other statues that I got which royal mail decided to smash to pieces in the delivery rooms! Seriously, how hard is it to take care with a box? I've had loads of delicate things sent to me in the post and never had this problem before. I blame the postal strikes! It kicked up a huge backlog and the only way they could get it back to was to rush all the post and throw things about.

Is disgraceful that in the year 2007 we have to worry about things being lost of broken in transit! Royal Mail better buck up their ideas and stop fucking up if they want to stay in the public's good books, saying that, I bet the currier services are rubbing their hands right about now. The more Royal Mail screw up the more business traders like FedEx will get.

Okay, this is a very long story but I'll try and start at the being and keep it simply so everyone can understand.

Right, well.. Basically I ordered this greyhound statue for my Dad from a seller on eBay for £40 (+£15 PnP).  The statue arrived poorly packaged and broken beyond all repair! Not to mention the postage paid to send it only cost the seller £7! That's a far cry from £15 if you ask me and I fail to see how a secondhand box, a small bit of a bubble wrap and what appears to be a small foam piece of some kind can bump it the cost that much. It's disgraceful.

Anyway, after several emails through the eBay system the seller refuses to refund unless I send it back, I told her I'm not spending more of my money just to prove to you that I'm not lying, so I sent her a photo link (direct to a JPEG) of the smashed greyhound and she claimed she couldn't open or see the image. BULL-SHIT. Every browser known to GOD can open a JEPG image, hell; I could even open it on my mobile phone! But no, apparently she couldn't.

After several long hours and emails from this rather arrogant, cocky, irritating seller she decided to tell me to "claim on PayPal", which I did. She came on yesterday and replied with the same old crap, I've even emailed her a photo of it now but knowing my luck her email won't show up! Lol.. Anyway, I opened a case, and bare in mind these are meant to be open cases to discuses and come to some agreement about it. I said I'd accept a £40 refund as that's what closing price of the auction was. But no, she escalated my open dispute to a full PayPal claim without me even having the chance to reply to the garbage spewing from her mouth and fingers.
So now it's been taken completely out of my hands and into PayPal's who'll charge me for their time even if I win the dispute, which angers me greatly! I mean, I didn't even have a chance to reply to her or argue my case on the appeal! I have to wait and see what PayPal decide to do, and see if they need any information from me to continue.

IT'S SO ANNOYING!

a)      Why can't people package things properly?

b)      Why be such a dickhead about it?

c)       If you can't even open a JEPG link, get off the computer. The internet hates you. You're a retard.

d)      At least give me chance to reply properly before claiming!

e)      FUCK OFF AND CHOKE.

Alright guys! It seems like Filey lions are having there free bonfire and fireworks display tonight, a few days early but its not a bad thing! Means I can go to more than one! Haha..

If its anything like last year then it'll kick ass! I even won on the hoop throwing games! I got a cheap bottle of pop, but it was the feeling that came with it that was a buzz! Lol

I should be meetings Matt later to go down with him, and Anneka is she's coming! Hope she isn't tied down at work again 'coz that's the reason she couldn't come out to Halloween! SUCKZ0R! But yeah, anyway, will be meeting him sometime later as fireworks start at 7-ish and the fire is only list like an hour or so before. Its only across from my house so that's cool, not far to walk!
Really wish Emily could come but alas, she has work. Shes coming down to stay over tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to that.. Sex all night (y) lol

Hope to see you all down there chaps! Give me a buzz over here if you're off! <3

"Rip it out in one quick heartbeat
We all have one chance
To make this our last stand
Keep this memory from the past
I swear she'll understand
That even broken men can still fall

Stand up and be counted
Don't be afraid to bleed your true colors
We all breath the same air
I'd rather die on my feet, than fade on the floor
My memory, you'll never forget
Your memory, I'll never forgive."

I have a thing for writing emo songs it would seem.. haha.. ah well
