    Just a quick note to say regarding your ps3, the disc drive went in mine about 3 weeks so went into GameStop to see what they could do......so basically they'll order one from Sony and I bring in my old one to them with €125 and get a new one.

    Don't know why it has to be ordered from Sony instead of just taking one from behind the counter:confused:, it's probably whatever agreement they have with Sony. Any hope this helps somewhat!!

    Was yours under warranty? As I have mine about 4 years.

    A bit of good news. Mothers friend's house was broken into out in Lismore a few nights back. Woman immediately rang the Gardaí who turned up in no time and the scumbag was arrested with a knife.

    Lovely jubbly.

    Carrying a knife.... shocking. Hopefully people aren't too emboldened by the recent clarification in the law about defending your property. If you run into a lunatic like this bringing a knife to a house robbery you could be in serious trouble.

    Sorry for the late reply, only saw this now!

    No it wasn't under warranty, have it about 4 years if not more myself! Hope this helps!:)

    OT: It gets exchanged for a refurb model, ie: a broken once, fixed now model. Usually comes in a plain cardboard box.

    I'm not being discriminitory here but look out for a wine coloured
    taxi been drivin by a foreign national with a number of individuals
    in the rear. I've relayed this to HQ but I wasn't contacted about
    it. The reg' didn't register nor did the taxi have any distinguishing
    company on its plate.

    I'm making a copy of this post so if it's deleted I'm taking it further!

    The lads I stopped from robbing a van months ago had a dark coloured car that looked like a typical taxi/hackney.
    It was fair late in the night but it was a big car. Something like a almera/primera. New enough looking car. Looked well cared for (not what ya think scumbags be going around in) nearly got the head took off me tbh but sure feck it.

    I heard that exact same story a few weeks ago, except that the people in question apparantly got a taxi from woodstown into the theatre royal, only to discover they had forgotten tickets and went back to woodstown to get them, only to find the first taxi driver in their house, just like you said.
    My parents live in woodstown but no one in the area heard anything about it so maybe your story may have been altered chinese whispers esque around the town. Makes ya sick though. All these things going on in the city over the past few weeks and the only thing to make the news is the feckin baby jesus thing being robbed.

    Friend of mine's brother (not in waterford) recently caught 2 lads out trying to steal their heating oil at 3am. One of them got away but they caught the other and discovered he was a local lad they knew well. Tied him up with cable ties and rang his parents telling them where they could find him if they wanted him. Thought it would be more effective than ringing the guards.

    TBH,I heard of a few stories of the taxi's going back to the house's , I did actually hear of it happening in woodstown or passage area ! didnt hear why the ppl went back to their house tho... , but the cops didnt look at all suprised when they heard the story,so must be a common enuf thing !!! crazy how it 'stays' out of the papers tho isnt it :confused:
    Think its time I got a nice big dog to mind me house for me :D

    At 3:00am would you think the parents gave a fcuk?
    Should have rang the cops instead.
    Let them break the news!

    In some rural communities mammy is a much bigger fear than the guards!
