Basil

was going back thru some old 80s and 90s music on you tube watching these two below but after watching the second one listed way down the queue i think may have been a song by @Hollywood E Rock didn't know you had a song out hollywood 🤣 was it you? basil 😀

@Count Dantes and everyone else yes im ok i think, think the docs finally doing his job correctly now something he's not done right for last ten years certain pills im on have very serious side effects towards my bones i only found out this year by mistake as a result of my illness updating on checking info from the official society with there updated advice this is something that he should have been testing for but hasn't. doctors and they want me to trust them but i can't change these pills as could have very serious consequences only my daily life and me actually working, everything really it would stop me driving for a kick off. but thanks to these magic pills my life is normal and has kept me ok since the age of 15 and now 45 in a safe way. the doctors the gps keep wanting to review my meds all the time cos saves them money, last time i allowed that i lost my driving licence for 3 years as the direct result of that, so they can fook themselves now. its all in control my way and sod there costs (thats all there trying to do way nhs is funded to the doctors surgerys) end of convo with them. dont want to be a member of the great unwashed either as they say i'm a worker not a shirker. but i have got a feeling i'm going to have an op on my wrist the day surgery hasn't solved the problem fully and i need to work being able to lift things, well find out at the end of the month when i go back to see consultant surgeon he said he will personally look after me when we last spoke. so fingers crossed he just goes for the full op rather than another day surgery trying something else where if lucky get 3-6 months pain free. i just want to get back to normal and forget all the hassles of this medical crap it does get you down after a while. sometimes life deals you a sh1t hand you then just goto make the best of it and carry on. what i have i would not wish on my worst enemy it really is soul destroying when it does go wrong. basil

very vaguely remember the zavvi one but wasnt that over keen on the artwork but have seen the best buy one which seem more up my street found this video basil 🙂

right just back in from hospital bloody 5 vials of blood they took from me even nurse asked was something seriously wrong with me for that amount, oh dear anyway was just looking at ridley scott to see if there has been an update to battle of britain but nothing more than still announced, but i stumbled onto a film that scott did and i missed at the time, with matt damon and just watched trailer looks really cool anyway back from 2015 the martian has anyone seen it can give comment if was good or sh1t? rotten tom scores from audience look good and i take that as a rough guide. i tag a few of you see if your remember it @Scary Hair @Robertm89 @Pbsw23 @RileyLad @Hollywood E Rock @Veum @extantsrevenge also if was good was there a premium of it released? basil 😊

i heard nils but im not allow to say, only thing i can reveal it comes with a and donalds country is supplying the masks, amazing thats all he wanted in the trade deal 🤣 you thought he be selling the antibacterial bottles as well 😄 basil 🤔

hi strike yes i get for some it meets their needs as they order lots from zavvi and in that case it may pay for itself in the long run. i used to be in that camp many years ago, its like alot of older members will remember zavvi always used to have free delivery on every steelbook release. been in the steel game about 15 odd years now. there customer service used to be dire and if you got a damaged steel they just used to offer money off as alot of the time they never kept steels back for replacements. so you either ended up with a damaged steel with a bit of money off it you were lucky when it occurred. if they had not used the white steelboxes which could happen if they used to ship from a different warehouse or they run out of white boxes which did happen quite alot and on other forums we had to fight to get them reinstated after they tried withdrawing them without any notice that took some doing. also new members won't be aware of zavvi tactics you got the pre-order then would magically sell out within 1 day or two then about 1 week before release or afterwards they would find magic stock they claimed they didn't know they had lol (actually down to they don't have a live stock system as well and they manually have to put back in old orders as well), that went on regularly as they treated customers badly and for idiots. people got pissed with them quick. thats not to mention some steels sold that well they then did reprints later on of the same steel claiming they found stock hidden somewhere again treating us for idiots. that in itself drove alot of steel collectors away from zavvi. imagine having something from a 4000 print run then they decided they want to another few thousand not quite as limited as they make out. bit like original marvel wwa steelbooks released then a year down the line doing lenticular version basically cash extraction is zavvis thing, i know that sounds cynical but i have seen most of zavvis tricks in the past some really unbelievable. i meant no one any offence earlier to anyone its just zavvi have added a delivery charge then to try bring them in more revenue then added a red carpet service, its just i have seen alot of these tricks before and now they are making more money out of you all. where delivery used to be free, oh and still is at amazon and hmv. hence why i always try to put my orders there way instead. it only change when people vote with their feet but each to their own. @Scary Hair may not remember all of this but i do, they are not as pure as the driven snow trust me! i always try to be honest as i can but those are my experiences, ann may remember some of what im talking about all the best basil 👍

