Saint-scooby Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Oh please FOOK OFF We will pumping gas, on the way in an SUV to watch a soccer game next.
CylonKing Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I work for a big high street chain and have to agree with you. I'm sick of Black Friday and wish it would b*gger off back to the good ole US of A.
sunrise Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 More americanised arsebiscuits, let's call it what it really is... a sale.
LVSaint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Black Friday wannabees! How many stampede/gunshot/pepper spray deaths will you have today? None I bet. Leave it to the professionals please.
so22saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Black Friday wannabees! How many stampede/gunshot/pepper spray deaths will you have today? None I bet. Leave it to the professionals please. ha ha - I actually did laugh out loud :-) saw an advert for a new vauxhall yesterday: "just 4000 down the 250 a month". so last years us of a car adverts are now here....
Snopper Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I think we should have our own Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for the fact that we don`t have Thanksgiving Day.
ecuk268 Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 According to the Echo: "There are a lot of people walking around West Quay with shopping bags" You don't see that very often.
Batman Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 It's actually quite embarrassing to see the footage on telly
buctootim Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 "I got a Dyson but I dont even know if I want it". “I got two coffee makers, two tablets, two TVs and a stereo. I couldn’t tell you the prices, but I know they’re bargains.” Plebs! http://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/28/black-friday-sales-police-attend-supermarkets-amid-scuffles

badgerx16 Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I've just bought 3 theatre tickets with an £11 per ticket 'Black Friday' reduction.
JackanorySFC Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Just seen a video on Facebook from Tesco in Bursledon this morning, carnage. Poeple ripping stuff off the walls, arguing over kettles and (my favourite bit) some big mush with a trendy beard eventually ripping a Blaupunkt TV off a pair of Doris' half his size after a proper struggle. Seriously, some right old weirdos out there. All that to pay the same as you would have done a few months ago before they whacked the prices up.

Seriously, some right old weirdos out there. All that to pay the same as you would have done a few months ago before they whacked the prices up. Happened to be in Tesco late last night about half an hour before the midnight opening buying a few bits (non Black Friday related). Couldn't believe the amount of people queuing along the length of the store and the amount of mongtards salivating over some of the 'hidden' deals. Actually saw some bloke with a big beard who was probably the one you're talking about. Was hanging around like a vulture waiting for the big reveal. Genuinely felt cleaner as soon as we left (much before the carnarge began).
CB Saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I could understand it if there were once a year genuine bargains, but the same ****e will be in sale at the same prices in ab couple weeks anyway. just yet more seppo bull ****e that has made it across the pond. Thanks a lot amazon.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I got involved Nabbed a PS4 online. Now, will the gf notice if I just set it up whilst she is at work and not mention it?
JackanorySFC Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 The aforementioned video is now on the Echo site. BW - The mush with the massive beard is at the end of the video, orange jacket.

CB Saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I got involved Nabbed a PS4 online. Now, will the gf notice if I just set it up whilst she is at work and not mention it? buying a ps4 online is perfectly acceptable, queuing outside currys all night isn't.
View From The Top Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 (edited) Got a great pair of road shoes that I've had my eye on at 60% off plus 10% cash back via Quidco so I'm more than happy. Edited 28 November, 2014 by View From The Top
Jonnyboy Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I got involved Nabbed a PS4 online. Now, will the gf notice if I just set it up whilst she is at work and not mention it? Does she pay for all your stuff?
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Does she pay for all your stuff? Nope, saved up all my allowance recently, like a big boy
Goatboy Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Stanley fatmax open tote. £10 in B and Q. Man size bargain.
Smirking_Saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Missus 'queued to get onto Currys website last night which I found quite tragic, even more so when she realised there was nothing on there she wanted
Hatch Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm not that worked up about it, it's just a sale. I hate 99% of the population anyway, this wont make me hate them more.
KingdomCome Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I got involved Nabbed a PS4 online. Now, will the gf notice if I just set it up whilst she is at work and not mention it? with Driveclub from Tesco Direct? Think I got the same deal as you....although with a few extra vouchers ended up paying £175:D I was entirely without the ability to turn that down.

