Be Excellent To Each Other

It's a 360 Premium, it's just come back from Microsoft so it has a 1 year warentee. It hasn't got a HDMI output.
It'll come with Devil May Cry 4, a wireless controller and a 20GB HDD.

Erm... £150?

Also, Mr. Chris gets first refusal, but otherwise - who wants it?

All the Elite 360s have HDMI output, feller...

And a 120GB hard drive.

I suspect Grim... means the Premium. Except, now all Premiums have HDMI too. Oh, the confusion!

Yeah, unless he's changed it.

For sale: One Frankenbox.

£150 for an Elite is too cheap, so he must mean the Premium.

Er, yes, I do. Whoops.

Um - I'll have a think, but £150 is probably a bit much at the moment, unless you'll offer credit. June is the worst month of the year - two cars need MOT, tax, service and insurance, and the house insurance was due, so I'm a bit brassic this month.

It's payday in a few days, though.

From which I will lose many hundreds of pounds because only one week of the paternity leave I just took was at full pay.

I got two weeks at full pay. I thought that's what you were entitled to?

Yeah, I thought that, too.

I'm pretty damned sure you are entitled to two weeks on full pay. Yes, more or less, as long as you take it on block etc.

Anyway: Who wants a 360?

It'll be on eBay this afternoon!

I thought it was two weeks at statutory paternity pay, which is about £100 a week? Anything above that is at the discretion of the employer.

We only get the first week at full pay here.

This was the case last time I checked, of course, so if it's changed I'll be happy.

Two weeks at 90% of pay I thought.

From Richard's Direct.gov link:



There we go, see? Fuck all cash for me.

£117 or 90% of full pay, whichever is lower.

Maybe you lose a week for each pre-existing act of carelessness child.

The page I linked to covers all this. It's £117 a week or 90% of your pay, whichever is lower.

Indeed. I just quoted your link a few minutes ago.

Presumably, as for child three this goes into negative figures, they expect Mrs Chris to come into the office and lend a hand?

No Bezzinezz for Kissyfur.

WHO WANTS A FUCKING XBOX?

I'm pretty sure my parents said that and, well, I have two brothers.

edit: I'm also having fun imagining Mr. Chris as Gandalf now, plunging a staff into the ground, shouting the above.

I have a mate who wants one. I'll ask him.

A child? This is a thread about children.

Me, but it'll have to be in about two months, if it can wait that long.

Be a good man, Grim...

Give the tiger a break. Imagine the bollocking you can give him over Live.

Well I've asked my mate now, so they'll have to battle to the death, ironically on Playstation 2s.

£50, £100 in two months (or £50 a month, whatever) and it's yours.
Craster will be your garantor, I'm sure.

If any of this means that I might be able to shoot Mr Chris with a gun, repeatedly, in the face, then I'm all in favour of this.

Do it Mr Chris - DO IT!! Look on it as an investment in your sanity (providing everyone keeps their cameras off!).

Tut. I put my shirt on, Jasmine. You can't ask for more than that.

Mr Dave looked like he lives in some kind of freezer.

Thank you Dimmers

He even showed us his beef!

I've forgotten how beautiful you all are. I need Burnie P action tonight.

Okay - I'm exceedingly tempted - can I have a day or two to consider, and then I'll let you know?

I am the world's biggest tightwad, by the way, so anything over £5 is a big consideration. :-)

I don't think I've played with you since you got your camera.

Yes.
Be quick though, or Mrs Grim... might find it and realise that I've bought a new one.

The fact that the one you got back was black wasn't enough of a hint then?

Repair and respray, innit.

It's in a cupboard.

The wife? Probably easier in the long run.

My mate hasn't got back to me, so fuck it. Chris: BUY THIS.

No I've only played with my Bezzie mates since I got the camera.

Ah, in which case I think we've played together once at most.

You're my Bezzie Hate.
