    Let me see if I got this right.... You won a gimpmask that you wanted to wear to a Coldplay gig and you want to report the site because they put your rebel friend on the game?

    Can we combine this thread with a few complaints I've got ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    You need to get your dad on the case.

    First he has to know who it's coming from, because he's back-traced it.
    Then he'll have to report them to the cyber police, and the state police...

    If by complaint you mean incoherent ramblings then yes, this would be the logical place for it.

    I'll start shall I?

    Wednesday is today but phone told me too and then I thought it was Thursday? I forget and not remember that tomorrow Thursday but Friday. Now I miss thing and not my fault because of them phone pricks.

    Do I have a case?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Oh and I almost forgot, this is key: Your dad has to have an epic moustache/beard combo going on while he's doing all this.

    Nothing you can do, op.
    Websites are not like bricks and mortar shops. With them you can always goto the ombudsman or what not and since you didnt buy anything - just won something. There is zilch you can do. They will either send it or choose not too .... looks like they are choosing not too. Sure truth be known they probably never had such an item to give away in the first place.

    I too would like to make a complaint.

    It was my sister's birthday recently so I decided I'd buy her a dress from an independent online retailer.

    When the dress arrived, I was disappointed to discover that it wasn't nearly sexy enough for her, in stark contrast to the seller's claims. :(

    But every brother should be concerned about a dress being too sexy for his sister!


    (I miss those guys, haven't seen one in ages.)

    You've got me :(. I'd constructed a liberal, only-slightly-incestuous persona, but in reality I've been playing a long con and am actually a highly-advanced spambot created to sell surplus soiled dresses from a Taiwanese warehouse.

    Do you think this dress is too sexy for my sister?

    Have you tried running? It's all the rage, apparently.
    Didn't understand any of the other stuff you posted, somthing about the future, french underground and trying to buy half an acre?? Good luck with finding a hobby, can be very fulfilling - (avoid any of the toy-soldier paintball type activities, well ghey).:)

    Tesco could hire you - they lose loads of them.:)

    Well, you could find out what country the company is registered in, then sue them.

    Should cost you no more than €1000 in legal fees...assuming you win.
