Today I bought...

[SiHart]

It's time for a new purchasing thread. I'm starting it even though I haven't bought anything today.

[Si Hunt]

I'm hunting down the Original Star Trek series on blu-ray, if anyone knows where it is less than £100...

Si.

[SiHart]

Tricky. For some reason the Trek series seem to hold their value.

[SiHart]

It's cheap on DVD today...

Or Blu Ray £99.87 (so under £100, just!)

[Nyder]

You see, this is what's putting me off buying a Blu-Ray - the cost of the discs!

[Si Hunt]

It's not normally that much more expensive than DVD... not sure why these Trek ones are twice as much on the blu ray!!

Si.

[Philipnet]

If it was me, I'd rather go for the better packaged box set:

[Si Hunt]

I'm confused! Would you rather buy Season 1 for £45 than Seasons 1 to and 3 for £100 total??

Si.

[Philipnet]

I'ld rather than a box set that looked good on the shelves (because that's where it's going to spend most of it's time) and didn't scratch the discs.

[Larry]

As it's my birthday in a couple of weeks I thought I'ed treat my self and I pre ordered NCIS season 8.

[Stuart Wallis]

Good call Ducky!*

Given the popularity of Star Trek, I'm tempted to make a cynical remark!

Anyway, I've bought stuff:

Early Takes vol. 1 by George Harrison
Made In Basing Street by Lol Creme and Trevor Horn's new band, the Producers
The Trail Of The White Worm
the Oseidon Adventure



*- Any complaints about this are to be forwarded to the makers of NCIS. Or David McCallum.

[Phillip Culley]

On my latest attempt to get the DVD's I'm missing, I've just ordered The Sensorites, The Sun Makers and Ace Adventures - all coming in at slightly under £30 at Amazon!

I thought that too, but I have now bought a Sony Blu-Ray player which upscales your DVD collection to near Blu-Ray quality. I have to say that the picture is a lot brighter and sharper.

[SiHart]

A haircut and a white magnum.

[Nyder]

They should give out free Magnums with every haircut! Who do I need to speak to in order to enshrine this in law??

[SiHart]

I'll support you! This HAS to become law. It's more sensible than most of the things the Government are coming up with right now!

[Si Hunt]

Si loves a Magnum.

Si.

[SiHart]

Magnums are magnificent.


This is why i'm not in advertising...

[Stuart Wallis]

White Magnums should be given away at every conceivable moment. Like condoms...

[Philipnet]

I can see it now; on street corners, sellers saying
"Do you want a condom with your Magnum?"

[Dave Tudor]

It would be great if you could get Magnum packets of three for £1 in pub toilets.

Let's stop there.

[Philipnet]

Do you want a:

• Multi-Flavour Magnum 3 pack?
• A King Size Magnum 3 pack?
• Extra Pleasure Magnum 3 pack?

[Rob McCow]

Slipping a condom over a Magnum is the only way to be sure that you'll be safe from it's delicious chocolatey taste.

[Si Hunt]

I just dropped into this thread and WTF?!

Si.

[SiHart]

They're all mad. And I started it all merely by buying a white chocolate magnum.
