Which is horrible, but I hardly think you can blame his actions on the board of Game.

I didn't

But you did quote his post, which suggested some link.

It was a fairly random reply, take it that way.

I was more trying to point out even some staff members have got it even worse off.

It's soul-destroying seeing all these pictures pop up on Twitter of all these emptied stores. They get a lot of gip for being robots and not knowing what they're talking about (which I've generally found to be bullshit on both counts), but no one can question their heart or dedication. I hope they all find work soon.

Come on, I've all sympathy for people at risk of job losses, I went through it myself recently, but 'no one can question their heart and dedication?' They aren't exactly being carried home through Wootton Bassett, they might be losing their very low paid shop jobs. Worse things have happened.

One of the staff members at my local one got home the day she was fired only to have her boyfriend walk out on her taking pretty much everything they owned

You ought to have bought a kinect game :/

They were sold out of the one I wanted but I bought it on-line the next day for less than half they were charging anyway they were charging £20 pre owed I got it £9 new TBH they didn't have many kinect's games at all left

I had about £80+ on a Gamestation points card and £20 on a Game points card and when the staff game me warning to spend them I did got a Kinects (been wanting to get one for a bit now just never got around to it) from Gamestation and a PS3 game from game.

I do feel sorry for everyone staff and some customers for example the woman who bought her son a gift card for his Birthday they may be cases where someone has done that but they can only afford to get a game say on Christmas and Birthdays and they have really had to save up and go without to put together that £35 (or whatever) and now all it is is a worthless bit of plastic but that is not the staffs fault I'm sure if they knew they were getting cancelled they just wouldn't of sold them and told them why.

Yeah our Game and Gamestation shops were literately about 10-15 steps away from each other they were is a shopping centre and was almost opposite each other

I've updated the list again

I've updated the list

Well my local Gamestation closed down about a hour ago and there is a notice on Game's window saying they are going to close down

Our local Game & Gamestation may be stuffed either way as the Shopping Centre they are located in is also having financial problems and if they can't find a buyer will have to close down.

Well I went in today and the shelves were half empty and the staff were taking some shelves down plus you could tell they wasn't very happy today usually there they are quite a happy bunch but today you could tell something was wrong with them all.

Who knows it may be bad timing and the lease was coming up for renewal anyway so they haven't/can't renew it

I went in Gamestation a few days ago and they told me if I had any points left on my points card to spend them ASAP just in case.

Plus I have a Game card to so went in to use that and the staff were telling the person in front of me if they wanted to do any trade in's they better do them today (this was Saturday) while they still could do them.

Those stores are staffed by idiots then. There has been no communication whatsoever about stopping trade-ins or trouble with loyalty cards. There was some scaremongering going on by the likes of MCV (who have otherwise been pretty pro-GAME), but that's it.

Not so much they are stopping points cards more our local shop may be shutting down and it looks like it's happening this week we have now been told Saturday will be the last day

I think she would of gone last week it just so happened Rebeckah decided to pick that week to increase her bitch rating by 100%.

TBH with the argument thing I think Rebeckah tried to set Heaven up to make sure it was her going but it all backfired on her if she had just of left it I don't think she would of even been nominated.

Yes. That's exactly the part of the story that was completely unbelievable.

Exactly we all know The Hulk is busy filming The Avengers movie

I've been wondering if these were the Mondas Cybermen as they had a spaceship which they crashed landed thousands of years ago knew who The Doctor was and about Time Lords and they had Cybermats.

Why do I seem to recall already knowing that the Doctor can talk to babies? Have they used it before?

I think he said it when he could speak to Melody/River just after she was born.

I seriously cannot wait until next week to see the season finale, nor do I want it to come because itll mean having to wait months for a new season.

A year series 7 won't start until next Autumn.

Enjoy the current run of Doctor Who while it lasts because the wait for the next series is going to be a lengthy one.

Doctor Who Magazine has officially confirmed what has been clear for a while now – Series 7 will not air until Autumn 2012.

With the 9 month shoot on the seventh series not beginning until February 2012, it would have been impossible for the traditional Spring start. The best we could hope for would be an Easter special to make the long gap easier to swallow.

It seems likely that only half of Series 7 will be shown in Autumn 2012, with the remainder coming early 2013. This means the Christmas 2012 episode would air in the middle of a series rather than the end.

It would also mean that 2013 would see an eighth series airing in time for the 50th anniversary.

For clarity, our schedule prediction would be:

2012

Easter Special

Autumn – Series 7 Part 1

Christmas Special

2013

Spring – Series 7 Part 2

Autumn – Series 8

Christmas Special

I thought last nights episode was good and I do love the fact The Doctor can talk baby next weeks looks like it's going to be great but I don't see how they will be able to resolve everything in just 1 episode.

I've seen the phrase "Nuked The Fridge" used as well now though I think "Jumped The Shark" sounds a lot better.

If I had to guess I would say when The Doctor looked into his room he saw himself

Completely agree. What annoys me most is the media, before this, only published stories on her when it was effectively "Lol, Amy looks a mess these days, silly druggy." And now she's died, she's suddenly a media darling who they couldn't think of a negative thing to say about.

Which is how the media is with every celebrity when they pass away too early. A few years ago when Britney Spears was going through her little meltdown, the media was all over her..saying she was crazy etc...but if the worst happened and she died, it would've changed to "Oh she was such an angelic figure that was deeply troubled.."

I'm not gonna say I was sa huge fan of Winehouse. I've heard that Rehab song and possibly 2 or 3 more. My radio dial is usually going between sports talk or rock. What I had heard was good, kind of catchy. Though while it feels good to say "I hope young people learn from her mistakes", far more influencial people have passed away too young and it hasn't made a bit of a difference.

Did anyone learn from Eazy-E passing from AIDS? No.

Did anyone learn from Tupac and Biggie getting shot? No.

Did anyone learn from Lane Staley ODing? No.

Yes, its a damn shame someone that had talent like Winehouse did wasted it away to drug abuse. But in the long run, she's just another person who will be chalked up to "celebrity lifestyle"

It reminds me of when Jade Goody got cancer before that the media slagged her off so much they had to think of new insults just so they and something to call her even in the morning before it was announced they were slagging her off they often said how she was an embarrassment to England and how she was a pathetic waste of space but then about 30 seconds after it was announced that she had terminal cancer she was England's Rose a truly great person and a true inspiration to us all
