The Jammy Beggar Thread
 

Ok, then, here we go.........
I can't be the only one who has been given stuff gratis due to their preferences vis a vis cinema/music???
You know, civillians who buy certain things due to hype or for whatever reason really, but find that they just can't handle what they have bought, or find it boring etc.
Slightly more preferable to being shown 3 Ukranians 1 hammer as well......:lol:


I ramble.

Just yesterday, one of the other shops asked me to "sort" their media, as their chap has just moved away etc. Fair dos etc. Took me 80 minutes, and in amongst this was a sealed copy of the 2009 dvd reissue of Fawlty Towers. Which I offered to pay for etc. The manager wouldn't hear of this.....and I'l be doing their media from now on, or until they get another anal bugger in haha.

So, since I'm not given stuff every day, this is open to anyone, tales of luck and just being in the right place at the time maybe??

:glitter: woo hoo I luv jammie dodgers.......

Attachment 167003

Was given Lethal Weapon 4 (R1 snapper)
and The Man With The Golden Gun
for moonlighting again.?Had to sort through a whole bag of Region 1 stuff, sadly nowt exciting, but some nice looking things...Cracker sets that resemble books (and I don't mean hardboxes either!!) etc. What a week!

Was given Mesrine, the UK edition with both films. Have seen this already, so am looking forward to another viewing!!

Acquired a Hawkwind 3 dvd set and complete Bottom (dvd). Lawdy! :)

You get all these dvds but wheres the jam filled biscuits ?

Good luck!

I had some Hawkwind videos back in the 80's, and (because of the visual effects) I found them unwatchable

Night Of The Hawks is one of them.

Was given
The Others (Dimension US 2 discer)
Dr Who - The Movie (BBC UK) still sealed!
South Park Series 1 (US Fox)

They can't/won't sell R1 stuff, so I get first pick. The McGann was a bonus.

We did get some in this week. Lidl's equivalent mind.....;)

I was given this.

Kudos!! :)

Mate came round and said "Do you want these? I've finished with them...."

The Far Side Galleries 1-5

2 Fantastic Four collections

A Peanuts Treasury (quite the elongated hardback this one cough)

All in very nice condition. Lawdy!!

More things....

Kingsman (UK dvd)
The Babadook (UK dvd)

another mate came round and said "these were shite"
so I said "are you blind?"
Upshot...I have 2 new films. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee ahem. Hail Satan!;)

The babadook Jesus what did you do too theses people for them to give you that !

:lol:

I said I would re watch it, so fate lends a claw.....;)

Acquired Romeo Must Die (UK snapper!), WAZ and Hollow ("The British Blair Witch!" screams the cover....this will be the 3rd one I've seen haha). WAZ I liked, so happy happy joy joy etc

Mate finally counted all of his...only 3 dupes is not a bad count considering he never takes note of what he has bought haha.

So I gets the Severin dvd of Malabimba through the post.

Sealed!

:woot::blush:

It felt just like Christmas for me this morning as i just spent the last few hours sorting through the boxes and bags i was given and found some great stuff.

Included in the bundle was retro consoles, controllers and games, HD DVD's and a player, dvds, blurays and to my surprise some Marvel/DC, Star Wars action figures and what looks to be Gatchaman vehicles. Now the hard bit is i have to decide what i want to keep and what needs to go.

It's all in such good condition! Congratulations. Shame about the HD-DVD, unless you have a player that is...

Mate came over to show off his latest additions
Hands me 3 dvds
The LWT Goodies (silly but tired looking awww)
The Watcher (some kind of second tier horror Expendables :lol:)
Cat O'Nine Tails ... the Blackhorse 1 :laugh:

2 outa 3 aint bad ...;)

i was given when i was 11 years old this big tolkien book worth £25 for free, which gives all this back story and lore to tolkien universe

Was given a Xbox 360.

Which means I can finally finish Portal II :hail::thankingyou:

I just want to state for the record that I cannot hypnotise anyone. :laugh:

Have you started trolling the same docks as Trebor? I suppose there's enough sailors for everyone.

:lol:

"Itl be two quid ...."
;);)

Mate sent me the new Part Chimp cd iV
Which was nice

Can't go wrong with a bit of Funkadelic. :thumb:

Indeed you can't D
When they sang the title track in Liverpool twas a special moment ...

The rest are a mixture of electronica, ambient and just plain out there :)

Funkadelic and Portishead were the only ones i'd heard of. :lol:

Grimes is a Canadian lass who should be on the radio just as much as Rhianna imo. This album at least ;) The majority of her stuff is er, unusual to say the least. Same goes for Maria M ;)

I still keep thinking this thread says Jammy Dodgers,it such an anti climax whenever I read the posts, not a biscuit in sight....:confused:

Just the crumbs mam just the crumbs ;)

Attachment 192820

Ya got Jammy Dodgers on the mind Inspector.
You know the old saying 'You are what you eat', better stop now before it goes any further.;)

Forgot to say I received The Transporter Refuelled on BD gratis. Sealed.
It will stay like that as well :nod:

I didn't mind it to be honest.

Clark and Portishead :loveeyes:
I like Grimes but not Art Angels, it's far too poppy and conventional for my tastes, but my other half swears by it and he went to see her twice on her last tour. I stayed at home :lol:

He's ok in Deadpool but his quizzical look before fighting made me titter ;)

Ah but was that not the point with AA though? Hence my dig at the only girl in the world ;):laugh:

I missed that back and forth with Dem :lol: Yes it was very much the point and she made no bones about it. I was impressed by how much her studio wizardry had come on from previous records, in fact from Geidi Primes to Halfaxa to Darkbloom to Visions the progression is very apparent, but Art Angels was a step too far for me :lol:

Clark on the other hand gets better and better each album, his new one, Death Peak is amazing. I'd say the same for Portishead, 3 is the best thing they've done!

Nae heard new Clark yet, noted.
Machine Gun still kicks bottom etc. ;)