well folks happy thursday, been busy day of nothing again at work. and this afternoon to top it all of goto go to london tomorrow to pick up van load of cardboard and then goto try get back for 12-1pm for hospital pull blood out of me so the net result i goto leave work at 6am so now i goto leave home at 5.15am anyone else got a crap day tomorrow? basil 😭

Amazes me anyone would pay zavvi for red carpet service what a con imho There steels sell out but always come back and if people pay for that there just being mugged. I'm remember the zavvi customer service pretty shocking tbh in the past but eventually you get past them once you move into premiums. My advice for what its worth dont get red carpet or once you start paying you'll never stop and watch the fee go up year on year, as long as people pay they keep charging. People should vote with there feet. I'm astounded they charge for delivery now, I take all my orders to either Amazon or hmv who are still free. Zavvi have become piss taking robbing so an so's, that want a piece of the premium market place but are far away from it, by a country mile in fact. All I say get a manta or hdzeta or blufans an really see a difference and once you do you'll never stop😆 Basil😎

Quality idea kudos @Veum 👍

Well glad to hear you got some options Hollywood, well yesterday I was a hero at work out gas charging machine fooked not working suddenly blowing fuses on control board and 4 engineers including director of engineering could not work why it was doing this they been at for 2 days flat. Anyway after they all disappeared I decided to have a long and in depth look anyway found the issue, we had machine serviced last week and some how a stray bolt got under an electrical 24v contacter and was blowing out to earth and taken the solenoid systems out anyway back up an running now. they where going have to wait for service engineer to come back from Germany next week lol Director of engineering well happy with me now just saved them thousands of pounds🤣 Anyway looking forward to nice premiums this year, and hdzeta DC line up looking particularly nice this year I think, hopefully also blufans maybe get out from under there cloud of licences and get some serious releasing again hoping by August sept its goona go into overdrive Basil😎

like the bit hope things will turn out for the best in 2020.

@Scary Hair ann you do realise in next week or so 30th anniversary steel for hunt for red October is coming out wwa 3 or 4 retailers Also talking of premiums and older films would love to see blow done about George Jungs life Basil 😎

good morning everyone if you can call it that been having the most disturbed sleep ever. it been blowing a hooley all night winds here been 80mph most of the night to top it all off i have a steel tumble dryer vent in the bedroom wall for our air conditioning unit we use in the summer and its been banging all night because of the very high winds and there wasn't a jot i could do to stop it. i hope everyone else in the uk had a better nights sleep than i did on the south coast in the uk. anyway today weather is supposed remain like this most of the day high wind and blowing drizzle, so completely lazy day today. maybe some films later but ain't doing much thats for sure. whats weather like where you are @Hollywood E Rock and @Veum ? basil

well @Veum and @Scary Hair this is for you

not seen this film yet everyone raving about it so will see in time. but to me this looks like pop art and they never enter my collection as is just lazy art imho. basil

@Veum your project could you not remove the old lights and refit with led lights instead? basically new led lights last 40-50 thousand hours before they go again. could well be worth the time and effort for a change to them as a thought and no more changing bulbs ever plus led save sh1t load on electric! basil 😁