Think I got the same deal as you....although with a few extra vouchers ended up paying £175:D I was entirely without the ability to turn that down. Nah, I went Amazon. £299 with Last of Us & Little Big Planet. Not that big into racing games to be honest (I'm useless at them), unless they are Mario/Sonic style kart racers.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Just bought this TV http://www.techradar.com/reviews/audio-visual/televisions/plasma-and-lcd-tvs/lg-55ub950v-1255901/review Got it for £700, which was a pretty good deal. Place was pretty busy but no fighting or madness. Have a business account with them so we pretty much just went round and took the product codes of what we wanted and someone went and got the stuff from the warehouse. Some people were in a bit of a panic there though. Seems low value stuff cause the most chaos e.g. £40 items for £20 cause a bun fight.
Mystic Force Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I got a snowblower and a grill spent all Thanksgiving thinking that southampton should be on the tele only to ha r to remind myself its not boxing day.
hutch Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Is there anywhere we can get Happy Black Friday cards to send to all our friends and relatives?
eurosaint Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Ipad mini - £149 from Tesco online, got straight on about 6am, no problems ! Faced with a bunfight in the stores, I would have walked away ! Me civilsed
aintforever Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I've kept all my money and have less useless sh!t around my house - happy days
mcjwills Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Is there anywhere we can get Happy Black Friday cards to send to all our friends and relatives? Now there is a hidden market for Clintons. I am sure next year they will be in all good retailers.
Turkish Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Personally of rather pay the higher price and not be surrounded by the dregs of society rioting to buy sh*t they don't need at a price they can't afford because they think they're saving a few quid.
aintforever Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 Calling it Black Friday is a bit racist. I've looked at a few pics online and there are clearly a few white people rioting over TVs as well.
Lighthouse Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm not sure they've got the branding right. 'Black Friday' sounds like something bad the IRA did in the 80s. I think it should be called something like 'Saint Wayne's Day'.
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm not sure they've got the branding right. 'Black Friday' sounds like something bad the IRA did in the 80s. I think it should be called something like 'Saint Wayne's Day'. American innit. But you're right.
TopGun Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm getting more right wing as I age... totally in agreement with the comments aimed at Tesco by Greater Manchester Police. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-30241870

Seems low value stuff cause the most chaos e.g. £40 items for £20 cause a bun fight. 700 quid for a telly with 'below average contrast' and 'dimming sometimes clumsy'. You have checked it does colour pictures, yes?
Saint_clark Posted 28 November, 2014 Posted 28 November, 2014 I'm not that worked up about it, it's just a sale. I hate 99% of the population anyway, this wont make me hate them more. I suggest you watch some of the videos going around, I guarantee it WILL make you hate them more.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 November, 2014 Posted 29 November, 2014 700 quid for a telly with 'below average contrast' and 'dimming sometimes clumsy'. You have checked it does colour pictures, yes? You did notice that the review was from an article called top 10 tv's of 2014 didn't you? The average is the other 9 best tv's of 2014. Plus its a smart tv, so I'll obviously be using it when I work from home..... Tax deductible innit.
Twiggy Posted 29 November, 2014 Posted 29 November, 2014 As a student, I raided the amazon Black Friday sale... First stop was Ink cartridges which were at the time cheap as chips. Next as my housemates are determined to have a "family" christmas thing, i got their presents, as i strongly dislike them, getting them for 75% off was a bonus! So no complaints from me this year!
Bloo71 Posted 29 November, 2014 Posted 29 November, 2014 I always thought 'Black Friday' was the name the Police gave to the last working Friday before Christmas when most people go out to celebrate time off work. This recent phenomenon is a gross American export. Incredibly annoying that we always seem to copy the more vulgar things the USA has to offer.
farawaysaint Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 They had it over here in South Africa as well this year for some unknown reason. We are all America's *****es.
whelk Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Life is so shallow for most now that shopping is their main interest. A sad reflection and so dull. Although seeing a few scumbags fighting and getting worked up over a cheap TV has comedy value. Now I am getting emails about Black Friday extended over weekend ie you have a fckin sale on - I get it,
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Life is so shallow for most now that shopping is their main interest. A sad reflection and so dull. Although seeing a few scumbags fighting and getting worked up over a cheap TV has comedy value. Now I am getting emails about Black Friday extended over weekend ie you have a fckin sale on - I get it, Watch you don't fall and hurt yourself when you get down off your pedestal. I partook in the sales, but only Amazon wise. Got an electric toothbrush with Bluetooth and an app? Bizarre.

mcjwills Posted 30 November, 2014 Posted 30 November, 2014 Pleased for you and thanks for sharing. Happy holidays Happy f***ing holidays there alone is one statement that ****es me off. It got so bad that UK companies have to put that God awful statement on Xmas card so not to bloody upset other religions at Xmas. Not even allowed to mention Xmas at Xmas. It's beggars belief.
Deano6 Posted 1 December, 2014 Posted 1 December, 2014 Happy f***ing holidays there alone is one statement that ****es me off. It got so bad that UK companies have to put that God awful statement on Xmas card so not to bloody upset other religions at Xmas. Not even allowed to mention Xmas at Xmas. It's beggars belief. You do realise other religions exist, right? And that there is no shortage of Christmas cards which mention Christmas.
