I loved my train set when I was young. I got the Intercity one from Santa just after it came out. I always wanted a huge trainset in the attic where I could play undisturbed and hide bodies. I didn't get the whole attic
**** off you soft twats with yer trainsets, Scalextric was far better. Proper F1 racing cars, I had the Elf Tyrell and John Player Lotus in my day. James Hunt or the Fat Controller? No contest.
I had that too. Don't forget the six-wheeled Tyrrell (four at the front) and six-wheeled March (four at the back).
Man 'steals' games from HMV after they refuse to accept his vouchers Thats not stealing. Not particulary the right thing to do either, though I'm sure we can all understand it!!!
We were poor. Had to stick cardboard toilet roll tubes together and go "Choo-choo". All that DIY with toilet roll tubes was to come in handy later on in life when creating my 'bog roll, sock, clingfilm' sex toy. I still go "choo-choo" when I use it.
I had Railroad Tycoon on the Amiga which was like a sim city type game but you design a rail network. I think what this guy has bought is a train driving simulator, which is a really boring train nerd game that my dad likes to play.
That does sound boring! Sounds like doing a day at work, what next - a factory production line simulator?
absolutely right. seems to me there is a sound argument that they stole the money from those who bought them. entirely wrong imo.
My dad used to get really excited putting on the breaks and then waiting the full five minutes to see if it would crash into the Victoria St or stop on time. The crash didn't even have good effects with people dying and stuff, it just sort of informed you you had failed.
Surely if he had left the vouchers and the £6.80 and walked away there would be nothing the Police could have done as it would then have become a civil matter and not a criminal one!
Not exactly - any shop reserves the right to refuse to serve any customer regardless of their ability to pay - but I still feel that the man was morally right in his actions as HMV had been selling the vouchers in the busy pre Christmas period in the full knowledge that there was no way they intended to honour them - that in my opinion, is obtaining money by deception - which, if you read up on the Theft Act of 1968, means that HMV are the real villains.
I agree. Additionally, the stock will be sold off to pay secured creditors, much of which has already been bought and paid for by those that bought vouchers. Double whammy.
