I had an email today about the Girls Alound concert saying the Organisers have gone into liquidation - I'm claiming my money back from my CC now, thought I'd let you know in case you didn't get email !

I am gobsmacked that you would even admit to this

 ;)

I was taking the Mrs !!!! (or that's my excuse)

yeah yeah

Also FAO JFW, I've found my Neighbours Defining moments DVD, with both DVDs! I'll carry it around everywhere with me until I bump into you and then you can have it.

It includes...
Episode 295: Daphne and Des' Wedding
Episode 523: Scott and Charlene's Wedding
Episode 544: Daphne's Baby
Episode 690: Daphne's Death
Episode 724: Madge and Harold's Wedding
Episode 1563: Christina's Baby
Episode 1721: Todd's Death
Episode 1904: Jim's Death
Episode 2068: Brad and Beth's Wedding
Episode 2290: Mark and Annalise's Wedding
Episode 2965: Helen's Death
Episode 3708: Libby and Drew's Wedding
Episode 3740: Madge's Death
Episodes 3920 and 3921: Libby's Baby

I can't watch Madge's death, it destroys me. Actually I can't watch any neighbours at all any more because I get hooked again. I feel my life is more constructive without it, but I do miss it.

Is this the the Bowood Concert?

My sister has Neighbours, How It All Began on video. Best soap ever.

That's like chosing your best STI...

How did Todd die ?

If you paid by credit card, your more likely to get it back from your credit card company. If by cash, then your in the shit.

Every ticket company seems to fold after getting everyone money lately.

Hit by a car on the way to the clinic to tell a bird not to have an abortion. Good stuff.

Ahh yes

1850 - Bouncers last episode.

Your definitive DVD is anything but FB.

wow I feel popular - yeah I did get the Email I wrote about it in the gigs thing - Im proper pissed off as I paid by debit card too - As did most of my friends who were going

Im proper gutted

BUT

deeply excited by the neighbours video news  - but I dont have a video player

Oh hold on is it on DVD???

I had better get my Tena lady out!!

Yeah it's on two dvds.

Oh my god Ben Im so excited - but when will I see you?

Never. I'm invisible.

oh god! can I give you a magic potion to make you visable again?

Of course.

I'm sure I can hand it over before or after a game or something. I'm generally not very busy.

do I have to give you something in return?

nah you can have it for free.

I need to get rid of it as it's a temptation to start watching neighbours again, but I'd like it to go to a good home.

wow thanks Ben thats so kind - helped me get over my Girls Aloud sadness 

:cloud9: :blowkiss: :ty: :mwah:

arrr sweet.

''it started with a disc, never thought it would come to this''  ;)

Anybody else want any of my stuff I don't want anymore?

Does anybody want a big mixing bowl that Ben left round my place 6 months ago ?

i want an n64 with goldeneye....

I want both those things. Have you drank my bottle of wine?

It went off and I had to pour it away

Are you joking? You wouldn't lie about something serious like that? Would you? Wine doesn't go off! Fred, What have you done?

Only joking mate

its still at home along with your Birthday presents from Jenna

I've got both of those....

I want N64 controllers!

Awesome.

Maybe Fred took the cork out to see if it was still OK, and in a nano-second whilst his gaze was averted a tiny bug jumped in and died of alcohol poisoning and as its body decomposed it started a catalytic reaction which turned the wine into a pungent mess which Fred didn't find out about until, having replaced the cork the first time, he decided to look after your interests again and took the cork out again some time later ...


Realising that you would be heartbroken he rushed out and bought another bottle having steamed the label off of the original one and then fixed it on the replacement bottle just like when you look after someone's goldfish while they go on holiday and it dies ...


... and they all lived happily ever after.

How did you know all that ?...............have you been talking to Jenna ?

The goldfish told me.

Which one ?

Dave or Wanda ?

How are the goldfish? Wanda hasn't grown too much?

No but she is a greedy fucker.....................sometimes I spoil Dave for a while by taking Wanda out and put her in a saucepan and then feed Dave as much as he wants until he throws up.

Oh and I bought them some plants and now they keep playing hide and seek !

Ace.

You should train up Wanda's heat resistance by heating up the saucepan to one degree hotter each time you do it. Soon she'll be able to swim in volcanoes and stuff.

Back to orignal post, does this mean if you've paid by debit card you're proper screwed?  My MRs being the nice gal that she is bought 6 tickets for her and her mates (on debit card) and so has lost £140ish (I think).  I take it that's that then?  I'd ask my mates if it were me to chip in, but I doubt she will.

I read it as only people who paid by cash may lose out.

Those who used debit cards ... just call your bank and ask. Explain the situation, as there may be some mechanism for them to give refunds. Normally only applies to cr. cards, but I got a refund once on a dr. card although I think it was because the company involved had not taken the money by the time I told the bank. Effectively, the bank declined the payment asking the merchant to get additional identification from me as they "suspected fraudulent use".

Oh God Jan thats terrible - makes my three tickets seem not so bad

You'll probably need to register the debt with the reciever and then recieve 1p in the £ if your lucky

Not sure how it works on Debit cards, I assume it is the same as cash though unfortunetly, technically her mates should still pay her for their ticket......

Yup, she may get lucky but it is far from guaranteed

You will definitely, 100%, get your money back with your debit card (as long as it's a Visa one).

You will have to get in touch with whoever your card is with, and supply some kind of paperwork on when the concert was, and also some media coverage of the company going under.

See I can be useful.

that would be useful if it was a visa debit card!  :(

What if it has the Visa sign on your debit card it should be okay, and I agree with the geezer who said her mates should help her out, they were their tickets!

Visa protection is quite significant, but not many people know about it.

I agree too that JamiesFutureWife's mates should help her out. Shall we send the boys round to sort them out?

Just give us the word.   :boxing:

ummmm my mates already paid for there tickets and dont want there money back so really I only lost the money for my own ticket

Its Jan aages wife to be that paid for the lot

She's not my wife JFW, not yet anyway she's my "w2b" as they call them on my w2b's wedding forums she goes on.

But yeah it's her who's lost out on 6 tickets at the moment.  But she has this Visa protection, fingers crossed.

I put wife to be!!!

Yeah but you didn't put w2b.

my bad

So you did JFW, my mistake, and err like Ben says you didn't put w2b!!  (cheers Ben!).

I must have been too excited about arranging my mate's 30th birthday party at Calne Sports Centre!  Have they still got the curtain they pull down the centre of the hall so you can have a 5 a side match on and do trampolining at the same time?

ha ha ha - Ian emailed me about this earlier - SO funny - everyone had there party at Calne sports centre!

Yes we have still got the curtain that goes down the middle of the hall! and yes you can still do trampolining! and yes Jan Stuart will still be the instructor - somethings will never change! although we are a bit more upmarket now - we dont just have pool parties - we have either Treasure Island or Bumper boats (complete with water guns!)

I am actually having a joint treasure Island party for my birthday with on of the other lifeguards as his birthday is a few days after mine!

Getting back on topic, if you have a Visa Debit Card then you are fine. Get in touch with your card issuer.

Do it now.

I dont have a Visa debit card!

BUT MY W2B DOES!!!!!  Hurrah!!!

"W2B"?

read back!

I thought you were talking to me then!!  My God this is getting all a bit confusing!!

Can I be someone's W2B?

 Oh go on then...
